Eventbrite is built for public events and ticketing. Club trips need car arrangements, emergency contacts, custom forms, and direct payments to your club — not a ticketing platform.
Eventbrite charges up to 7.9% + $0.99 per ticket, holds your funds, and is designed for public events with hundreds of attendees. Club trips are different — you have 10-30 people, need carpool coordination, emergency contact lists, and custom signup fields. TheClubTrip is built specifically for this use case, with lower fees and direct payouts.

Eventbrite is designed for events with hundreds of attendees. TheClubTrip is built for club trips with 10-30 people who need car arrangements and emergency contacts.
Participants can sign up with just a link — no Eventbrite account needed. Lower friction means more signups.
Car arrangements, emergency contact collection, custom questions, leader checklists — features a ticketing platform doesn't offer.
Use Eventbrite for large public events (50+ attendees) where you need ticketing, QR codes, and event discovery. Use TheClubTrip for club trips (10-30 people) where you need signups, payments, car arrangements, and emergency contacts.
You connect your club's Stripe account (free to set up). When participants sign up and pay, funds go directly to your bank account. We charge 4% platform fee plus standard Stripe processing fees.
TheClubTrip is optimized for club trips with known groups, but anyone with the link can sign up. It's not designed for event discovery or large-scale public ticketing.
Everything is free. We only charge when you collect payments — a 4% platform fee on each transaction. No monthly subscription, no per-event fees.
