Being in community development work, I like to source equitable tools and software for my engagements. > > **Cons**: The interface of the BPT website could be improved. It has an old-style look to it that may not be appealing to all users. > > It has been great\! Very simple and straight-forward, which is good for my clients who may not be so tech-savvy. ----- ### "Brown Paper Tickets has not paid me for our ticket sales." — 1.0/5 > **Dan** | *15 July 2022* | Performing Arts | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Given the situation, this is not really relevant. However, I'd say, AT THE TIME I was using them (before the payment that never happened), their customer service was very friendly and helpful. > > **Cons**: Now it seems impossible to get anyone on the phone—so what I liked before has changed dramatically. > > Brown Paper Tickets, to be honest, was fine. Until the pandemic hit. They had promptly mailed me checks totaling $2640. Then emailed me, (due to the pandemic onslaught of cancellations) that these checks could not be cashed. I still have the checks, and have kicked myself for not cashing them sooner. It was a difficult time for most of us, and I understood. But now, more than 2 1/2 years later, they have not acknowledged any of my emails, other than by form emails. Over the last several years, I have seen them begin to operate again. I am going to see a friend's show next week that is ticketed through BPT. All I can say is, WHAT IS GOING ON? They seem to have decided that in the post-pandemic USA, debts are no longer owed. WA state actually filed a lawsuit against them and a settlement was reached. ALL creditors were supposed to be paid, across the country. But I have not been paid or acknowledged. They apparently think they can get away with this. I'm just a small voice here, but I say: let's NOT let them get away with this. ----- ### "Excellent choice for free online events" — 4.0/5 > **Nicole** | *15 March 2022* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I appreciate that brown paper tickets doesn’t charge if you are not selling tickets. > > **Cons**: It was sometimes difficult to find specific event data or make customer reports. > > Overall, Brown Paper Tickets is easy to use but not customize. ----- ### "Perfect for small-budget nonprofits" — 4.0/5 > **Blake** | *4 November 2021* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's safe to say that BPT has stayed true to its mission from the beginning: providing low-cost ticketing and event management that's suitable for student groups and low-budget nonprofit organizations. It's simple, effective, and we've never had a complaint about the UX. > > **Cons**: It would be interesting to see their branding / user-flow updated to something similar to Eventbrite, but I'm almost hesitant to say that because it's almost nostalgic at this point. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/127715/brown-paper-tickets?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/127715/brown-paper-tickets) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | ----- ## Structured Data
