Eventjoy (YC W14) makes its ticketing service free for organizers

by Y Combinator5/2/2014

Just a couple months after launching, mobile-focused event planning platform Eventjoy has decided to drop the fees from its ticketing service and pursue alternative monetization options instead. Coinciding with the pricing change, Eventjoy has also resigned its website.

Previously, the startup took a 2 percent cut + $0.99 per ticket for paid events.

Co-founder Todd Goldberg told TNW that Eventjoy’s goal is to always keep its core experience free while pursuing premium services, like event promotion and commerce, in order to monetize. The company is counting on the possibility that the power of mobile will open up new opportunities for organizers to make additional money.
