Our goal is to make their work easier and their impact bigger — helping them reach more people, sell more tickets, and create the kinds of experiences that keep communities coming back,” said Ted Dworkin, Eventbrite Chief Product Officer. “As organizers head into one of the busiest seasons for live events, we’re focused on giving them the tools and insights to succeed, and we’ll carry that investment into 2026 to ensure Eventbrite remains the go-to marketplace to transform passions into real-world experiences.”

Listener.com Partnership: Turning Podcast Fans into Live Audiences

Eventbrite’s new partnership with AI-powered analytics platform Listener.com gives podcasters a unified view of their audiences by combining event, ticketing, and revenue data from Eventbrite with listener insights from Apple, Spotify, YouTube, and social platforms. The integration helps podcast organizers identify their most engaged listeners, plan tours with confidence, and measure how digital engagement translates into in-person attendance and community growth.

With podcast fandoms surging—43% of fans engage with podcasts through other media, and 21% have attended a live show—the Listener.com integration offers organizers practical tools to pinpoint strong markets and plan their next live event. The integration is now available in the Eventbrite App Marketplace and offers a simple, no-code setup that automatically syncs data every 24 hours.

The result is a smarter, more seamless way for podcast hosts and event organizers to bring their audiences from online discovery to real-world connection.

Targeted Ads Expansion

• Now available in the U.S., the U.K., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Singapore, sponsored listings help organizers reach new audiences and boost discovery directly on Eventbrite.

Share on Social

Lineup Tool

• For music and performance events, the lineup tool makes it simple to spotlight artists through rich profiles that automatically post events to Spotify, Bandsintown, and Songkick. This integration helps organizers reach fans where they already discover new music, bringing listeners from digital discovery to live shows.

It gives attendees more flexibility to buy tickets while helping organizers increase capacity and manage crowds more efficiently.

– Maggiano’s Little Italy Manager, Bobbi Jo Ballard.

Buy Now, Pay Later

• With 52% of shoppers saying they're more likely to make a purchase when Buy Now, Pay Later options are available, this feature makes tickets more accessible and offers attendees more flexible ways to pay in the U.S., the U.K., Canada, Australia, New Zealand and select European markets.

Tap to Pay

• Expanding beyond the U.S. to Canada, the U.K., and Australia, Tap to Pay enables organizers to accept contactless payments directly on their devices without extra hardware. This helps organizers sell more tickets at the door and speed up check-in.

Guest Lists

• Built for VIP guests, this tool streamlines entry and communication so organizers can effortlessly manage arrivals quickly and confidently.

In addition to these new tools, Eventbrite strengthened its reliability, reporting, and foundational systems to improve the overall site experience and support for attendees and organizers.
