Overall, the company sold 58 million tickets, generating $960 million, up from $600 million in 2012.These sales were from across 2.9 million events, held in 187 different countries around the world. 2013 was also a good year for Eventbrite’s app downloads too, which saw a total of 2.3 million over 12 months. Clearly, the service is still growing its user base successfully, as 2012 saw a total of 1.8 million downloads.

As well as seeing increasing numbers of events using the service, tickets being sold and a growing number of app downloads, the Eventbrite team itself evolved over the course of 2013, going from 211 Britelings to a total of 329.
