Eventbrite, an online event management company and ticketing platform, just recently released a new product to make selling tickets on-site easier for the consumer and event manager- an iPad credit card reader. In the past, Eventbrite operated completely online. Event managers would create an event page for, let’s say, a jewelry-making workshop or a local symphony concert. Buyers would purchase their tickets online. However, those who purchased their tickets onsite at the last minute were not able to purchase them through Eventbrite. For this reason, Eventbrite launched the iPad application in December, “At the Door,” available for free from the iTunes App Store .
Can "Highlight," a Location-Based Application, Serve the Arts?
Back from South by Southwest (SxSW), a few of our Technology in the Arts staff members are buzzing about the exciting digital apps, tech tools, and conversations they participated in during their jam-packed, no sleep, wild partying (just kidding…kind of…) trip to Austin, Texas, last month. One of the most talked about technologies from the SxSW interactive conference was and continues to be Highlight, a location-based application available for free for the iPhone at the iPhone App Store.
