The app and reader aim to offer a complete box office, at the door solution for event organizers. But the beauty of the new device is how it works with Eventbrite’s companion iPad app. The reader itself makes collecting spontaneous payments on the go fairly easy. The Eventbrite reports generated reflect all sales, online and offline. This provides arts managers with a complete picture of the ticket sales (or merchandise) purchased per event using the Eventbrite platform. The “At the Door Card Reader” allows managers and staff to collect the same information and data on the consumers as they are able to if the ticket purchase was made online. Now, not only can tickets be sold at the door through Eventbrite, but managers and event staff can collect payments. To complement its “At the Door” iPad Application, the company released in March an iPad credit card reader. The application runs on an iPad and acts as a mobile, digital, Eventbrite Box Office. For this reason, Eventbrite launched the iPad application in December, “At the Door,” available for free from the iTunes App Store. However, those who purchased their tickets onsite at the last minute were not able to purchase them through Eventbrite. Buyers would purchase their tickets online. Event managers would create an event page for, let’s say, a jewelry-making workshop or a local symphony concert. In the past, Eventbrite operated completely online. Eventbrite, an online event management company and ticketing platform, just recently released a new product to make selling tickets on-site easier for the consumer and event manager- an iPad credit card reader.
