Set up a tracking pixel with Google Universal Analytics

To use Google Universal Analytics with Eventbrite, create a new property in your Analytics account and get the tracking ID. Then go to “Tracking pixels” (under “Marketing”) and select “Add new pixel”. Enter in your tracking ID and save. Eventbrite automatically adds in the rest of the tracking pixel code to your checkout.
