Or, say that you're planning a local event, but you don't know how to promote it or efficiently sell tickets. What do you do? One place where you can go to plan or buy tickets to attend local events is Eventbrite.com. So what exactly is Eventbrite? Eventbrite is an independent platform for hosting or joining local events. You can create an event and sell tickets for it (or just give them away), invite specific people, or share the event among your friends. You can also search for events to join based on location, topic, or whether you have to pay or not.
