100% free for event creators.

Sell

Put tickets on sale everywhere

Online ahead of time, in person at the door, and comp tickets when you need them.

Custom creator page & links

Every event creator gets a custom public page on Nrby Events — your brand, your events, your links, all in one place. Attendees can see everything you have coming up, browse your past event history, and follow you everywhere you are online.

  • All your upcoming events in one place
  • Your complete past event history
  • Unlimited custom links to anywhere you want
  • Easy quick links to all your social accounts

Run the door

Event night, under control

Live tools for the busiest hour of your event.

Real-time door scanning & ticket chain of custody

Scan tickets at the door and track check-ins as they happen in real time. Every ticket carries a chain of custody — each hand-off is tracked, so you always know a ticket's full story.

  • Real-time QR code scanning at the door
  • Every ticket scan is tracked and all ticket records are saved
  • A full chain of custody for every ticket
  • Live scanned-in status as guests arrive

Guest list custom management & real-time tracking

Build custom guest lists your way and track arrivals the moment they happen. No paper printouts, no hard-to-understand shared Notes app, no guessing who's inside. All check-ins are updated live no matter how many people in the party have shown up.

  • Custom guest lists, built to fit your event
  • Update the guest list live and all door people instantly have the current list
  • Walk-in guest list functionality for after the event has started
  • Real-time check-in tracking to see guest status
  • Always know who has arrived — LIVE

Get paid

Know your numbers, get your money

See what's selling, then get paid without the mystery.

Advanced sales analytics & reporting

Watch sales as they happen in real time, not in the next day's spreadsheet. Nrby surfaces predictions and trends alongside live numbers, so you can react and make changes while it still counts.

  • Live sales numbers as they happen
  • Sales predictions built in
  • Trends surfaced as they develop
  • Reporting when you need the details
  • Custom reports for customers, marketing links, guest lists, and all events

Fast, transparent creator payouts

You did the work and your event was a success — so getting paid shouldn't be the slow part. Payouts are quick, with every statement clear and itemized, so you know exactly what you earned. Once the event has completed, payout is initiated ASAP. Early payouts are also available to approved Event Creators.

  • Quick payouts
  • Clear, itemized statements
  • Transparent from sale to payout
