Hands down the easiest way to manage event registration
Events.com has allowed us to better organize the "behind the scenes" of the event registration process. Other sites did not have accessible help features and we would spend time on YouTube looking up how to videos. We have saved countless man hours being able to email in needed changes and thoughts about how we wanted to change things and the events.com team would walk us through options.
PROSThe staff at events.com are extremely knowledgeable and were able to ask me my goals for the event registrations and they walked me through how to do it (although they do all the setup) so I was aware of how to do it. They are able to make the registration site function in the way that works best for the end user and us as the organizer. The people on the events.com team, are some of the best people I have worked with and genuinely care about our organization and what these events allow us to do beyond the event. They care about their customers.
CONSI cant think of anything that I want changed about events.com. Everything from the site (desktop and mobile) to the people behind the site I have been extremely happy.
Reasons for switching to Events.com
Representative from events.com reached out to us (like a genius) and asked us who we used and how we liked working with them. After a couple phone calls and one sit down meeting with our treasurer and event registration site handler we made the switch.

Best Customer Support Ever!
We are able to host all of our events through events.com and that is a game changer for us. Payment plans, different ticket pricing - it's all wonderful to have in one place!
PROSEvents.com has the best customer support. They checked in on us multiple times to make sure we didn't have any questions and to wish our event well. Amazing people at events.com!
CONSThere are a few features that would be wonderful to have that are not currently offered, like an email notification each time a new sign up comes through. The daily summaries were sufficient for us though!
Reason for choosing Events.com

A fantastic and highly personalized ticket management system
Events.com made our conference ticket purchasing process simple for our attendees and streamlined our check-in process with the use of tablets for ticket scanning. Their prices were better for us than the competing system we had previously used and the personalized service made working with them extremely simple and pleasing.
PROSOur local sales rep was AMAZING. She made our transition from a different service provider seamless, provided fast and friendly support, and personalized our event page herself. I had never even received a call from the previous service we used, but Events.com made us feel like our company and event mattered to them.
CONSThere was very little not to like. I recall having a couple of very minor requests that could not be fulfilled by their system, but they said that they would look into the ideas for the future.
Reason for choosing Events.com

PROSI like the UI, it is very clear and I am able to find what I am looking for easily.
CONSPromo codes: The selection of dates and choosing which event the code will work is a bit hard. Selecting the date and ticket type could appear somewhere before saving the promo code. otherwise, I forget about them

Review for Events
I use events.com to host meetings, conferences, or race events for registration. I use it to collect registrant info and push out marketing information to my social network.
PROSSimple layout made it easy to setup and launch the events I was hosting.
CONSSometimes it was difficult to find certain features in the navigation homepage - the icons didn't necessarily match the category I was looking for (like tickets sold, promo codes, etc.)
Reason for choosing Events.com
Ease of use and a good recommendation. The recommendation was based on speedy and reliable customer service which I found to be true.
Reasons for switching to Events.com
I was recommended the site by another race director who works closely with the event.com team.

The Team At Events.com Are Amazing!
We were processing ticket sales manually before events.com. They handle all of our ticket sales seamlessly now so I can spend my time doing other project items.
PROSIt is very easy to use, but more importantly, [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and the team behind it is amazing.
CONSThere isn't anything that I would point out as being a "con" as the platform is very easy to use.

Events.com makes all our event ticketing simple and easy!
Online ticketing is made easier with Events.com. (Took a bit of time getting used to the functionalities, but worth it).
PROSThe extra 'add-on's' (such as swag, drink, t-shirts, socks etc) are a really nice touch. The sharing feature to allow others to invite friends for a discount is great!
CONSCopying past events to use for future events is not that easy. Some of the features do no 'port-over' well. e.g. the customized messages when people pursue a ticket need to manually be done again (and the cut and past URL's each need to be manually inserted). Would be nice to be able to cut and past hyperlinks for ease of reference. But most of all would be great if copying an event could also include this. Not sure how much Events.com promotes our events to other local people who may be interested in attending similar events. (This was one of the greatest assets of Eventbrite)
Reason for choosing Events.com
Co-founder is a local Ottawa entrepreneur and we love supporting local businesses!Plus the additional functionality of Events.com is much appreciated.

Good platform that could be great.
Because the customer service is excellent, any major issues we have with the software are immediately seen to by our customer service rep. As stated above, this software would get a 10/10 if we had access to reporting options and more customization.
PROSThe software is generally easy to use, and the customer service is excellent. It is much easier for our customers to use as well.
CONSCreating reports is very limited in what information you can pull together and I have to ask our customer service rep to do those for us. Would be much better if we could do them ourselves. There are some registration options that we wish we could customize as well.

Brainstorming at the Bunker
I have done 2 events now and will certainly be doing more. I would like to see improvements in the look and feel and the key document export options.
PROSThe help staff were awesome. Took an active role and helped me get things in the way they needed to be. Great advisors. The software easily loaded into my squarespace site, with the help of your staff.
CONSI think the look and feel of Eventbrite is nicer visually. Easier for customers/clients for purchasing tickets. There needs to be improvements in the ticket purchasers document export. The excel document required a lot of work at my end to clean it up and pull important information from. I found that experience didn't match your front end experience. It should be as simple and easy to use as building an event.

It was suggested to me by a friend who does many events. She switched over from Eventbright and highly recommended you.

Always been awesome experience!
PROSEasy to use, love how you can duplicate events during set up and best part is choice of payment platform- as an event organizer getting paid within days of ticket sales is great. It allows organizers to pay vendors as sales come in.

Could not speak more highly of the team and service.
PROSClean, simple, easy to use. It is the best platform for ticketing by far. Fair pricing.
CONSNo webpage integration. - click-out leads to a huge drop-off - which means less ability to track conversions. *Showclix have a simple, but very effective integration) No app - app like eventbrite to check in participants / track sales would be amazing. Logging into events.com every time to check sales wasn’t great.

Events.com is user friendly and customer service is top notch!
I have used a number of registration platforms over the years. Since moving our events to Events.com 2+ years ago, I have never looked back and wished we hadn't made the change. In fact, when some clients choose other platforms and issues arise, it reminds me why I am so happy with this decision. The ease of setting up new events and copying past events in incomparable. Any time I have a support question, it is answered thoroughly and quickly! The team actually listens to user feedback and makes enhancements based on that feedback!
PROSI have used a number of registration platforms over the years. Since moving our events to Events.com 2+ years ago, I have never looked back and wished we hadn't made the change.

Why we use Events.
I love the ease of the platform. It is very user friendly and what isn't easy the customer service is top-notch. We get taken care of.
CONSMy only con is that this software does not work with iPads. Every device we have is an iPad. Our timing company also only uses iPads. It's very difficult to use this without it being used across all platforms. I don't know anyone that uses tablets. I really hope the IOS version is coming sooner rather than later. It's hard to tell other companies about needing to use this when they also can't use certain aspects.

Difficult To USe
If you can't tell we haven't enjoyed it. After the initial sales call everything was pretty downhill.
PROSIt sells tickets. You want me to type more but that is literally the only thing we like.
CONSEverything else. IF you skip something it won't process. Trying to retrieve customer info you have to click back and forth a million times. If you download the information it's useless and unreadable. Trying to make a list of who bought what is worthless and taking about 6 hours at this point. When there is an issue you don't fix it. You just tell me to fix it. We were told a machine would be sent to us this week to process tickets, that didn't happen. Overall a very disappointing experience that has required far more work on our part than we were expecting. I wish we had never sold tickets at all. We would have saved a ton of time.
