Linktree for Events Alternatives That Sell Tickets From Your Bio
· by ExclusiveLink
Linktree works for events if you are a touring music act: its Tours and Events link pulls your upcoming shows from Bandsintown or Seated and keeps them current on its own. If you run comedy nights, club nights, workshops, run clubs or conferences, the better setup is a bio page that collects a presale list, switches the ticket button on at the minute sales open, and tells you which post sold seats.
Neither option sells tickets itself. Your ticketing platform (Eventbrite, DICE, Ticketmaster, Posh, a venue box office) still takes the order. The bio page decides how many followers reach that checkout, and how much you learn about them on the way. Below is what Linktree actually offers for events, where it falls short for promoters, and four setups worth paying for.

What your fans see
What Linktree offers for events today
Linktree has one event feature built in: the Tours and Events link. Linktree's own blog post on it, published in November 2025, names two sources, Seated and Bandsintown. Once either profile is connected, "your tour information updates automatically", and fans can filter for shows near them.
Bandsintown's help center adds the detail promoters need: "Linktree displays your first 6 upcoming events and automatically links to your Bandsintown artist page", and each listed event carries a ticket link to the matching Bandsintown event page. So the fan buys on Bandsintown's event page, which forwards to the seller.
Beyond that, Linktree is a list of links. On US pricing it runs Free, Starter at $8, Pro at $15 and Premium at $35 a month. Its pricing page puts link scheduling on Starter, so you can time a ticket button to appear. You can add a plain link to an Eventbrite or DICE page on any plan. What you cannot do is put the page on your own domain. Linktree's help center says it plainly: "Linktree doesn't support custom domains."
Where Linktree falls short for event promoters
For a band with a Bandsintown profile, the Tours and Events link is genuinely good, and free. The gaps show up for everyone else, and for anyone who treats the bio link as part of a sales plan rather than a directory.
- Only two event sources. Comedy, nightlife, fitness and conference organizers rarely list on Bandsintown or Seated. They are left with a manual link per event, which goes stale the morning after the show.
- The address is not yours. A linktr.ee URL on posters, wristbands and venue screens is someone else's address. Switch tools and every printed flyer points at a page you no longer maintain.
- No price on a link. Selling a livestream pass, a workshop replay or a set recording means sending the buyer to a separate store, because Linktree does not put a payment lock on an ordinary link.
- Source data takes the top plans. Free has basic analytics, and the deeper breakdowns sit on Pro and Premium. To learn whether the lineup Reel or the TikTok teaser moved tickets, you pay for the upper tiers anyway.

Linktree and Bandsintown details come from their own blog and help pages. Beacons figures were read on its plans page in October 2026. Our row is a vendor's row.
The four setups, and who each one suits
1. The ticketing page itself, if you run one event
If a single festival or conference is the only thing you promote all year, put the Eventbrite, DICE or venue page straight in your bio. It costs nothing, it is one tap shorter than any bio page, and there is nothing else competing for the click. Add a bio tool only when you have a second thing to link.
2. Linktree with Tours and Events, if you tour as a musician
For a band already on Bandsintown, this is the easiest option and it is free. Dates appear and disappear on their own, six at a time, each with a ticket link, and the rest of the page can hold streaming and merch. Stay here unless you want your own domain or a presale list built into the page. Our link in bio for musicians page covers the release side, and Linktree pricing has every plan.
3. Beacons, if you want a domain on a small budget
Beacons includes a custom domain from its $10 Creator plan, which Linktree does not offer at any price. Event links are added by hand, like on Linktree. Its store keeps 9% of digital sales below the $30 Creator Plus plan, which matters only if you sell replays or recordings from the page.
4. ExclusiveLink, if events are a recurring business
This is our product, so weigh it accordingly. It is built for the promoter who announces shows weeks before tickets drop. An email lock collects the presale list on every plan and exports to CSV. On Pro, the ticket button is scheduled to appear at on-sale time and expire on show night, so the next date moves up without anyone touching a phone at 10 a.m. Pro also shows taps by platform and post, runs the page on tickets.yourevent.com, and puts a one-time price on any link, which is how organizers sell a livestream pass or last month's replay with a 0% platform fee.
It costs more than Linktree: Creator is $49 a month ($24 billed yearly) and Pro is $99 ($49 billed yearly). It pays off when a few extra sold seats a month cover the difference. The full layout, from presale gate to show-night expiry, is on our link in bio for tickets page, and the list-building side is on link in bio with email capture.
How to set up a bio page for events that sells seats
- Top slot, one event. The next show, with day, city and starting price in the label: "Fri Nov 14, Austin, from $20". Fans decide from the label alone.
- Presale gate for announced shows. "Get the presale code" behind an email. Send the code an hour before general sale.
- Three or four more dates at most. After that, one "All dates" link to your ticketing profile.
- Extras below the fold. Venue info, VIP and table inquiries, the recap video, a paid replay.
- Close the loop after the show. Ask attendees what to change next time. A short tool to collect answers by text, voice or video gets more replies than a long form, and the answers tell you which nights to book again.
DJs selling their own bookings rather than tickets to a night need a different page, built around inquiries and an EPK; that version is on link in bio for DJs.
Linktree for events questions
Can you use Linktree for events?
Yes. Any Linktree plan can hold a link to an event page, and the Tours and Events link shows upcoming dates from a connected Bandsintown or Seated profile, updating automatically. For events listed elsewhere, such as Eventbrite or DICE, you add and remove each link by hand, and link scheduling starts on the $8 Starter plan.
How do I add events to my Linktree?
Add a new link and paste your Bandsintown artist page URL, or install the integration from Bandsintown's settings with Sync on Linktree. Linktree then lists your first six upcoming events, each with a ticket link. For other ticketing platforms, add a normal link per event and label it with the date and city.
Can Linktree sell event tickets?
Not directly. Linktree's event links send fans to the ticket seller, and the sale happens on Bandsintown's event page, Eventbrite, DICE or the venue. No bio page tool on this list issues tickets. What differs is how well each one collects a presale list, times the on-sale link and reports which post sent buyers.
What is the best link in bio for events?
For touring musicians, Linktree with the Tours and Events link, because dates update on their own. For one annual event, the ticketing page itself. For promoters running recurring nights, workshops or classes, a page with presale email capture, scheduled ticket links and your own domain, such as ExclusiveLink Pro at $49 a month billed yearly.
Can I use my own domain for an events link in bio?
Not on Linktree, whose help center says it does not support custom domains. Beacons includes one from its $10 plan, and ExclusiveLink on Pro, where a single CNAME record puts the page on an address like tickets.yourevent.com that stays the same when you change ticketing providers.
