Eventbrite
Find local events, buy tickets and keep them on your phone, with friends' plans in the same feed
by Eventbrite · listed Nov 9, 2026
Quick verdict
If you attend events beyond big arena shows, Eventbrite is worth installing simply because so many smaller organizers sell through it. Discovery is decent in big cities and thinner elsewhere.
Best for People who go to local gigs, classes, meetups and community events and want tickets in one place

Eventbrite review
Eventbrite is the attendee app for the large ticketing platform of the same name, where organizers sell tickets to everything from club nights and gigs to workshops, meetups and hobby classes. The app is for people who want to browse what is happening nearby, book a spot and have the ticket ready at the door without digging through email.
Day to day, the Discover tab works as a personalised feed with search and filters, and listings now carry more photos, video and practical details so you can judge a venue before paying. Saved and liked events keep a shortlist handy, tickets live in their own tab or can go into your phone wallet, and time and location are a tap away on the day. You can also follow friends and organizers to see what they are booking. Curated city guides called It-Lists are rolling out in select cities only.
Why we picked it: A huge share of small, independent and community events are only ticketed through Eventbrite, so having the app makes buying and checking in much smoother.
Watch out for: The app itself is free, but individual events often add service fees on top of the ticket price, and the social features ask for contact access if you want to find friends.
What we like
- Wide range of local events, from free meetups to paid shows
- Tickets stored in the app or saved to your phone wallet
- Search and filters make it easy to narrow by date and type
- Follow organizers to hear about their next events
- Free to download with no in-app purchases
What could be better
- Event selection depends heavily on your city
- Ticket service fees are set per event and can add up
- Social and friend-following features feel optional and a bit busy
- It-Lists guides only available in select cities
