Targeting the right audience for your events is a science. Take music fans as an example: The audience for a punk concert can differ from the audience for an opera festival from the audience for a metal bash. And a Billie Eilish fan may or may not be interested in Paramore. 

Every event marketing plan is built around the audience. The people you want to attend your events are the people you’re targeting with everything from your email campaigns to your contests.

So how do you crack the code on who to target to sell more tickets to your events? 

Developing a strong targeting strategy is a challenge for most event organizers. You need to add interests that help Facebook find potential attendees eager to check out your event. To do this, you need to understand how your audience is described in Facebook’s terms. And if you’ve spent any time in Ads Manager, you know decoding those terms is rarely easy and often changing.

When you run ads on social media with our marketing platform, you have millions of potential attendees at your fingertips. No wonder creators who used Eventbrite’s marketings tools saw 2.5x more listing views*.

Our new Smart Audiences tool brings the targeting science to you. Now you can add Smart Audiences to any ad you run. Powered by Eventbrite’s exclusive data, Smart Audiences makes it easy to find new attendees, connect with them through your social advertising, and sell out your events.
