WhereU vs Eventbrite
One is a ticket store. WhereU is where the night starts.
Ticketing sites are optimised for buying a ticket you already decided on. WhereU is optimised for the moment before that — seeing what is happening around you and deciding with your friends.
Why WhereU is different
We combine discovery, live friend locations, and ticketing on one map. Hosts get direct payouts with lower platform fees.
| Feature | WhereU | Eventbrite |
|---|---|---|
| Map-first discovery | ✓ | — |
| Live friend locations | ✓ | — |
| Free and paid events | ✓ | ✓ |
| Direct host payouts | ✓ | ✓ |
| Lower platform fees | ✓ | — |
| Ticket codes + QR scan-in | ✓ | ✓ |
| Stranger Dinners / social matching | ✓ | — |
Best for
Hosts who want lower fees and discovery baked in. Guests who want to see events on a map, next to their friends.
