Eventbrite measures your event by how many people paid. FirstMove measures it by how many of them met someone. Only one of those brings the room back next month.
Eventbrite stops at the checkout. FirstMove owns the hours that decide whether anyone comes back.
Selling tickets and taking registrations at scale: checkout, refunds, ticket types and sales reporting. Its job is complete the moment someone has paid.
The hours nobody else is competing for. A geofenced VibeZone switches on inside your venue and turns a paid-up crowd into a room that actually connects, with consent built into the protocol rather than bolted on afterwards.
| FirstMoveThe Presence Layer | EventbriteEvent ticketing and registration | |
|---|---|---|
| The job it does | Turns a crowd into a room that connects | Sells tickets and takes registrations |
| When it matters | Doors open until last orders, while everyone is on site | Before the event, at the point of purchase |
| What the attendee does with it | Opens it the moment they arrive | Buys, then closes the app |
| Attendee privacy | Ephemeral profiles. Nothing survives the event | Named purchaser records retained indefinitely |
| What you learn | How alive the room was, without surveilling anyone | Sales, conversion and ticket mix |
| Free events | Full capability, and no ticketing fee | Supported, but the model is built around paid tickets |
| Ticketing | Included if you want it, from 2.5% + £0.30. Not the reason to come | The core product |
Eventbrite is described by what it is built for. Feature lists change. The boundary does not.
Adding FirstMove costs you nothing you already have. No data import, no audience export, no change to how people buy. Keep your current ticketing and run FirstMove alongside it, or bring ticketing across to us, since FirstMove Partners ships ticketing, event management and white-label event pages too. Either way, the VibeZone is the reason your room changes. And if you run free nights, residencies or community events where nobody buys a ticket at all, FirstMove works on its own.
Tap a question to expand.
It can. FirstMove Partners ships ticketing, event management, payouts and white-label event pages, with free events carrying no ticketing fee and paid ticketing from 2.5% + £0.30. But swapping one checkout for another is not the reason to come to us. Eventbrite closes the transaction and stops. FirstMove owns everything that happens after the door, which is the part that decides whether the room fills again.

Yes, at full capability. A VibeZone is tied to a place and a time window rather than a ticket, so free community nights, campus events, gym sessions, co-working days and open venues all work exactly the same way.
Keep the stack you have. Add the layer you do not. We will walk you through what a VibeZone looks like in your venue.
