TikTok, the globally popular social media platform, has partnered with Eventbrite, a leading events marketplace, to offer event creators a powerful new way to promote their events and sell tickets. This collaboration aims to enhance the experience of both event creators and attendees by seamlessly integrating event promotion into the TikTok ecosystem.
Empowering Event Creators
Adding Eventbrite Links to TikTok Videos
With this new partnership, any Eventbrite creator or TikTok user can now add Eventbrite links directly to their TikTok videos. This feature enables the TikTok community to discover event details and purchase tickets without leaving the app. By integrating Eventbrite links, TikTok users can easily become event creators, hosting their events on Eventbrite and promoting them directly to the TikTok audience.
Targeting TikTok’s Diverse Communities
This partnership provides an excellent opportunity for users to share events with fan communities such as #BookTok, #NewMusic, or #FoodTok, introducing them to real-life experiences that align with their passions. By leveraging TikTok’s vast and diverse user base, event creators can reach specific interest groups and enhance event visibility.
Benefits for Local and Independent Event Creators
Growing Presence and Bringing People Together
Local and independent event creators will significantly benefit from this tool, as it offers a platform to grow their presence and attract more attendees. By adding Eventbrite links to their TikTok videos, even smaller events can gain significant exposure. This fosters a thriving and inclusive community, contributing to a more diverse and vibrant event landscape.
Simplified Event Promotion and Ticket Sales
The ease of adding Eventbrite links to TikTok videos allows event creators to promote multiple events simultaneously. Users will be shown the most relevant events based on their location, enhancing the likelihood of attendance. Additionally, the in-app browser on TikTok facilitates faster ticket sales with just a few clicks.
