Is Eventbrite a good improv comedy platform for a new troupe?

Absolutely. Our platform is perfect for new troupes because it's free to get started and helps you tap into a built-in audience of event-goers. Our marketing tools help you build a following from your very first show.

How can I offer discounted tickets to students or other groups?

You can create custom ticket types with specific names and prices. Simply set up a 'Student' or 'Group' ticket with its own price point. You can also create hidden tickets with access codes for special promotions.
