The Eventbrite gap at events
🎟️
Eventbrite handles tickets, not photos
Eventbrite is an excellent tool for selling tickets, managing RSVPs, and tracking attendance. But once your guests arrive at the event, Eventbrite offers no way for them to upload or share photos. There is no shared gallery, no QR upload flow, no photo slideshow, and no bulk export. PartyLab fills exactly that gap — one printed QR code at the venue lets every guest contribute photos to a single live gallery.
🔐
Every guest needs an Eventbrite account to interact
Eventbrite requires guests to create an account and use the Eventbrite app to access most features. For a casual birthday dinner, community fundraiser, or corporate offsite where guests are already making an effort to attend, adding an Eventbrite login step for photo sharing is unnecessary friction. PartyLab works in any mobile browser — guests scan the QR code and upload in seconds, no signup or download needed.
📸
No photo gallery, slideshow, or download tools
Even if you could upload photos to an Eventbrite event, there is no gallery view, no live slideshow for your venue TV, no digital guestbook with captions, no photo reactions, and no one-click ZIP download. These are the features that make photos genuinely useful after an event — for memory books, social media recaps, and sharing with absent family. PartyLab provides all of them out of the box.
Hosts who added PartyLab
★★★★★
“We use Eventbrite for our charity gala tickets every year but always struggled to collect photos from 200+ guests. PartyLab solved that completely — I printed the QR code on the table cards and had 340 photos in the gallery by midnight.”
Claire N.
Charity gala organizer
★★★★★
“Our company uses Eventbrite for the offsite registration. I added a PartyLab QR code to the welcome slide on the projector and within an hour we had 90 photos from the team activities. They worked perfectly together.”
James K.
People Ops manager
★★★★★
“I discovered PartyLab when I was looking for a way to collect photos from our community 5K run. We already had Eventbrite for registrations — PartyLab handled the photo gallery side and the runners loved seeing their finish-line shots appear live.”

Race organizer

Common questions
Can I use Eventbrite and PartyLab together?+
Yes — they complement each other perfectly. Use Eventbrite for ticket sales, RSVPs, and check-in. Use PartyLab for the photo collection and gallery during and after the event. Include the PartyLab guest link in your Eventbrite confirmation email so guests arrive ready to upload.
Does Eventbrite have any photo sharing features at all?+
Eventbrite allows event organizers to add photos to the event listing page for marketing purposes. But this is a one-way upload by the organizer — guests cannot contribute their own photos to a shared collection. PartyLab is built for the two-way collection flow: every guest uploads, and the host gets a single gallery with everyone’s photos.
How much does PartyLab cost per event?+
PartyLab offers Starter at $44.99 USD, Plus at $89.99 USD, Max at $179.99 USD per event. Each package is a one-time payment. There is no free upload tier or recurring event subscription. Starter: up to 100 guests, 2,000 uploads, and 25 GB storage. Plus: up to 500 guests, 10,000 uploads, and 100 GB storage. Max: no guest cap, 50,000 uploads, and 1 TB storage. Starter includes 3 months of upload and download access. Plus includes 1 year of upload and download access. Max includes 1 year of upload and download access. Download your files before access ends; downloaded copies are yours to keep.
What if my event doesn’t need ticketing — is PartyLab still useful?+
Absolutely. Most events that benefit from photo collection — birthday parties, weddings, family reunions — don’t need ticket sales at all. PartyLab works as a standalone tool: create an event, get a QR code, share the link with your guests, and collect all their photos in one gallery. No ticketing system required.
Every guest’s photos. One shared gallery.
