A QR code for Eventbrite turns an event's public listing link into a code for flyers, posters or social posts, driving registrations. This is separate from the ticket code Eventbrite emails attendees for check-in, issued by Eventbrite and used with its own scanner app. Free to build, no account needed.

Two different codes get called an Eventbrite QR code, and they do opposite jobs. One takes someone from a flyer or a social post to the event's listing page so they can register; the other is the ticket Eventbrite emails after registration, meant for the door and read by the organiser's own check-in app.

This page covers the first kind, built from the public listing link and printed wherever the event is being promoted: a poster, a flyer, a slide at an info session. It works the same as any other web address code, aimed specifically at that one event page, free to build with no account needed.

Turning an Eventbrite listing into a code

  1. Open your event's public page

    From your Eventbrite organizer dashboard, open the event and find its public listing page, which has an address like eventbrite.com/e/your-event-name-tickets-1234567890.

  2. Copy the link from the listing itself, not the dashboard

    Copy the address bar while viewing the public page, or use the share option on the listing, rather than a manage or edit URL that requires you to be logged in.

  3. Test it in a private browser window

    Open the link with no Eventbrite account signed in and confirm it shows the event details and a working registration button, not a login prompt.

  4. Paste it into the web address field and download

    Preview the code, scan it with your own phone, and download SVG for a print shop or PNG for a quick flyer.

Promoting the event versus checking attendees in

An Eventbrite QR code generator search often turns up two different needs. Promoting the event to new people means encoding the public listing link, which is what this page covers. Checking attendees in at the door uses the ticket QR code Eventbrite already emails after registration, read with Eventbrite's own organizer scanner app — there is nothing to build for that part, since Eventbrite already handles it.

When the listing link goes stale

A static code pointed at this year's listing keeps working exactly as long as that listing stays live. If the same flyer or banner gets reused for next year's event under a new Eventbrite listing, a static code sends people to a page for an event that already happened. A dynamic code avoids this: update it to the new listing link each time the event repeats, and the same printed material keeps working.

What an Eventbrite promotion code contains

A plain web address to the event's public Eventbrite listing. No ticket data, no attendee information, nothing that lets someone check in or claim a ticket without going through Eventbrite's own registration flow.

Where to print an Eventbrite promotion code

Posters, flyers, social graphics and email footers are the usual spots. A flyer handed out in person works well at 25 to 30 mm; a poster read from a couple of meters away needs 80 mm or more, following the rule that scanning distance is about ten times the code's width.

Print it at least 25 mm (2.5 cm) wide

Why an Eventbrite code sends people to the wrong place

  • Linking to your organizer profile instead of the event

    Your Eventbrite profile lists everything you have ever run. Link the specific event page, not the profile, unless you genuinely want people browsing your whole catalog.

  • Reusing last year's listing link

    Eventbrite typically creates a new listing for a repeated event. A code pointed at an old, ended listing has to be rebuilt or, better, replaced with a dynamic one that can be updated instead.

  • Confusing this with the ticket QR code

    The code emailed to attendees after they register is for entry, generated and scanned entirely within Eventbrite. Printing that code on a flyer does not promote the event and will not work for anyone but its intended holder.

Static or dynamic for an Eventbrite code

Static is fine for a one-time event where the flyer will be thrown away once the date passes: free, no account, done.

Dynamic is worth it for a recurring event — a monthly meetup, an annual conference — where the same banner or printed sign gets reused and should point at whichever year's listing is currently live. The first two dynamic codes are free forever.

How dynamic QR codes work

Where Eventbrite promotion codes get used

  • A conference poster in a shared office space linking to registration.
  • A flyer handed out at a related event promoting next month's meetup.
  • A social media graphic with a code for people who prefer scanning over tapping a link.
  • An email newsletter footer linking to the current month's ticketed event.

A QR code that still works next year

Most of what goes wrong with a QR code happens after it is printed. These six things are why ours does not.

  • Checked before you print

    We decode every code you make and read it back. If a logo covers too much or a colour is too faint for paper, you find out here — not after the print run.

  • Unlimited scans, every plan

    Including the free one. A scan cap kills a printed code at the moment it starts working, which is why we do not have one.

  • We do not switch off your codes

    Two dynamic codes stay yours permanently, whatever you pay us. Cancel a paid plan and you keep them — the rest pause after 30 days, with three warnings first, and a paused code shows a neutral page, never a sales page.

  • Made on your device

    Static codes never reach our servers. Your WiFi password, your contact details and your logo stay in the browser — which is also why there is no limit.

  • Ready for the printer

    SVG for anything that gets scaled, and PNG at 1024px so the edges stay hard. Both free, no account.

  • Available in English, Norwegian Bokmål, Danish, Swedish, German, French, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Finnish, Portuguese, and Polish

    The generator and every page speak English, Norwegian Bokmål, Danish, Swedish, German, French, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Finnish, Portuguese, and Polish. More languages follow as each one is reviewed by a native speaker.

See what happens after you print

A dynamic code points at a short link you own. Change where it goes without reprinting anything, and see how often each code has been scanned and when the last scan was.

  • Change the destination any time, as often as you like
  • A scan count and the last scan for every code
  • No scan limit, on any plan
  • Cancel and you keep two codes permanently — the rest pause after 30 days

QR Code for Eventbrite: questions and answers

Short answers to what people ask before they print. Anything else, write to us.

Ask us something else

Is this the same as the QR code Eventbrite sends with my ticket?

No. That code is for check-in, generated by Eventbrite after registration and scanned with its organizer app. This page is about promoting the event listing itself before someone registers.

Where do I find my event's public link?

Open your event's live listing page, not the editing dashboard, and copy the address bar or use the page's own share option. It looks like eventbrite.com/e/event-name-tickets-1234567890.

Will the code still work after the event happens?

The listing usually stays live but stops accepting registrations once the event passes. A static code will still open the page; a dynamic code lets you redirect it to a new listing for a repeat event instead.

Can I track how many people scanned the flyer?

Yes, with a dynamic code, which shows a scan count and, on paid plans, the time and device type of each scan, separate from Eventbrite's own registration numbers.

Can one code work for a recurring event every year?

Only if you use a dynamic code and update its destination to each year's new listing. A static code keeps the first year's link permanently.
