Eventbrite's platform is for adults only. If you are under 18, you are not permitted to use the service, and by using it you are confirming you meet the age requirement.
This analysis describes what Eventbrite's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
The age restriction operates as a condition of service eligibility and establishes a compliance mechanism whereby users affirmatively warrant their age upon account creation and continued use. This provision allocates responsibility to users to certify their legal capacity to enter into the service agreement.
Minors are excluded from using Eventbrite's services under these terms, which means any account created by or on behalf of a minor lacks the protections that regulated minors' platforms would provide. Parents purchasing tickets for children through their own accounts are not affected, but minors creating independent accounts may have their accounts terminated.

"You must be at least 18 years of age to use the Services. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are at least 18 years of age and that your use of the Services does not violate any applicable laws or regulations.— Excerpt from Eventbrite's Eventbrite Terms of Service
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: The 18-and-over age restriction implicates COPPA for US users under 13, which prohibits collection of personal data from children without parental consent and is enforced by the FTC. The restriction to 18-and-over rather than 13-and-over suggests Eventbrite has made a deliberate choice to exclude all minors rather than the COPPA-specific under-13 threshold. This may reflect both regulatory caution and platform design choices. EU GDPR Article 8 sets varying minimum ages for digital consent across member states, ranging from 13 to 16, and Eventbrite's 18-year threshold exceeds GDPR's minimum requirements. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Low for compliance purposes given the conservative 18-year threshold, but medium for enforcement, as age verification mechanisms are not described in the terms and online age restrictions are notoriously difficult to enforce without technical controls. JURISDICTION FLAGS: COPPA applies to US users under 13 regardless of the platform's stated age restriction. EU GDPR Article 8 and national implementations set varying digital consent ages that the 18-year threshold exceeds in all member states. UK GDPR sets the digital consent age at 13, with the ICO's Children's Code imposing additional design obligations for services likely to be accessed by minors. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Organizations using Eventbrite for events that may attract minors should assess whether the platform's age restriction creates any liability exposure if minors access event registration through their organization's Eventbrite events. Schools, youth organizations, and family event organizers should be particularly attentive to this. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should confirm whether Eventbrite has implemented technical age verification controls beyond the self-attestation model implied by this clause. For event organizers hosting family or youth-oriented events, consideration should be given to whether the Eventbrite platform is appropriate or whether a different ticketing solution with minors-compatible terms is needed.
