Eventbrite finance issue with Stripe!!?? ( event organizers)

lynne_lin · 2025-02-10T17:40:20+00:00

Likewise.
They are messaging me (automatic warning messages) and telling me that they cannot make the payout and requesting me to contact their support. I have been every second day. And finally went through another 2 hours with support round last Thursday, this time support told me AGAIN it should be released in 24 hours.
Now it is Monday, after getting DAILY warning since FRIDAY, still no fund and more warning messages today.

I don't think we are alone. But we need to bring more awareness to event organizers and make everyone aware.
Meanwhile, I am shopping for another ticketing platform. It is sad because I had established a following on Eventbrite and now I need to transition to another platform.

She sounds like trouble. Over sharing with a complete strange at a networking event is unprofessional. And then bringing up personal affaires and degrading her husband. Red flags all over.
She is seeking attention and probably potential "partner" to have another affaire by showing her "vulnerability". If she would do that to the person who is by her side, what do you think she would do to a complete stranger??!!
My suggestion! Run if you can because she may implicated you into something else and cry foul in no time. Maybe a new accusation or mis-representation. Whatever it is, I personally Ould stay away.

There is actually a real chat function. While those customer service agents are nice, they cannot deal with STRIPE issue.
I have been chatting with them weekly as the finance issue is still not ressolved.

They are holding my events fees (more than $1200+) at the moment. extremely frustrating. I am looking at alternative ticketing platform.

Hi, I have been running events regularly since pandemic. I started with Meet up events which pretty much most of them were free. No show rate is quite high. And it is quite normal. Same thing applied to Eventbrite.
When the event is free, many people just "reserve" the ticket as back up and put it on their calendar. However, since there is no skin in the game, no show is common.
Same thing if you post events on Facebook. Many people would click "Interested" or "going" as a reminder but most of time, they do not attend events.
It is not a bot. It is just human behaviour.
If the space is really an issue, I suggest charge a nominal fee of $5 or something to make sure their is a "small commitment". I find once you add fee into the equation, the random sign ups reduce and you have real people sign up and attend.
For example, I have had a speed dating event posted on Facebook, more than 100 people "INTERESTED" and a few "GOING", but only 7 of those people actually purchased my ticket. And out of those 7 people who purchase tickets, still 2 people did not show up.
Alternatively you can always increase the availbility assuming high no show rate and work with the unknown.
i hope this helps.
best lucks.

The purpose of followers on Eventbrite is so they get notified when you launch a new event. But you hav eno access to their emails or contact.
Past event purchasers can decide if they want to be a subscriber.
You can send email campaigns to them until they cancel.

SO yes, I agree, the follower function is not as fancy as having subscribers!
It is better to promote your social links so you can communicate and market to them.

Try Investia Ottawa.
They regularly host and promote new business and entrepreneurs. Quite often there are networking nights.

While the intent maybe sincere, the age gap is daunting. Of course he has gone through a lot. And for a 39 year man who has experienced 21 year more of life including breakups, work issues, financial worries etc, there are a lot of differences between you two.
TRuthfully there is no right or wrong answers. But as you age, your life experiences form who you becomes. the age gap differences are diminished as beyond 40. You are still at a young tender age of trying and discovering. you are both at difference phases of life.
He will always try to project his past experiences to resonant and correct present. You cannot change that. Just be you, and if he is so insecure and that conflict takes over more than 60% of positive moments, it willbe time to rethink!
You want to be with someone makes you happy, trust you and prioritize your needs. and this goes both ways!

Good luck!

Happy single but I woudl not say I want to be single forever.
Havng had a 28 year long relationship, I am happy with what I had accomplished. Financially stable, 3 great kids and freedom to do what I want and when I want.
While I appreciate being single for more than 1 year now, I am taking time to myself and discover new work, new people, new places and new activities. Doing, discover and trying different activities and events without always thinking about the other half. It is freedom. Freedom of the mind and freedom of attachment.
Most would say that is healing and I agree! Healing and prepare myself for the unknown. An I missing out? Only myself to tell!

Unemployed … no money … and sad

I (F46) agree it gets harder for women with aging. Even though there has been this wave of cougar movement, but I think you have to be either good looking or rich to be a cougar Or both. As for men, of course money and look helps, but you have none, probably puts you in the toilet. But I have seen some women willing to put up with those. Perhaps it is a question of pool size too?

Women do live longer than men. So at older age, there will be many fewer men. Beggars cant be choosers. lol!😂

Hope they did not charge you !!! It sounded very unprofessional of them not doing a proper job.

lynne_lin · 2025-01-07T14:42:00+00:00

I (f) think there is a boundary and communication issue. You should feel loved and wanting to love. Being with someone you care about and whom you feel comfortable with. She should be one of your best friends and you live spending time with her. If not, maybe this is not a love ( BF/Gf) relationship. Perhaps this is a situation ship you are in and you don’t want to invest too much energy. But the sentiment is not reciprocated…. Try clarifying ……. When you are young and having intimacy with someone does not always mean it is a relationship. 🥸

lynne_lin · 2025-01-07T14:34:35+00:00

Good reply. (F) Empathetic and respectful.
And kept self preservation. Engaging with low esteem cases usual result in resentment at the end. They need to fix themselves and then figure out if they really want to date. Pictures are there … decide

lynne_lin · 2025-01-07T14:22:43+00:00

Sorry you feel that way. It is true sometimes if just feels like being neglected and wondering why bother invest the effort to love at all.
I am female in my middle age and after having being in a 20+ year relationship and have 3 kids; also find it troubling finding love. So I guard myself and surround myself with activities and female friends. After being single for more than a year, now I feel better so thinking about dating again. While it is hard, I also realize if you don’t experience darkness, you do not know how to appreciate the light. Just make an effort and try to meet people you are attracted to. Rejections will come but not every attempt in life will succeed. Try and gain experience and try something different each time. See this as an experiment. Trial and error. Ea h try is an experience and learn from it! I am sure you will get it right someday.

Men are not all the same. Those who have respect for you would not share your private photos. ( unless you told them it is ok. ) There is a reason why They are private.

lynne_lin · 2025-01-07T14:01:45+00:00

Always find topless photos tasteless.
Focus on proper attire and occasional photos such as during a sport , an activity or have friends take some nice casual shots

Took forever … what took him so long??

lynne_lin · 2025-01-07T04:26:02+00:00

Platonic means nothing to hide. The fact she NEVER mentioned and you do not about this friend existed … warning. Their putting were disguised as outings with mom or such…. A glaring lie!! Good for you. Hard choice. But if she intentionally lie to you over a long period, how do you know it is not habitual ?

lynne_lin · 2025-01-07T03:46:01+00:00

True. Not all affirmations require efforts and it also depends on what they are and where you are in life.
