Eventbrite Alternative in New York

Overview

Eventbrite takes up to 9.9% + €0.99 per ticket from your revenue. On a €50 ticket, that's nearly €6 gone before you see a cent. On top of that, your event lives on their platform, your attendees become their audience, and your brand takes a back seat to theirs. RedStudio gives you a fully branded event ticketing system built into your own website. You sell directly to your audience, keep 100% of the ticket price (minus standard card processing), and own every customer relationship.

Local Insights

The New York Business Landscape

Business Environment

New York City's economy is the largest of any city in the world, with over 200,000 businesses competing across every sector imaginable. From Wall Street's financial institutions to Silicon Alley's tech startups, and from Madison Avenue's advertising agencies to Brooklyn's independent creative studios - the competition for online attention is unparalleled. NYC businesses that don't invest in their web presence are quickly overtaken by those that do.

Digital Market Insight

New York consumers are among the most demanding in the world - they expect polished, fast, mobile-optimised websites and will abandon slow-loading sites in seconds. The city's diverse population of 8.3 million speaks over 200 languages, making accessible and inclusive web design essential. With over 60 million tourists visiting annually, NYC businesses must also appeal to a global online audience.
