How to invite others to join a group

Eventbrite Logo

If you're the team captain, you can invite people to join your group! Go to the Tickets page in your Eventbrite account and click on the name of your group to get started. If you’re a group member, use the social sharing icons near the top of the page to spread awareness and get others to join your group.

TIP: Depending on the event's settings, groups may also be referred to as teams, companies, associations, or organizations (but the steps here are the same.)

1. Go to your group page and click the "Invite" button.

Invite is the first option under Team Captain Tools when managing your group page.

Group managers can send email invitations by clicking "Invite" under Group Manager/Team Captain Tools on their group page. Feel free to enter email addresses manually (separated by commas) or import contacts from Gmail, Yahoo! Mail, or Outlook/CSV.

PRO TIP: You can also send invites with our mobile app, but importing contacts is not currently supported in mobile.

NOTE: Don’t upload or enter more than 2,000 email addresses. We limit the number of email invitations any one account can send in a day to keep our delivery rates excellent (good for you and all our events.) If you need to invite more than 2,000 people, just send additional invitations after 24 hours or copy the share link to your clipboard and add it to an email you'll send outside of Eventbrite.

2. Customize your invitation.

Customize the Subject and Message of your invite. Also, select the box next to "Send a copy to myself" if you'd like to receive a copy of the invite.

Group invitations are pre-populated with some text, but we encourage you to customize the subject line and message. Keep it short but clear—succinctly explain why you’d like people to join your group.

TIP: Links to event registration will automatically be included in your email invitation, but your name is not attached to the email (so be sure to sign off on the email if that’s important for your invitation).

PRO TIP: When you send a group invite, the “from” field of the email will be your group name. Invitees can reply to this email and it will be returned to you.

3. Send your invitation!

Once you click Send, you should see a success message letting you know your invites are on their way.
