We needed an online system to take hundreds of solo,duet, trio dance registrations for a video dance contest as well as to process ticket sales for the live event. We needed it to have low fees (or zero) as well as the ability to pass on fees to the customer. Eventzilla did all of this easily! From customizing the registration forms to processing refunds and exporting reports - it was a breeze!
Everything! Very user friendly interface, all of the basic features anyone would need and the price is right!
It would have been nice to be able to completely customize the ticket/reg main page a bit more.

Overall positive experience.
The platform is very intuitive and easy to use. Setting up events is quick and straightforward. Events are customizable, which is nice as we hold many kinds of events (in-person, online, etc.). We've been very happy with it - it's helped our small team manage events without complication or hassle.
We've only had one issue where the Facebook link was not working correctly, but the customer service team helped me rectify the problem quickly. It would be nice to add a speaker or company's LinkedIn or Instagram profiles in addition to Twitter and Facebook.

Customer service is poor. They ignore your emails and requests.
I like that this program is somewhat easy to use. There are a lot of features. I especially like that you can clone an event rather than re-writing the entire thing for repeat eevnts
too many glitches. sometimes, I'm not able to type in the boxes and need to sign out in order for me to re-start. Sometimes, I'm not able to publish my drafts, or they publish and then unpublish themselves. My account has been suspended. Granted, they fixed it but they ignored my multiple emails asking why my account was suspended in the first place. I pay for this program and do not appreciate that you cannot get in contact with customer service on the phone.

I like that our free events do not cost us anything to register our attendess. Multiple currencies for our paid events are definitely a benefit to our global business. Customer service - always quick to reply
I would like to drag and drop the order of my sponsors instead of having to re-input them to reflect their order of importance.

Eventzilla is easy to learn and navigate. It makes managing RSVP lists for events easy and allows customization depending on registration process. The event pages created are clean and neat and user friendly for attendees that are registering for the event.
There are some limitations if you need to create a detailed (multiple choice) registration page. Sometimes the font format can be difficult to format under Event Information. Would like if you could customize event page with more options.

I can send out weekly class events with this product and it tracks registration, confirmation, and final head count for the class.
It tracks the number of people who register for our classes we offer. We love the ability to "Clone" repeated events so we don't have to type in repeated information.
Any event that requires online payment was a little difficult to set up because it goes through a third party site.

Throughout the year we host several training seminars for our customers. Eventzilla is a great tool that allows us to keep our customers informed on upcoming events. The ability to track attendance is great for planning these events.
Have yet to come across any major issues worth commenting on. The navigation once in an event is kind of busy, but nothing too major.

If you're running free or mid-to-high cost events, Eventzilla is perfect. If you're running low-cost events, their cut may prove to be too much.
There are a LOT of event managements systems out there. But none quite as affordable as Eventzilla. If your event is free? Eventzilla is free. After that, they only charge a dollar per attendee if you have a paid event. Point is, it's ridiculously well-priced. You just can't beat it.
If your event doesn't cost very much per person, a dollar is a huge cut. Also, searching through multiple events' registrations could be way easier than it is. They make it a bit complicated to find specific registrations.

Fast, intuitive setup; great support from CHAT; lot of great features... so far, so good!
I was looking for software that would support multiple events (workshops and webinars) and allow me to manage complex registrations (several promo codes) as well as send reminders to attendees without me having to remember. This system solved that. I got up and running within a couple of hours setting up 4 events. Had a few questions but CHAT support addressed them the next day. So, it supports complex needs yet is fairly intuitive to use.
Like anything, I'd like to get the "biggest bang" for my buck. It is less expensive per ticket sold than Eventbrite but since I am just starting, have yet to see how it is "in action". At a certain point, I'd prefer to pay by subscription rather than per ticket if sales increase.

Eventzilla has made registering individuals for events simple and convenient. It has helped us keep costs down while having a professional presence on the web for our event.
I love that on a limited budget I can have a professional presence on the web to register individuals for events. With free events/meetings we can keep our costs down. If the attendance is beyond the free plan, we can pass along the fees to the registrant means we can keep our costs down for using the service.
Overall, there isn't anything not to like about this service. It has simplified life for us when setting up events and meetings.

I used Eventzilla for a 20 year Nursing School reunion. I am not a professional party planner, just a mere mortal with limited computer skills and a desire to see long-lost friends. This website was perfect for us! Attendees could easily pay with a credit card. You then have to set up an account with PayPal (or similar) to have the money deposited into that account. The Eventzilla fee was a dollar...

I found Eventzilla after trying its main competitor - and seeing how expensive they were! Now, I am hooked.
So easy to use, cost is significantly less than the main competition, a great option for your organizing your events!
Nothing comes to mind - it has everything you need in an event platform.

I use it to put together a luncheon at a trade show for 100+ people, twice a year. It works well enough, and seems to get good uptake. I'd like to have more design options and have the app auto-save my work. Creating a mobile app option would add value and make the platform stand out from competitors like Eventbrite, Eventbee and Cvent.
free access, seems to be working to improve each time I use it. Moving in the right direction. I also like the security feature built into the UX, where I'm prompted to create a password for registrants. Allows me to get creative w/o making it too difficult.
Many event-centric elements aren't even hinted at as on offer. It'd be a good way to monetize it better, to 'ghost' features like planning checklists, contact lists, design templates, and other key event organizing points. Having a wizard/AI would be amazing, since there are many types of events.

This software is excellent for our purpose. Easy to edit, delete, clone, do attendance. The mobile app is excellent. I have had no changes that I could not figure out. It is very user friendly!
It is so easy to modify and add to! When I have to delete and re-enter due to a typo, it is very simple to edit. Very user-friendly! Love the mobile app. It is so handy when doing attendance. I really like all of it.

We used the software for about 1 year, as a registration method for a large convention. Overall, the software works well, but there are some flaws, especially with payment methods offered.
Ease of tracking total numbers of registrants. The ability to download as an excel file at the end, to manipulate into the sign-in sheets that worked best for us.
The payment methods offered were limited, and not customizable. Also, PayPal was the "online payment method", but PayPal has serious issues with anyone trying to use their cell phone to pay (instead of a laptop/pc). Also, if someone needed a registration modified (name changes, email changes, etc.) it was extremely time consuming and frustrating to do.

Definitely useful to help organize your next event.
Super user friendly and you are able to track all components of your event in one app. Plus, having the convenience of paying through the software for your event tickets is helpful.
I think better integration with social media.

Ease of managing registration and I love that it's free. We are a non-profit so it's so appreciated that you keep the basic free!
I was hesitant to try a registration management site I had not heard of before, but I went ahead and did it. I've been very impressed in how great it works! It's pretty easy to use and if you can't find something, you can search the Q&A section. I've been using it a little over a year now for various events for our non-profit and I love the fact they keep the costs low, and even free for the general system. We will continue to use and promote Eventzilla whenever possible!
Honestly, I can't think of any. I've noticed it has a tendency to remove my cover photo at times and rearrange my custom questions. But those are just little quirks that are easy to work around. Just double check everything before publishing the event!

We love it, it has saved so much time and looks so much better than any product we have used in the past.
The ease of the functions and the layout takes less time to set up, organize, and download reports. Registrations are easy to complete and our customers are increasing. A simple well organized platform has yielded higher profits for use and less abandoned registrations.
A would like to see the ability to upload a custom certificate as opposed to the 2 options available.

1. Event Registration process is very easy, convenient and user friendly & does not require many days for getting your events live. 2. Payment Withdrawal Methods are amazing unlike others where you have to wait for completion of event. 3. The best part is we can self apply for refund, no need to involve in time-wasting processes of calling customer care executives & all. 4. If we have a good budget then we can also use their marketing strategies where they will promote our events and help us in making our event successfull. 5. Group Discounts is the most amazing feature, although i haven't taken any group discount benefit as my friends have different taste but I think people can use this amazingly.
1. Features in basic plan should be increased. 2. All Everything is perfectly FINE. Keep it up Guys!

It has been good so far with a few frustrations of not understanding the ticket setup. Customer service has been pretty responsive.
I liked that it was easy to setup a new event. The step by step process explains most of what is needed, especially for simple events.
The reporting is not the best and trying to have different ticket options in terms of limiting amount of tickets sold per timesolt. It is not so easy to set up.

I obviously really like Eventzilla, as I switched to using them in 2014 and have stuck with them. Getting a custom URL, getting money deposited weekly (and not at the end of my event like other sites), and a slew of other features make it a really great choice.
I love the functionality vs. price. I have been using Eventzilla for several years now and they are always improving the functionality, yet the price to the consumer is always low compared to other ticketing sites.
I think some menus could be streamlined and easier to find/navigate, but it's a very small complaint and not a huge deal.

I've used Eventzilla for several years and will continue to use for events that are free.
I like that I can customize the the registration link with the event name in it. I like that you are able to create more than one ticket type.
I didn't like all the information requested if you're having an event where fees are collected. Most sites just send you the payout to whatever address you select. Eventzilla wanted bank information for the company which I was unable to provide.

We love that Eventzilla allows you to make your own questions as part of registration in order to correctly collect all of the data needed to ensure we are set up. Highly recommended!
I love that Eventzilla is a trusted site that has been around for 9 years. It offers setting up the event, sending invites, collecting payments, as well as tracks attendance to give you great data.
We had a glitch a few years ago with the ticket posting, but it was corrected. Very few errors, great product. Well worth it!

Cost is better than other services I’ve looked at. Pretty easy to use and I’m able to input all the information and forms I require for registration.
No app. Although possible through the website, it would be nice to have an app to make check in easier when out of service areas.
Thanks Ross for sharing your feedback. We do have an app for both iPhone and Android users to track registrations in real-time and check-in attendees by scanning the QR code on tickets.
