Can I sell different types of tickets for my pub crawl?

Yes. Eventbrite allows you to create multiple ticket types. You can set up early-bird pricing to drive initial sales, VIP packages with extra perks, or group tickets to encourage friends to sign up together.

How do I manage check-in for a large group at the first bar?

The Eventbrite Organizer app is perfect for this. You and your team can use your phones to scan QR codes on digital or printed tickets for fast, efficient check-in, preventing long lines and getting your event started smoothly.

Can I sell tickets at the door for my bar crawl?

Absolutely. The Organizer app lets you securely sell bar crawl tickets on-site. Use our Tap to Pay feature to accept credit cards and debit cards, making it easy to accommodate last-minute attendees.

How can I communicate with attendees before the crawl?

Use Eventbrite's built-in email marketing tools to send updates to your registered guests. You can share the final route map, remind them of the starting point and time, or announce any special themes or instructions.

Is there a way to limit ticket sales to people 21 and over?

You can clearly state the age restriction on your event page and in all communications. While our platform doesn't verify age at purchase, you are responsible for checking government-issued IDs at your event check-in point.

How can Eventbrite help me promote my walking bar tour?

Your event gets listed on our global marketplace, exposing it to millions. Plus, you can use our social media integrations with Facebook and Instagram, and run targeted Eventbrite Ads to reach people interested in nightlife in your city.
