Comparison
Passline and Eventbrite both land on Depends.
Passline fits small-to-mid event organizers selling tickets in Latin America, but public scam complaints and a missing security page mean you should verify payouts and refund handling first; evidence is thin because its site blocks automated review.
Fine for small organizers running public events who want built-in discovery, if stacked per-ticket fees don't sting.

| Verdict | Depends | Depends |
| Best for | LatAm event organizers and productoras | One-off public events |
| Who it's not for | US-first events needing a proven local track record | Nonprofits . Zeffy is 100% free |
| Privacy | No public security page; one low-severity credential exposure noted in a cybercrime database.⁶ | PCI compliant with a bug bounty; CVEs found are in third-party WordPress plugins, not Eventbrite core. |
| Support quality | Complaint boards and scam allegations, no resolution data | Common complaints; company working to improve |
| Public sentiment | Feedback is polarized . large LatAm fan followings use it, while some buyers publicly allege scams and complaint boards carry grievances.¹ | Organizers credit Eventbrite with reach and simplicity but flood forums with complaints about rising fees, support, and post-acquisition changes.15 |
| Biggest gotcha | Ticket-buyer posts allege scams; verify payout and refund flows before committing¹ | Fees stack: percentage plus per-ticket charge, passed to buyers. Paid events are never free14 |
