What is Eventbrite?
Eventbrite is a ticketing platform for public events. Each event has ticket types, a sale status, sometimes a waitlist, and check-in stats once the doors open. The organizer dashboard is built for selling and scanning, not for showing the program on a screen at the venue itself. That's the gap this page is about.
How gibeon.io connects
You connect your Eventbrite organizer account once via OAuth. Gibeon pulls event details, session times, ticket types and sold-out flags read-only, then renders them as a screen layout: title, next session, room, ticket status. By default it syncs every 15 minutes, and you can force a refresh from the dashboard when a session moves or sells out. If you run a series, Gibeon can rotate per event or switch programs per day automatically.
A few other ways to get Eventbrite onto a screen, with the honest trade-offs:
Open the public event page, cast the tab. Works for one screen for one afternoon. The laptop has to stay on, the tab can't go to sleep, and you're casting the buyer view with the big green Register button, not a clean program overview.
Set Chrome to fullscreen on the event page and autostart on boot. Cheap and it survives a reboot. But you're still showing the public sales page, you can't combine multiple events into one program, and updating four screens means four keyboards.
Copy the session list into Slides every morning, cast Slides to the TVs. Total control over the look. Also total manual work, and the moment a session sells out or moves room, your slide is wrong until someone notices.
Connect Eventbrite once, pick the event or series, pick a layout. Think of a conference organizer who wants the program overview on four screens through the building, with the next three sessions and their rooms pulled straight from Eventbrite. That's the default setup, not a custom build. Free tier gives you 3 screens permanently with 1 integration, so you can test the full flow before paying anything. Starter is €39/month for 5 screens at 1080p with the watermark off.
Frequently asked questions
What happens to the screen if our venue wifi drops mid-event?
The last synced program stays on screen. Gibeon caches the layout on the device, so a network hiccup doesn't turn the TV black. Once the connection is back, the next sync (default every 15 minutes) catches up.
Can it show the QR code for check-in next to the remaining ticket count?
Yes. A meetup host can put the check-in QR on the entrance TV alongside the remaining-tickets number for the afterparty, in one layout. The ticket count refreshes on the sync interval, the QR is static per event.
We have several events per week in the same venue. Does it switch automatically?
Yes. Point Gibeon at your organizer account, and it picks the event scheduled for that day. No one has to log in on a Monday morning to change what's on the lobby screen.
What if a session is sold-out or moved to a different room?
The sold-out flag and room change come through the API on the next sync. You can also hit force-refresh from the Gibeon dashboard if you need it on screen within seconds.
Do we need special hardware?
No. It runs on a Smart TV with Google TV, a Xiaomi TV Stick, a browser-PC, or an iiyama signage screen. Whatever's already mounted on the wall is usually fine.
Can multiple people from the team manage what's on screen?
Yes, you invite teammates into the Gibeon workspace. The Eventbrite connection itself stays linked to one organizer account.
Does Gibeon write back to Eventbrite, like cancel a ticket type?
No. The connection is read-only. We only pull event, session, ticket type and check-in data to display it. Nothing in your Eventbrite gets changed from our side.
Connect Eventbrite, pick an event, see it on the TV in about ten minutes.
