Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Event Essentials has been my go-to event management company for over 5 years. Their reliable ticket purchasing software is flexible and updates easily. Ticket buyer data collection is valuable to support promotion, to send updates and alerts, and allows follow up on customer satisfaction. Staff responds quickly to emails and performs requests rapidly. Their “hands-on” participation makes one feel you have reliable partners. They continue to help raise the bar on event presentation with creative input that is customized to support our goals.
  • I've had nothing but good experiences with Event Essentials and their software / service. They're on the forefront with this software and tech in general.

Cons

  • In over 5 years working with Event Essentials, I have never been disappointed in their services.
  • I had a good experience and don't have any complaints.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I used Surkus to claim 3 offers in their offers section. I have yet to try their events as Coronavirus has gotten in the way of that. So far the three products I received have all been high quality. Their UI is simple and straightforward. I have been checking their app once a day now to see if there are any new deals, I'm hooked. I've even got my girlfriend and good friend to sign up as well.

Cons

  • The premise of their offer feels a bit weird at first, but I ended up feeling much more comfortable after I got the first product and went through the workflow for the first time. It's simple enough and legitimate so I will keep using it to find offers that I like.
