Why Organizers Switch from Eventbrite to Vihaya Events

Save 100% of fees

Eventbrite's 3.7% + ₹10 adds ₹47 to a ₹1,000 ticket and ₹185 to a ₹5,000 ticket. Across 1,000 tickets you keep an extra ₹47K–₹185K. Vihaya keeps that money in your pocket.

India-first payments

UPI is the dominant payment rail in India. Vihaya Events checks out one-tap on any UPI app via Razorpay. Eventbrite's flow is global-first and adds friction for Indian buyers.

AI tools that actually save time

Vihaya's AI form builder generates registration fields from your event description. AI website builder creates a branded landing page in under a minute. Eventbrite has neither.

Faster payouts

Vihaya settles to your bank within T+2 working days via Razorpay. Eventbrite pays out in 4–5 business days, sometimes longer for new accounts.
