Does it deserve #4?
The verdict
Eventbrite is the default way to find and book local events, from workshops and gigs to festivals and networking nights. Personalized recommendations help with discovery, and your tickets sit in the app ready to scan at the door. Organizers get solid ticketing and check-in tools. The downside is fees: paid tickets usually carry service charges, and promoted listings can clutter the feed.
