Four-year-old ticketing startup Eventbrite had a strong 2010. According to numbers released by the company today, the event ticketing platform was responsible for more than 11 million ticket sales, grossing nearly $207 million for the year.
The massive ticket sales figures represent sales for event organizers, but they mean that the company is pulling in substantial revenue through ticketing fees. Eventbrite takes a nice cut of all for-charge ticket sales — roughly 2.5% of the ticket value plus $0.99 per ticket .
Eventbrite also reported strong traffic for the year. On average, the site saw more than 17 million pageviews per month, with October coming in as the highest trafficked month at 6.7 million unique visitors.
Founded in 2006, Eventbrite has grown to become a dominate force in online ticketing. In 2010, 222,353 events — across 147 countries and 9,370 cities — were posted to site, according to a company blog post published earlier today.
Look for even more growth from Eventbrite in 2011. The startup closed $20 million in Series D finacing late last year to fuel expansion.
