EZregister.com does seem to be the most efficient site around. The interface is very simple to use, and registration costs are the lowest I've seen. Plus, they have the online chat feature, which is helpful. I agree with Ryan. EZregister.com does seem to be the most efficient site around.

Also let me inform you that if you took an extra 5 or 10 minutes you would read that Event City (www.eventcity.net) is in Alpha Test and that many of our other properties are either in Alpha or Beta- still quite a way from our actual completed development of even our Phase One launch. Our strengths are many - we have a great "Human" infrastructure along with an incredible plan of action and contacts up the wazoo, but our greatest of all is our Partners many years of being in the "industries" we represent at the Event City Network. Chances are you have attended Events or seen Films or participated in projects or purchased tickets for something that one of us has been involved in over the course of the last 20 - 30 years. I challenge you to put up or shut up; contact us with your ideas and what you would do with our resources and you might be able to help a well conceived Start-up move their product to market more quickly. Practice being more positive after-all we are a new country now right?

What about the rest of the web site for your event? The guys at SomethingOn.com have a cool service for events. They offer more than just registration mangement and payment processing - they have full event web site content management. They have modeled all the objects common to large events like agendas, speakers, partners, menus, and so on. Early stage... check it out.

Not trying to be critical more just curious. The site states: "Since 2003, over 7000 Event Managers sold tickets using Eventbee Platform." So 7000 events is great - however under the new model that would be 7K and is that really worth getting out of bed for? For such a small amount perhaps being 100% free may be an easier sell? Interesting to see this space heat up - definitely an interesting market. Cheers - Eric Does anyone know why they are charging $1 – why not go 100% free? Not trying to be critical more just curious.
