Not every event is the same. Your ticketing platform shouldn’t be either.

At Sellout, we’ve had a lot of thoughtful conversations with event organizers—people behind hometown concerts, grassroots festivals, rodeos, and venue calendars that stay full year-round.

These teams aren’t just looking for software. They’re looking for something that fits. A ticketing platform that doesn’t complicate the process, add stress, or make them feel like just another number.

If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone.

We’ve met many organizers who have used platforms like Eventbrite for years—and for some, it works just fine. But others are starting to look around. Not because something is broken, but because they’re ready for something a little more flexible. A little more personal. A little more human.

Eventbrite is built for the masses, which means your event page can look just like thousands of others. Their system locks you into their templates, fee structures, and workflows—leaving little room to showcase your brand or make things work the way you want.

Sellout gives you the opposite: branded event pages that feel like yours, flexible pricing that doesn’t nickel-and-dime your attendees, and a team that actually knows your name. We’re built to fit your unique event, not the other way around.

Why Some Organizers Are Looking for Eventbrite Alternatives

They want more clarity around fees.

With Eventbrite, service fees are often added at checkout, surprising attendees and creating awkward conversations for organizers. Sellout keeps pricing upfront and transparent—no hidden add-ons, no last-minute sticker shock.

They’re looking for less friction.

Eventbrite’s robust feature set can mean a steep learning curve, with menus and options you may never need. Sellout is built to be straightforward, so you can create events and start selling tickets without digging through complicated settings.

They need support that feels like… support.

Eventbrite relies heavily on help articles and email queues, which can mean waiting days for answers. With Sellout, you get quick, direct access to a real person who understands live events and can help you in the moment.

What Sellout Offers Instead

We’re not trying to be everything to everyone, we’re trying to be exactly what you need if you’re ready for something more intuitive, more collaborative, and more human.

Here’s what makes us different:

✔️ Simple, transparent pricing

Eventbrite takes a percentage of every ticket plus extra processing fees—costs that can add up fast. Sellout keeps it straightforward with clear, flat pricing and no surprise charges, so you and your attendees know exactly what to expect.

✔️ Built for real-life events

Eventbrite’s system is made for everything from webinars to massive conferences, which can feel clunky for smaller gatherings. Sellout was built specifically for independent venues and small-to-midsize organizers—whether it’s a block party, a brewery concert, or a multi-day fest.

✔️ A team you can actually talk to

With Eventbrite, you’re often stuck in a help queue or waiting on email replies. With Sellout, you get direct, real-human support from people who know the event industry—fast, friendly, and ready to help.

✔️ Flexibility without the overwhelm

Eventbrite can require extra setup and force you into their workflow. Sellout is designed to fit into what you’re already doing, so you can start selling tickets without overhauling your process.
