Eventbrite has launched a free timed entry tool, designed to empower event organizers with the ability to set up and sell multiple daily time slots for their events. This fully customizable solution is perfect for various activities, including tours, attractions, excursions, and classes, enabling attendees to book tickets for their preferred time slots. Coupled with Eventbrite's AI-powered tools for generating event descriptions and categorizations, this new feature simplifies event setup and capacity management for organizers.

Benefits of Timed Entry Ticketing

“Timed entry ticketing makes managing event capacity easy, freeing up organizers to focus on creating memorable experiences,” says Ted Dworkin, Chief Product Officer at Eventbrite. “For attendees, the tool reduces long lines, stressful check-ins, and overcrowded events, enhancing the overall experience for everyone.”

The Massachusetts Horticultural Society remarked, “Timed entry has enabled us to spread guest arrivals across a day and avoid rushes during peak hours, ensuring we have the right staffing and volunteer levels throughout the day. This allows us to keep everything running smoothly.”

Maximizing Attendance During the Busy Holiday Season

With an engaged community of over 93 million event-goers and built-in marketing tools to boost event promotion, Eventbrite's timed entry solution offers organizers unparalleled flexibility and greater reach, especially as searches for seasonal activities like haunted houses, pumpkin patches, light shows, and ice skating surge on the platform. This feature can help organizers maximize both attendance and revenue.

Additional Benefits for Eventbrite Organizers

In addition to integrating the timed entry feature into existing events, Eventbrite has introduced several new enhancements to optimize event management and improve the attendee experience:

• Free Unlimited Event Publishing: Eventbrite has made its platform and advanced ticketing tools available for everyone. Organizers can now publish and promote unlimited events and benefit from reduced-cost Pro Plans, boosting reach and ticket sales while saving on costs. Standard, low-cost ticketing fees will still apply, but organizers can choose to absorb these costs or pass them on to attendees.

• Consolidated Payouts: A simplified payout process allows organizers to receive a single payout deposit from funds across all eligible time slots within their timed entry event.

• More Customizable Ticket Offerings: A newly launched BOGO (Buy One, Get One) promotional feature enables organizers to easily offer attendees two tickets for the price of one, encouraging more people to attend their favorite events with friends or family.

• Simplified Mobile Check-In: An updated interface in the Eventbrite Organizer App streamlines the check-in process for timed entry events, making it easier than ever to welcome guests.
