"Holding an event? Here is the solution"

5/5

What do you like best about Brown Paper Tickets?

Super easy service with no fees to sell tickets unlike a number of other services that charge a huge premium cutting into your profits. The fee that buyers pay is 1/10 of what they would have to pay on other sites that often have fees adding up to around half the cost of the ticket. The process is so simple and easy and they accept credit cards too! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brown Paper Tickets?

The site is not very aesthetically pleasing and looks a little bit outdated with the bright orange. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Brown Paper Tickets:

You can't go wrong. Take a break from the huge corporate giants and try a company that has you as their focus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Brown Paper Tickets solving and how is that benefiting you?

It simplifies the whole process taking it from a complicated headache to a simple solution with a few clicks of a button. Their customer service is honestly incredible and just a phonecall away any time you need them. This level of support is unparalleled within the market. I trust them to handle my information securely and they always deliver. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good Website for Event Ticketing"

4/5

What do you like best about Brown Paper Tickets?

This is one of the easiest and most straight forward websites that I have ever used. I have used this for countless events that I have attended and would highly recommend using this if planning a smaller event. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brown Paper Tickets?

My primary dislike of this website is the fact that they charge a processing fee and I was looking forward to being able to not worry about that after the Ticketmaster lawsuit that ended in vouchers being given to customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Brown Paper Tickets:

I would highly recommend using this for any event especially local concerts and festivals as it is super easy to use and I have enjoyed it thoroughly as a customer! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Brown Paper Tickets solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am not solving my own business problems with Brown Paper Tickets but have found it very useful with local companies and festivals that have used it and I find it extremely easy to use every time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple, cost-effective ticketing solution"

5/5

What do you like best about Brown Paper Tickets?

What's not to like? They handle online sales for you. They handle printed tickets for you. They will send you super cheap printed tickets for you to sell yourself. Everything about the service and site is easy to use, and their customer service is top notch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brown Paper Tickets?

If I had a gripe, it would be at the surcharge. But the ticket buyer pays that, and I can adjust prices to make sure I'm hitting the price point I need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Brown Paper Tickets:

Give yourself enough time to receive tickets in the mail. If you're doing something last minute, use a local print shop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Brown Paper Tickets solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ticketing is not super complicated, but cash handling can be. WIth too many hands in the pot, you're just asking for something to go wrong. This online ticketing solution creates an internal control that simplifies issues come audit time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The best for Physical Tickets!"

5/5

What do you like best about Brown Paper Tickets?

Customer Service is hands down amazing!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brown Paper Tickets?

The price is a little high, especially compared to other non-profit ticket sellers, but it's because they mail out within 48 hours customizable tickets to each purchaser. So far the only reasonably priced non-profit focused ticketing solution I've found who does that and it's an absolute must for our event. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Brown Paper Tickets solving and how is that benefiting you?

Always reliable to me ad my customers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great system"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Brown Paper Tickets?

Brown paper tickets made it easy for our small business to sell tickets to an event we were sponsoring online. It was our first time selling tickets online and it was very successful! We were able to print out a list of folks that purchased online. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Brown Paper Tickets?

The only problem we encountered was the small service fee associated with purchasing tickets online. Some of our customers wanted to purchase in person because of the service fee which meant we had to have 2 lists of people who had purchased tickets Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Brown Paper Tickets solving and how is that benefiting you?

Starting to sell tickets online!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
