@andrew – I also think that the spam-approach is a bit too much here.
It is absolutely legaln in terms of the CAN-SPAM act to send offers
to customers that you have a business relation ship with. In this case
everyone that buys a ticket for an event. In case they also gather
not-yey-paying prospects they would need to ask for their consent.
I’m not sure what practices they follow exactly, but I think that calling
anything that is email related spam is a kind of hard

Attendio deserves a nod here. They were the first out of the gate with affiliate marketing for events.

We used both Acteva and Eventbrite. Acteva is expensive and no customization features, Eventbrite takes users to paypal for payment processing which is big turn-off to our attendees.

1.45% Eventbee fee is bargain compared to Acteva and Eventbrite, we will evaluate Eventbee to use in our future events.

@ Dillan & Tristan

To be fair, neither Eventbrite nor Socializr have partner networks for event listing campaigns. Eventbee’s Event Network Listing product is different and is why they got the post.

But, by all means, keep bringing the comment fire.

Yep Dillan. Looks like Ustream.tv has a blank check written to techcrunch as well, they mention it all the time for no real reason. Valleywag seems less influenced to me.

Andrew, that reads like you’re a paid shill. Compared to eventbrite, or even socializr you can write that article with a straight face? Don’t be afraid to dig in and fact check (active users?) and don’t let them blow smoke up your bum.

Bala,

Congratulations on the press. And of course, Ustream is delighted that one of its partners is doing well. Hopefully, live streaming can be part of the package that EventBee offers to event managers!

@adrew – thank you for Eventbee coverage

@dean – to get the code, all you have to do is agree to our partner terms and signup as a eventbee member…approval is automatic

@jono – control of the event page CSS/HTML templates are given to the event manager, so event manager can change every aspect of the event page…including font, background image, colors etc.

@jones n all – thank you for your good wishes

A little heavy on the spam comments. On a scale of 1-10 I’d give this intern a 6. Don’t try too hard buddy…we get your points.

FWIW, we have been doing much of this in a high value niche of the “events” world for over 7 years. Fully self funded and going strong.

Thanks, Avery.

@Troy – Do you see any free real estate?

Looks like Mike’s letting some of the interns out of his downstairs basement. Nice post, Andrew.

Can you slap their code on any old blog or do they have to approve you first?

Who in God’s name designed those user background images? Reminds me of a 1997 mom-and-pop HTML business page.

Decent idea though, could work.

“Eventbee keeps 29% of the total earnings partners make.”

How much does Google keep?

will we be seeing Eventbee event listings on TC’s side panel anytime soon? D:

I like to read self-funded companies. They are like heroes. This is what like about. I wish Eventbee luck and success.

I don’t like reading startup companies that take steroid money.
