We are looking for a native salesforce application which can replace eventbrite and help us in event management and ticketing for gardens .
#Appexchage Apps
A few native options actually cover garden style ticketing well timed/dated admission tickets, guest checkout (no login needed for buyers), and Salesforce native data (no sync lag or external ticketing database). Here's how the leading ones stack up:
A consultant's take: for garden admission/event ticketing specifically, my starting pick would be Blackthorn Events it's the most mature native option, handles payment processing and refunds itself (no separate Stripe/PayPal integration to maintain), and pairs with Experience Cloud for a public-facing ticket storefront visitors can buy from without a login. It's also the one most gardens/botanical orgs and nonprofits already use, per the vendor's own case data.Two things worth confirming before you commit, since they change the recommendation:
- Ticket volume/pattern is this timed/dated admission (e.g. "Saturday 10am garden entry") with capacity caps, or more traditional single events (fundraisers, classes, weddings)? Blackthorn and AC Events both handle capacity based timed tickets; EventSpark leans more toward simple RSVP/registration.
- Budget tier Blackthorn is licensed per-org and sits mid-to-high; EventSpark is the lower cost native option if this is a smaller garden with modest ticket volume.
If you want, I can pull current AppExchange reviews/pricing details for whichever one fits your volume, or scope out what a native build/config would take if you'd rather not add a managed package at all worth knowing that's also an option here, since garden ticketing with capacity limits is buildable on standard Salesforce (Flow + Experience Cloud + a payment gateway like Stripe) if you want full control instead of a packaged app.
I hope you find the above information helpful. If it does, please mark it as Best Answer to help others too.
