I love brushfire and the people behind the software, its been a helpful tool to help me do ministry.

Reviewed 7 years ago
Pros

I like that the software has customization to it that allows you to modify things so easily and quickly. It is a great tool to bring clear communication to your attendees pre during and post an event. The report features and tracking from years past is helpful. I've used many registration softwares and brushfire has hands down always been my favorite.

Cons

The one thing that as a new user that I didn't like much was how many things you have to click on to get somewhere. And that there is a lot of ways you can get to the same thing. It was a lot before I knew how to get around.

Growing with our Organization

Reviewed a year ago

I have enjoyed working with Brushfire and having one customer service agent available to us ([sensitive content hidden] ) who knows our needs from working with us for several years.

Pros

I like that Brushfire continues to grow and desires to meet the needs that we have.

Cons

I think Customizable Reports need to add an AN/OR filter choice.

Awesom, easy, and perfectly suited to our needs!

Reviewed 7 years ago

We used to do ticket sales on our own or through a local company - Brushfire is so much more professional, easy, and brings results.

Pros

The system, process, and support are second to none. We sold 25,000 tickets with ease. Will never use anyone or anything else.

Cons

A small learning curve for new users, however, tech support is available and goes above and beyond.

Easy Event Registration

Reviewed 4 years ago

We use Brushfire for all of our camps, retreats, and other events with costs associated.

Pros

Brushfire makes it extremely easy for people to register for events as well as manage those registrations and communicate with registrants.

Cons

Setting up registrations is deep and can be complicated with a pretty steep learning curve. However, there is excellent customer support that can help users through the process.

Vendor response

Thanks for the kind words! We're looking forward to partnering with you and all of your events!

Exemplary service since 2005/2006

Reviewed 8 years ago

Our experience with this online ticketing service has been fantastic in every aspect. We have used this service every year for our major Christmas productions (2-3 shows). Response time to any requests for additional support or customization for our event needs is always immediate. They are exceptional in every way and we will continue to use this service for all our online ticketing needs, and will continue to encourage others in our organization to do so. Impossible to imagine another ticketing company providing the quality of product and service that Brushfire does.

Pros

Ease of use. Appealing and clear presentation. Service support is EXCEPTIONAL.

Cons

Nothing comes to mind.

Great For Event Registrations!

Reviewed 5 years ago
Pros

I like that different unrelated events are all accessible on one site. If I register for a training with my job, a church event, and concert, all unrelated events, they all show up in one spot so that I can keep up with dates, registration, tickets, etc. I like when events offer Brushfire as a way to register. It makes it simple!

Cons

I do not have any dislikes for Brushfire. It has worked very well for me thus far.

Vendor response

Thank you for the review! As Karina said, we can handle all types of events.

Brushfire has the most helpful staff. We had an amazing experience using this software. We have used other software like eventbrite and we had SUCH a better experience with Brushfire. They are affordable, helpful, and the sotfware is great.

Pros

I've used Brushfire several times to manage large events with different moving dynamics.

Reviewed 7 years ago

This software has been invaluable in managing attendance and all aspects of our events. The major benefits have been reporting, tracking attendance and financials, sending communication to attendees, etc.

Pros

The versatility and functionality of the software are unparalleled in the event field! You can make it do almost anything that you want. I've managed volunteers, multiple breakout groups, lunches, everything pertaining to my event through Brushfire - AND it allows me to pull data and reports on all of those functions. I've never seen anything like it. The support team and customer service have always been so prompt and helpful that I literally can't complain.

Outstanding Technical Support

Reviewed 6 years ago
Pros

The team at Brushfire is incredibly responsive (and always has been). My organization has worked with them several times in the past, but recently my team needed some intense customization done for a project and the Brushfire team knocked it out of the park. We needed their help and they came through. Can't say enough about their development team or their company...you need Brushfire in your corner!

Cons

There is nothing to dislike. Read on, reader.

These folks are AMAZING!!!

Reviewed 3 years ago

Top notch! Our last ticket platform went bankrupt robbing us of nearly $10,000. We were so discouraged but we now regret not starting with Brushfire. A great company!!

Pros

From the onboarding demonstration with [SENSITIVE CONTENT] to the frequent contact with Brushfire's customer service reps [SENSITIVE CONTENT] were AWESOME! Customer service of this caliber is so uncommon these days. Brushfire sets a new standard for customer service!!

Cons

Nothing yet. Buying group tickets is a bit confusing but customer service reps were able to help us get through it.

Excellent product!

Reviewed 2 years ago

I have used Brushfire since 2021 and have never had an issue with the product. From set up to execution and even customer interface, Brushfire is an excellent value when it comes to event management software!

Pros

Brushfire's team of customer service representatives are so helpful and responsive. They help my team with ticketing and event registration. They have even helped with virtual attendance!

Cons

I would like more reporting options and to be able to pull certain groups with "if/thens" to email and contact for promo.

Vendor response

Kristin, we're so pleased that our customer support team was able to help! Thank you so much for the feedback regarding reporting. We'll definitely take a look at this, as we're continually innovating.

Streamlined registration process, easy access to information.

Pros

The program is easily adaptable and very user friendly, they really have thought of everything! The support team were very accessible and prompt with replies.

Cons

Having to use a payment gateway, it is an added cost and another step in the reconciliation process.

This was a ticketing system that is easy to use and very cost-efficient. We can set up an event very quickly.

Pros

The customer service at Brushfire is top notch. They answer your questions very quickly! Great people to work with!

Cons

Finding where information is located can be confusing at times. You can find what you need, but you have to sometimes keep clicking items until you get there.

Pros

Simple to use for selling tickets, reporting options are good. Learning curve is easy even for those who are not computer people.

Cons

The return/exchange interface is kind of clunky. It would also it seems like we used to be able to click multiple seats to add to cart rather then having to add them one at a time but made that is a set up issue and not a software issue.

Ease in ticket sales for our annual show

Pros

The site has a clear interface; we like the options of choose your own seats or best available; the site is easy to use; prompt and friendly customer service.

Cons

Tickets are held in the cart for up to 30 minutes. This may be convenient for some, but holds seats "hostage" that may not end up being purchased.

Worth it!

Reviewed 6 years ago

The customer service is what sets BF a part from other software programs. Our organization had lots of questions during the set-up/registration process. Each one of our questions was answered in a timely fashion. The customer service is the number one reason we chose BF!

Pros

We have the ability to edit tickets, issue refunds and change information. The best advantage of the software is that attendants have the capability to resend misplaced tickets, change names and forward tickets as gifts.

Cons

When we used the service we did not have the ability to utilize the app for registration. Recently, BF change things! We can now utilize the app for registration.

Brushfire Success During COVID 19

Reviewed 3 years ago

We only experienced a problem once during the 13 months we used Brushfire for registration.

Pros

Brushfire enabled our church to open in May 2020 when most churches were closed. The COVID-19 pandemic was just getting started and we were able to make reservations for the congregation members that still wanted to attend service in person. Great tool to use for events.

Cons

No problems except operator error at times. Anytime I had a problem [SENSITIVE CONTENT] was always an email away and fixed the problem within minutes. Always gave great customer service!!!
