Best Eventbrite Alternatives
The best alternatives to Eventbrite for charity golf tournaments.
Eventbrite sells tickets well, but for a charity golf tournament that's step one: pairings, live scoring, the silent auction, sponsors, and the fundraising report all live outside it, and service fees apply per paid ticket. Redswing is the strongest Eventbrite alternative for charity golf — the whole event in one platform, free to set up.
Why organizers look for a Eventbrite alternative
- Registration is all you get: no pairings or flights, no live scoring or leaderboard, no silent auction, no sponsor package management, no fundraising report.
- Service fees are charged per paid ticket, which adds up on higher-priced golf registrations; fundraising categories like donations and sponsorships aren't first-class concepts.
- A charity tournament isn't a discovery event — most fields fill through the organization's own network, so Eventbrite's marketplace advantage rarely applies.
Our top pick: Redswing
Redswing is our top pick for charity golf events that outgrew ticketing. Registration with add-ons and cover-the-fee, flight pairings, no-app live scoring with a clubhouse leaderboard, a text-to-bid silent auction, sponsor tiers with self-serve payment, 0% on direct donations, and an AI post-event board report — with no per-ticket fee.
Other options to consider
Zeffy
Free ticketing and donation forms for registered nonprofits (donor-tip funded) — a good Eventbrite swap if you only need registration, though it has no golf tools either.
EventCaddy
Golf-event ticketing and websites with per-event pricing; auction and fundraising tooling are lighter.

Eventbrite alternatives — FAQ
What is a good Eventbrite alternative for a charity golf tournament?
Redswing. Eventbrite covers ticket sales only, while a golf fundraiser also needs pairings, live scoring, a silent auction, sponsor packages, and a post-event report. Redswing includes all of it, is free to set up, and charges no per-ticket service fee — 3% of registration, 5% of auction and sponsors, 0% on donations.
Are Eventbrite fees higher than Redswing's for a golf event?
They're structured differently. Eventbrite charges service fees per paid ticket (which you can pass to attendees). Redswing charges a percentage of revenue with no flat per-ticket fee, and registrants can cover it at checkout — about 85% do. On a typical $150–$200 golf registration, compare the all-in cost both ways for your field size.
Can Eventbrite run a silent auction?
No. Eventbrite is a ticketing platform and does not include auction bidding, sponsor management, or golf scoring. Redswing includes a native text-to-bid silent auction with automated outbid alerts and one-click settlement.
