More from Forbes:
As a consequence of empowering many events, Eventbrite sold more than 11 million tickets last year and reported $207 million in gross sales. The platform continuous to grow fast and the team expects to generate $500 million in gross ticket sales this year. Founded in 2006, the website started out gathering much of its traffic from Google. If you searched for an event, you would find Eventbrite's concerts in the search engines results. However, as networking on social media has taken off, people increasingly learn about the events when their friends shared them. It is no coincidence that Eventbrite has taken off with Facebook and Twitter. Though it is not as big as the other two, the platform has become the “real-life” way for people to connect while attending events together. The San Francisco-based startup raised $50 million in a round of funding led by Tiger Global in May 2011.
