How can I sell tickets for teams instead of individuals?

You can easily create group tickets on Eventbrite. Set a ticket type like 'Team of 4' and specify that one person registers for their whole group. This simplifies the sign-up process for your quiz night attendees.

Can I use Eventbrite for a free trivia night just to manage sign-ups?

Yes, Eventbrite is free for free events. You can use our platform to create an event page, manage RSVPs, and check in attendees at no cost to you or them. It's a great way to track attendance for your bar trivia event.

How can I promote my quiz night to new people?

Eventbrite helps people discover your event through our marketplace and personalized recommendations. You can also use our integrated marketing tools to create social media ads to reach potential players in your area.

What's the easiest way to check teams in at the door?

The Eventbrite Organizer app turns your phone into a ticket scanner. Attendees can show their QR code ticket on their phone, and your staff can scan them for instant, hassle-free check-in. No more printed lists.

Can I sell tickets at the door if my event isn't sold out?

Absolutely. The Eventbrite Organizer app allows you to sell tickets on-site. With our Tap to Pay feature, you can securely accept credit and debit card payments right at the door for any walk-in teams.

Is Eventbrite a good pub quiz platform for recurring events?

Yes, it's simple to copy a previous event to set up a recurring trivia night. This saves you time and helps you build a consistent following. All your settings, tickets, and descriptions can be carried over to the new event listing.
