How to Add Eventbrite Events to Google Calendar in 2026

To add an Eventbrite event to Google Calendar as an attendee, open Tickets in the Eventbrite app, select your ticket and add it to your calendar. Without the app, turn on Show events from Gmail in Google Calendar or create the event yourself from the order details. Organizers can copy every new event to Google Calendar automatically with Zapier.

A ticket that lives only in an email is a ticket you forget about. It's not on the week view when you agree to a dinner, and nothing reminds you the morning of. Below are the four ways to get Eventbrite events onto your Google Calendar, which one fits attendees and which fits organizers, what Eventbrite doesn't offer (a calendar feed you can subscribe to), and how to keep the calendar right when an event moves.

Which method should you use?

Attendees have three options and organizers have one more. The quickest for a single ticket is the Eventbrite app. The only one that keeps up with every event you publish is an automation.

How to add an Eventbrite ticket to Google Calendar from the app

The Eventbrite app is the one place Eventbrite's own help center says you can add a ticket to your calendar. Its guide to the Eventbrite app lists it next to the QR code and the event details when you open a ticket.

1. Open the Eventbrite app and log in with the email address you used to register.
2. Tap Tickets. On Android, Eventbrite's find-your-tickets page says to tap Profile, find your order, then tap Tickets.
3. Select the ticket for the event.
4. Choose the option to add the ticket to your calendar (the app offers calendar or wallet).
5. When your phone asks which calendar to use, pick the one that belongs to your Google account, then save. If no Google calendar is listed, add your Google account to your phone's calendar accounts in its settings first.
6. Open Google Calendar and check the date, start time and location match the ticket.

That last step matters more than it sounds. If your phone saves to a local calendar instead of the Google one, the event shows up on your phone and nowhere else, which is how a ticket ends up missing from the laptop calendar you actually plan with.

When I registered for a two-day conference on Eventbrite, I added the ticket from the app the same minute and pasted the ticket link from the confirmation email into the event description. At the door, the QR code was one tap away from the calendar entry instead of buried in my inbox.

How to get Eventbrite events into Google Calendar automatically from Gmail

Google Calendar can add events on its own from confirmation emails in Gmail, and Google lists "events for which you get registration confirmations or tickets" among the types it picks up (Google's events-from-Gmail page). If your Eventbrite account uses a Gmail address, this is the hands-off option for attendees.

Turn on events from Gmail on a computer

1. Open Google Calendar, click the Settings menu (the gear icon), then Settings.
2. Under General, click Google Workspace smart features, then Manage Workspace smart feature settings.
3. Turn on Smart features in Google Workspace and click Save.
4. Go back to Google Workspace smart features and check the box next to Show events from Gmail.

Google doesn't promise that every confirmation becomes an event. Its help page says nothing is added if the email went to a mailing list, if you were only cc'd, or if it was forwarded from another account. It also doesn't work for accounts without Gmail or for government accounts. So if you bought the ticket with a work address that forwards to your personal Gmail, expect nothing to appear.

Events added this way are private by default: Google says only you can see them, even on a calendar you share. That's a sensible default for concert tickets. It's less helpful if your partner or assistant needs to know you're out that evening, so add a plain "Busy" block on the shared calendar too.

How to add an Eventbrite event to Google Calendar yourself

Creating the event by hand takes about a minute and works for every Eventbrite event, on any device. It's also the fallback when the app isn't installed or Gmail didn't pick the confirmation up.

1. Open your order on Eventbrite (Tickets, then your order) and keep the date, time, venue and ticket link handy.
2. Open Google Calendar on a computer and click Create at the top left, or click an empty slot on the right day (Google's create-an-event guide).
3. Type the event name as the title. I add the venue or "online" to the end, so the week view tells me where I need to be without opening anything.
4. Set the start and end time. Check the time zone if the event is in another city.
5. Paste the venue address into the location and the ticket link into the description.
6. Click Save.

If you're on your phone, the Google Calendar app works the same way: tap Create, then Event, fill in the details and save. Our Google Calendar guide covers notifications, separate calendars and the rest of the setup.

Here's what I paste into the description, so everything I'll need on the day is in one place:

Ticket: [link from "Go to my tickets" in the confirmation email]
Order number: [from the confirmation email]
Doors / check-in: [time, if the listing gives one]
Getting there: [parking, nearest station or the online link]
Refund policy: [what the listing says, in case plans change]

What if you have an .ics file?

Eventbrite's help center doesn't document an .ics download or a calendar feed you can subscribe to, so don't go looking for a subscription link in your account. If an organizer sends you an .ics file separately, you can import it on a computer: in Google Calendar click the gear, Settings, Import & Export, Select file from your computer, choose the calendar and click Import (Google's import steps). Google notes that imported events don't stay in sync, so an imported copy won't follow a later change either.

How organizers add new Eventbrite events to Google Calendar automatically

Eventbrite's help center doesn't describe a built-in Google Calendar sync for organizers, so the usual route is Zapier. Its Eventbrite New Event trigger "triggers when a new event is created and marked as live within an organization," and Google Calendar's Create Detailed Event action turns that into a calendar event (Zapier's Eventbrite and Google Calendar page).

1. Sign in to Zapier and create a new Zap.
2. For the trigger, choose Eventbrite, then New Event, and connect your Eventbrite account.
3. Pick the organization whose events you want copied. Make sure it has at least one live event so Zapier has something to test with.
4. For the action, choose Google Calendar, then Create Detailed Event, and connect your Google account.
5. Choose the calendar the events should land on.
6. Map the fields: the event name to the title, the event description to the description, the venue address to the location, and the event's local start and end times to the start and end date and time.
7. Click Test step, check the event appeared in Google Calendar, then publish the Zap.

Point it at a separate calendar, not your main one. When I ran a monthly meetup on Eventbrite, I sent every new event to an Events calendar I could share with the people helping out, and hide on weeks when I only wanted to see my own meetings. For sharing that calendar from a phone, see how to share a Google Calendar on iPhone.

What Zapier costs for this

This Zap has one trigger and one action, which Zapier's Free plan supports. According to Zapier's pricing page, Free includes 100 tasks a month and two-step Zaps. The Professional plan costs $19.99 per month on annual billing, or $29.99 month to month, if you need multi-step Zaps, for example to add a filter so only some events are copied.

Other Eventbrite triggers organizers use

Zapier lists four more Eventbrite triggers: New Attendee Registered, New Order, New Attendee Check-In and Updated Attendee. Paired with Google Calendar's Add Attendee(s) to Event action, a registration could add the attendee as a guest on your calendar event. Think twice before turning that on for a public event: every registrant becomes a guest on an event in your own Google Calendar, and that's a long guest list to manage when plans change.

What to do when an Eventbrite event changes date or time

None of the methods above update your calendar when an organizer reschedules. Eventbrite doesn't notify attendees automatically either: its rescheduling guide tells organizers to email registered attendees about the change themselves.

For attendees, that means the organizer's email is your cue. When a workshop I'd signed up for moved to a later start, the email arrived, but my calendar still showed the old time until I fixed it myself. Now I treat any email from an organizer as a prompt to open the calendar entry and check it.

There's a second check worth knowing about. Eventbrite sends attendees a reminder email two days before each event, unless the organizer deletes it (Eventbrite's list of automatic emails). That reminder is a good moment to compare the date and time with what's on your calendar.

For organizers: change the date in Eventbrite (Manage my events, your event, Build event, Date and time, Save), email your attendees, and then update your own Google Calendar entry, because the Zap won't.

Why isn't my Eventbrite event showing in Google Calendar?

Most missing events come down to the wrong account or the wrong calendar. Work through these in order:

• It saved to a different calendar. On a phone, the app may have used a local or iCloud calendar. Open the phone's calendar app, find the event and check which calendar it's on.
• The calendar is hidden. In Google Calendar, make sure the calendar you used is checked in the list on the left.
• Events from Gmail is off, or the email didn't qualify. Check the setting, and remember Google skips confirmations you were cc'd on or that were forwarded from another account.
• The confirmation went to another address. Eventbrite's tickets are tied to the email address on the order (Eventbrite's ticket and confirmation page). If that isn't your Gmail, Google never saw it.
• The Zap is off or tested on a draft. The New Event trigger only fires for events marked live, so a draft event won't come through.

A simple routine for Eventbrite events

1. Add the event to Google Calendar the moment you register, from the app or by hand.
2. Put the ticket link and order number in the description.
3. Add a notification for when you need to leave, not just when the event starts (our Google Calendar guide shows where to set notifications).
4. When an email arrives from the organizer, open the calendar entry and check the date and time.
5. When the two-day reminder arrives, check the calendar once more.
