Getting the most out of your Eventbrite and Ticket Tailor data (Guide)

Running a successful event isn’t just about ticket sales or getting people through the door. It’s about understanding your attendees, optimizing your marketing strategies, improving operational efficiency, and creating memorable experiences that drive repeat engagement. Tools like Eventbrite and Ticket Tailor provide a solid starting point for ticketing and basic analytics, but their out-of-the-box dashboards often fall short when it comes to producing actionable insights that drive business decisions.

This is where Breadcrumb comes in. With its new connectors for Eventbrite and Ticket Tailor, Breadcrumb makes it easier than ever to integrate event data with the rest of your business stack — unlocking a deeper, more holistic understanding of your audience and performance metrics. Whether you’re managing conferences, festivals, community gatherings, or ticketed brand activations, Breadcrumb can help you turn raw event data into insights you can act on.

Why Event Data Alone Isn’t Enough

Platforms like Eventbrite and Ticket Tailor offer a wealth of data points: ticket sales, check-ins, revenue by ticket type, and attendee information. But these datasets are often siloed. You can track how many people came, but not necessarily who they are in the context of your broader customer database, how they heard about you, or what they did after the event.

The problem isn’t a lack of data — it’s a lack of integration and context.

Common challenges with native event platforms:

Limited customization of analytics dashboards
No ability to combine with marketing, CRM, or POS data
Difficult to identify high-value attendees or segment by engagement
Hard to measure ROI beyond ticket revenue

Breadcrumb’s mission is to make data accessible, actionable, and shareable. With its new Eventbrite and Ticket Tailor connectors, you can now centralize your event data and combine it with other sources like:

CRM systems (HubSpot)
Marketing platforms (Meta Ads, Google Analytics)
POS systems (Square, PayPal)
Surveys and forms (Typeform, Google Forms)
Social engagement data (Youtube, Facebook)

This multidimensional approach enables you to uncover powerful insights that go well beyond basic event metrics.

Example Use Cases: From Raw Data to Real Intelligence

Understanding Your Audience Across Channels

With Breadcrumb, your attendee list becomes more than just names and email addresses. By combining ticketing data with CRM and ad platform data, you can answer questions like:

Which marketing channel drove the highest ROI per attendee?
How many attendees were new customers versus returning?
What content or campaigns resonated with different audience segments?

Actionable insight: You discover that Instagram drove a high volume of low-ticket sales, while email marketing brought in fewer but higher-value attendees. You decide to reallocate ad budget accordingly for the next event.

Optimizing Event Logistics with Behavioral Data

By pulling in data from your POS system or RFID wristbands (if used), you can analyze:

Peak check-in times and bottlenecks
Most popular food, drink, or merchandise items
Flow of traffic between zones or booths

Actionable insight: You notice that a VIP bar had low engagement despite strong ticket sales. The data shows it was too far from the main stage, so you move it closer next time to improve foot traffic and upsells.

Measuring Post-Event Engagement and Conversion

Eventbrite and Ticket Tailor can tell you who attended, but what happened after the event? With Breadcrumb, you can track follow-up actions such as:

Email open rates and clicks from post-event campaigns
Purchases made after the event by attendees
Social media engagement triggered by the event experience

Actionable insight: Attendees who engaged with a post-event discount offer had a 30% higher conversion rate. You decide to automate these offers after future events for maximum impact.

Breadcrumb’s no-code setup makes it easy to start syncing your event data. Here’s how it works:

Connect Your Ticketing Platform Use Breadcrumb’s native connectors to plug in your Eventbrite or Ticket Tailor account. This imports attendee lists, ticket types, sales reports, and check-in data.
Enrich with Other Tools Add other data sources — like CRMs, marketing platforms, or even spreadsheets — to enrich your understanding of each attendee and their journey.
Create Dashboards & Insights Use natural language or pre-built templates to ask questions and build visual reports. Breadcrumb automatically generates insights, identifies patterns, and highlights opportunities.
Share & Collaborate Generate sharable reports for sponsors, partners, or internal teams — whether through Slack, email, or embedded dashboards.

Real Impact for Event Organizers, Agencies, and Brands

The combination of Eventbrite or Ticket Tailor with Breadcrumb’s intelligence layer transforms how event organizers work:

Marketing teams can see what’s working and double down on the best channels.
Sales teams can identify high-value leads and follow up with better timing.
Operations teams can make data-informed decisions about logistics and layout.
Executive sponsors can get ROI reports that go beyond vanity metrics.

Case Study Snapshot: Music Festival Unlocks Revenue Insights

A mid-size music festival using Ticket Tailor had a simple goal: understand who their VIP customers were and how to get more of them next year. After connecting their event data to Breadcrumb, they learned:

60% of VIP ticket buyers also purchased merchandise and food on-site
Many had also attended a previous event promoted via email
The average VIP attendee brought 1.3 guests who bought general admission tickets

Result: They created a targeted campaign for past VIP buyers that included an early-access merchandise discount and a “bring-a-friend” offer, resulting in a 22% increase in VIP ticket sales the following season.

The Future of Event Intelligence

Events are rich with opportunity, but you can’t capitalize on what you don’t understand. By integrating Eventbrite or Ticket Tailor data with the rest of your business intelligence using Breadcrumb, you unlock the ability to:

Build more meaningful relationships with attendees
Attribute ROI across the entire funnel
Improve event experiences with real-time feedback loops

In a world where data is a competitive advantage, your events deserve more than a basic report.

Step 1: Connect Your Event Platform

Go to Connections in your Breadcrumb workspace and select either:

Eventbrite: Login and authorize access to your event data.

Step 2: Create a New Space

In Breadcrumb, a Space is where your data sources and questions live.

Click “New Space”
Add your Eventbrite or Ticket Tailor connection
Combine it with other sources as needed.

🎯 This is where you build context by blending multiple views of the customer journey.

Step 3: Add a Rule to Focus on a Specific Event

To make your insights more relevant, add a rule inside your Space:

Set a filter for a specific event ID, date range, or title
Focus on just one conference, festival, or series

This helps you avoid mixing data across different events and provides cleaner, more focused reports.

Setting up rules in Breadcrumb to filter event data

Now you’re ready to ask questions or generate automatic insights. You can use natural language: “Which city had the highest check-ins?” or “Top Single-Order Ticket Purchases”.
