Eventcloud
Eventcloud is an event registration and ticketing platform for organisers running events of any size. It combines event pages, ticket-specific registration forms, payments and on-site check-in. Organisers can manage attendee answers, resend confirmations and export registration data to CSV or Excel. Payments connect to the organiser’s own Stripe account; Eventcloud says ticket revenue goes to that account and it charges no per-ticket fees. On event day, a phone camera can scan QR tickets, while organisers can print badges and view live attendance and revenue metrics. Promotion tools include promo codes, affiliate links and waiting lists. The web platform can also be self-hosted, and its integration information describes a REST API and an embeddable registration widget. Team costs $125 a month when billed monthly, or $1,250 a year when billed annually. Users can build and test for free without a time limit, but an active Team subscription is required to publish events and sell tickets. Enterprise offers white-label options, single sign-on and a dedicated account manager.
