# Eventbrite — Printing Press CLI
## Prerequisites: Install the CLI
This skill drives the `eventbrite-pp-cli` binary. **You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill.** If it is missing, install it first:
1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to `$HOME/.local/bin` on macOS/Linux and `%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin` on Windows:
```bash
npx -y @mvanhorn/printing-press-library install eventbrite --cli-only
```
2. Verify: `eventbrite-pp-cli --version`
3. Ensure the reported install directory is on `$PATH` for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill.
If the `npx` install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.6 or newer):
```bash
go install github.com/mvanhorn/printing-press-library/library/media-and-entertainment/eventbrite/cmd/eventbrite-pp-cli@latest
```
If `--version` reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on `$PATH`. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds.
## When to Use This CLI
Use this CLI when an agent manages an organizer's Eventbrite presence: creating and publishing events, pulling order and attendee history, and answering cross-event questions (which events sell slowest, which fans return, who the top buyers are, how a discount code performed) that the per-event dashboard and existing single-org MCP servers cannot answer. It is the right tool whenever the task needs the whole order/attendee history in one place rather than a single live API lookup. When the same promoter also sells on DICE, both CLIs emit JSON and a local SQLite store, so an agent can join the two datasets by event (name and date) and by buyer email for a cross-platform performance and loyalty picture.
## Unique Capabilities
These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API.
### Cross-event sales analytics
- **`sales-velocity`** — Ranks all your live events by tickets sold per day since on-sale and projects a sell-out date.
_Reach for this when an agent needs to know which of an organizer's events are underperforming right now, not just current totals._
```bash
eventbrite-pp-cli sales-velocity --json
```
- **`discount-performance`** — Per discount code: redemptions, type, and the redemption rate (share of the code's allotment used).
_Pick this to measure whether a promo code actually drove sales before renewing or killing it._
```bash
eventbrite-pp-cli discount-performance --json
```
- **`capacity`** — Sold vs total capacity and percent remaining across all your live events at once.
_Use this to spot which events are near sell-out or badly under-sold in a single call._
```bash
eventbrite-pp-cli capacity --json
```
- **`refund-rate`** — Refunded and cancelled order counts, refunded revenue, and the rate per event or across the org.
_Pick this to flag events with abnormal refund rates that signal a pricing, date, or fulfillment problem._
```bash
eventbrite-pp-cli refund-rate --json
```
- **`top-buyers`** — Ranks ticket buyers by total spend across all your events, not just by how many events they attended.
_Reach for this to find an organizer's highest-value customers for VIP or pre-sale outreach._
```bash
eventbrite-pp-cli top-buyers --limit 25 --json
```
### Search your own data offline
- **`repeat-attendees`** — Finds fans who bought into two or more of your events, across your whole synced history.
_Use this for loyalty and re-marketing questions an agent cannot answer from any one event's attendee list._
```bash
eventbrite-pp-cli repeat-attendees --min 2 --json
```
- **`roster`** — Offline attendee roster for one event with checked-in vs not-yet, VIP and comp flags, door-sorted.
_Reach for this at the door when an agent needs a fast who-has-not-checked-in list without a live API round-trip._
```bash
eventbrite-pp-cli roster 1234567890 --csv
```
- **`fan-export`** — Exports unique attendee contacts (email, name, events attended, check-in status), deduped across all your events and filterable by event.
_Use this to build a clean, deduped contact list for an email campaign across an organizer's whole audience._
```bash
eventbrite-pp-cli fan-export --csv
```
### Agency multi-org view
- **`org-rollup`** — Single pane across every organization your token can see: events count, tickets sold, gross, and top event per org.
_Use this for an agency or multi-brand operator who needs one client roll-up instead of logging into each org._
```bash
eventbrite-pp-cli org-rollup --json
```
## Command Reference
**balance** — Manage balance
**categories** —
## Category Object
An overarching category that an event falls into (vertical). Examples are “Music”, and “Endurance”.
- `eventbrite-pp-cli categories category-by-id` — Gets a `category` by ID as ``category``.
- `eventbrite-pp-cli categories list-of` — Returns a list of Category as categories, including subcategories nested. Returns a paginated response.
**discounts** —
## Discount Object
The Discount object represents a discount that an Order owner can use when purchasing tickets to an [Event](#event_object).
A Discount can be used to a single [Ticket Class](#ticket_class_object) or across multiple Ticket Classes for multiple Events simultaneously (known as a cross event Discount).
There are four types of Discounts:
+ **Public Discount.** Publically displays Discount to Order owner on the Event Listing and Checkout pages. Only used with a single Event.
+ **Coded Discount.** Requires Order owner to use a secret code to access the Discount.
+ **Access Code.** Requires Order owner to use a secret code to access hidden tickets. Access codes can also optionally contain a discount amount.
+ **Hold Discount.** Allows Order owner to apply or unlock Discount for seats on hold.
The display price of a ticket is calculated as: \
`price_before_discount` - `discount_amount` = `display_price`
Notes:
* Public and Coded Discounts can specify either an amount off or a percentage off, but not both types discounts.
* Public Discounts should not contain apostrophes or non-alphanumeric characters (except “-���, “_”, ” ”, “(”, ”)”, “/”, and “”).
* Coded Discounts and Access Codes should not contain spaces, apostrophes or non-alphanumeric characters (except “-”, “_”, “(”, ”)”, “/”, and “”).
