[Editors] eventbrite for event management

[Julie Pryor]

Thanks everyone! Indeed, Acteva = RED FLAG

Looks like we'll go with eventbrite; I really appreciate your responses.

All the best,

Julie

I would definitely stay away from Acteva !

+1. They used to be our only option and always disappointed. (Clunky enough that we needed customer service, which they didn't have, and then a really slow pay-out.)

Julie,

I have heard only good things about this company (Eventbrite), they have received an"A" rating with the Better Business Bureau.

I have only used Regonline and Acteva  - I would definitely stay away from Acteva !

Best of Luck !

Hi all,

We have an event coming up for which there will be a required registration fee. We've used eventbrite with great success for our free events, but I wanted to check with this list to see if others have used eventbrite for events that require online payment. We've been burned in the past with other online event management sites, so I'm eager to hear any feedback — good or bad — with eventbrite!

Thanks,

Julie
