The platform we always wished existed
Eventrise was built by event organizers, for event organizers, after 15 years of wrestling with every other platform on the market. This is the story of why we exist, and what we're building for the people behind the events.
We
built
Eventrise
out
of
frustration.
We
were
crushed
by
fees,
delays,
and
rigid
tools
every
time
we
tried
to
run
an
event.
So
we
built
the
alternative
we
wished
existed:
fair
flat
pricing,
fast payouts,
intuitive
tools,
and
real
human
support.
For
the
people
behind
the
events.
Like
us.
Built for you
One event a year or 200 shows. 50 attendees or 5,000. Conference, comedy club, festival, or theater… you deserve tools that work with you, not against you. Eventrise is fair pricing, fast payouts, and real human support, built for whatever you're running.
Our Values
Our values aren't marketing copy, they're how we work
Fair pricing on principle
We charge one flat 5% fee, published and the same for everyone. No stacked service fees, no tiers to unlock the tools you need, nothing buried in your attendees' carts. We're a bootstrapped team, so we feel every budget decision too. Keeping our pricing honest means more of every dollar goes where it belongs: to performers, staff, marketing, and the experiences that fill the room.

Humans, not chatbot mazes
We're thoughtful, empathetic humans working with other humans. Every interaction reflects genuine care, because we know this work can feel overwhelming. You deserve real support, not corporate speak or chatbot mazes.

We've been here ourselves
Eventrise was built by event organizers, for event organizers. After 15 years producing Creative South and wrestling with every major ticketing platform, we built the alternative we wished existed. The venue side of the table has its own pain points: different show formats, different settlements, different operational rhythms. We're working closely with venue operators to make Eventrise serve them just as well. Different audience, same principle: build the alternative we'd want to use.

Independent. No exit play.
We're not building for investors or an exit. We're building for the people behind the events, with your input shaping every decision. Your feedback drives our roadmap because the best features come from real problems, not boardroom assumptions.

2010–2024: Living the problem
For 15 years, we produced Creative South, growing it from 100 to 500 attendees and wrestling with every major event platform along the way. We lived the crushing fees, rigid tools, and delayed payouts that make running events harder than it should be.
2025: Building the solution
We poured 15 years of experience into building Eventrise: the platform we always wished existed. Fair, flat fees. Fast payouts. Intuitive dashboards and real-time insights, built for the people running events.
Today: Building for venues, too
The next chapter of Eventrise brought visual seat maps, multi-show operations, and the venue-specific features venue operators told us they needed. Same principle as before, applied to a new audience: build the alternative we'd want to use, for the independent venues running comedy clubs, theaters, and live music spaces. Different side of the table, same fight.
