When classic ticketing isn't enough for a selective event
Eventbrite is an excellent tool for selling tickets. But an event with selective admission doesn't sell tickets: it selects participants before asking them to pay. It's a difference in kind, not in price.
Two different needs
The choice doesn't depend on the quality of the tool, but on your event.
Classic ticketing (Eventbrite)
- Participants buy their ticket immediately
- First come, first served
- No decisions on role balance, couples or level
- The waitlist, where it exists, stays basic
Selective admission (Media Luna)
- Dancers register first, without paying
- You select according to your criteria
- Role balance, couples and quotas managed in real time
- Payment triggered after acceptance
Staying fair
If you sell straightforward tickets with no selection, a classic ticketing tool will do the job very well, often at a very low cost. No need to switch.
Media Luna takes over as soon as you need to make selection decisions, manage role balance and couples, run a serious waitlist and only take payment after approval. That's precisely what classic ticketing isn't built to handle.
