There is an existing norm among people who create virtual events, wherein they choose one platform to host the event and another platform on which they sell the tickets for the same event.

As an event organizer, it is beneficial to simplify a user’s journey as they choose to sign up for an event. For this reason, event organizers should prefer to opt for a virtual event platform that provides the necessary tools and features to make their online event successful, viz. managing attendee registrations, offering ticketing services, assisting with event promotion, and more. 

The internet is brimming with platforms that allow you to host ticketed events, with each marketing itself to be better than others. Choosing the right virtual event software has to be your priority if you want to make your virtual event a success.

While experiences of a physical, in-person event are hard to replicate; you need to make sure that the platform you select allows your audience to obtain an experience almost identical to that of an in-person event. Therefore as an event organizer, you have to think of the platform as the event venue.

You need to look into factors like security, the number of participants that can be hosted, the ticketing system, the duration and bandwidth of the livestream, and most importantly, the price point of the platform.

While Zoom has established itself to be one of the most popular virtual event softwares, there are quite a few alternatives in the market that you can choose based on your budget and the features you require.

Here is a list of some alternate virtual event platforms that you can try out for your next ticketed virtual event –
