SAN FRANCISCO, CA — (Marketwire) — 12/19/11 — Eventbrite announced today the release of the , a free iOS application that gets attendees to their events, and through check-in, more easily than ever before. For all of their upcoming events, attendees can use the application to access event details; share the event details with friends; and pull up the tickets they-ve ordered. The Eventbrite mobile app offers a map and directions to the event location; and it enables attendees to contact the event organizer with any last-minute questions with a single click. It-s a simple, intuitive application that helps frequent event-goers manage their tickets and their scheduling details, while staying paperless.

Co-Founder and President Julia Hartz points out, “We-re excited to show our ticket buyers that, though they may not have realized it, the events that they-re going to — irrespective of how varied they are — are all on Eventbrite.”
