Meta ads, built from your event
Facebook and Instagram ads for your events

For organizers and promoters. Sell your tickets on Trybe, or keep the ticket site you use now and run the ads from here.

- You pay Meta directly for ad spend.

Compare plansYou do, directly to Meta. Ad spend is charged to your own ad account with the payment method you set up there. Trybe adds no fee to your ad spend and never touches that money.
A Facebook Page to run the ads as, a Meta ad account with a payment method, and a Trybe account. You connect them by logging in with Facebook. Link an Instagram account to your Page to run the ads as your Instagram account too. If you have no Meta pixel, Trybe creates one in one click.
No. Trybe is for organizers and promoters wherever they sell. With tickets on Trybe, each ticket is verified at checkout and traced to its ad. With tickets on another site, your ads can point to a Trybe launch page that sends buyers on, Trybe counts the clicks, and results come from Meta’s purchase count and the ticket counts you type in.
Every ad links to your event page with its own tracking link, and a completed order that came through that link is counted for that ad. Meta’s own figure is shown beside it. It usually runs higher, because Meta also counts purchases an ad only helped.
Yes. Campaigns in your connected ad account show up in Trybe, marked as not linked to an event. Link one to its event, or to the ticket link of an event sold elsewhere, and on Pro it gets a sales plan.
Only if you turn on Let Trybe apply budget steps, which is part of the sales plan on Pro. You get a notice at 9 AM and the change goes live at 11 AM unless you tap Remind me. Pauses always wait for you, and every change is logged.
Yes, once the campaign is made. Its audience starts with the people around your venue, with a distance, an age range and a gender setting, and Meta’s Advantage+ audience looks for the ones most likely to respond. Then, in the Advanced view, you can add interests, behaviors and your saved or lookalike audiences to each ad set. With Advantage+ on, Meta treats them as suggestions.
The Free plan runs one ad campaign at a time, with as many drafts as you like, and each ticket sold on Trybe is traced to its ad at checkout. Pro is optional, at $79 a month, or $840 a year, in US dollars. It runs as many campaigns, automations and Instagram auto-replies at once as you need, and adds the event budget and the sales plan. You can cancel any time from Billing.
