Facebook launches new tools for event organizers to sell tickets directly through its platform. This move helps businesses and individuals manage events and ticket sales in one place. People can create event listings on Facebook or Instagram. They can then set up ticket options and prices. Attendees buy tickets without leaving Facebook. The system handles payments securely.

Event creators receive funds after the event ends. Facebook keeps a small fee per ticket. This fee covers payment processing and support. The new tools aim to simplify event planning. Organizers previously needed external ticketing services. Now they can manage everything inside Facebook. This could save time and money.
Facebook already helps people find local events. Millions use it to discover concerts, markets, or classes. The new ticketing feature builds on this. Users can browse events and buy tickets immediately. They see events their friends are interested in too. This might help events reach more people.

The tools are available for many event types. These include free events and paid events. Businesses, artists, and community groups can use them. Facebook states its goal is supporting local connections. Easier ticketing might encourage more events. The company tested these features with select partners earlier. It is now rolling them out more widely in several countries.
