- Integrated with Ticket Categories:
Add-ons are part of your existing Ticket Categories, so they’re easy to manage and track alongside your main event tickets. - Presented After Checkout Initiation:
Once an attendee has added tickets to their cart, a pop-up modal appears showing the add-ons available for purchase—whether it’s parking, VIP access, or additional workshops. - Simple User Experience:
The process is seamless—attendees simply select their desired add-ons, and they’re added to their cart without feeling pressured. This natural flow encourages them to enhance their experience, and you get the benefit of increased revenue. - Increase Revenue Without Extra Work:
Add-ons are a straightforward way to increase revenue without the need to raise ticket prices or invest more in advertising. - Enhance the Experience:
By offering add-ons like VIP access or special sessions, you provide personalized experiences that resonate with your attendees and make their time with you more memorable. - Non-Intrusive:
Add-ons appear at the perfect moment in the checkout process, making them easy to select without overwhelming your attendees.
- Presented After the Initial Purchase:
Once your attendee has confirmed their purchase, event upsell opportunities are displayed on the purchase confirmation page and sent in follow-up transactional emails. - Multiple Touchpoints for Engagement:
Your upsell offers are presented five times—once on the confirmation page, once in the confirmation email, and three more times in event reminder emails leading up to the event. This gives your attendees multiple opportunities to consider additional experiences. - Non-Intrusive and Relevant:
Upsells are offered naturally at the right moment—when your attendees are already engaged with your event. They’ll be shown other events they might enjoy, without feeling like a hard sell. - Maximize Revenue:
Event upsells provide an opportunity to increase your revenue by offering additional experiences without the need for more advertising or effort. Expect to see 5-10% more revenue from upsells alone. - Offer More Value:
Upsells allow your attendees to discover other experiences they may have missed in their initial purchase—creating a richer, more connected event experience. - Effortless and Scalable:
With upsells integrated directly into the post-purchase flow, you don’t need to lift a finger after the initial setup. It’s effortless revenue generation that scales with your event.
- Tailored to Conscious Events:
BrightStar’s upsell strategy isn’t just a copy of what the larger platforms do. Our platform is designed specifically for Conscious Event Creators like you. Whether you’re hosting a healing workshop, spiritual retreat, or music festival, our features are built with your unique needs in mind. - Post-Purchase Engagement:
Unlike larger platforms, we offer strategic post-purchase upsells that are seamlessly integrated into the attendee journey. Our system presents upsells at the perfect moment, when your attendees are already engaged, making them more likely to act on the offer. - More Than Just a Platform:
BrightStar isn’t just a tool for selling tickets—it’s a platform that empowers you to optimize your event and increase your revenue where it matters most: your bottom line. Our Add-Ons and Event Upsells work together to provide you with tools that actually increase profitability without adding complexity. - No Extra Advertising Spend:
With Eventbrite and other large platforms, upsells can often require additional advertising spend to promote other experiences. At BrightStar, our upsells are automatic and require no extra spend. They’re presented at the right time, to the right people, with minimal effort on your part.
As a Conscious Event Creator, your work goes beyond simply organizing an event—it’s about creating transformative experiences that resonate deeply with your audience.

Add-Ons: Elevate Your Attendees’ Experience—Before They Even Buy
What Are Add-Ons?
Add-ons are supplementary offerings tied to your event—things like VIP upgrades, accommodation options, and special event access that enhance your attendee’s experience. These are offered before checkout and give your attendees a chance to personalize their event experience.
At BrightStar, we’ve made the process simple and intuitive, so you can offer relevant add-ons without complicating your event setup. Add-ons increase your average order value (AOV) without requiring you to raise ticket prices.

Event Upsells: Effortlessly Boost Post-Purchase Revenue
What Are Event Upsells?
Event upsells are unique in that they’re presented after the initial purchase. After your attendees have committed to their tickets, you can offer them additional premium experiences such as exclusive workshops, meet-and-greets, or other related events they might enjoy. Upsells allow you to increase your revenue without spending additional marketing dollars and without requiring your attendees to make a second purchase upfront.

FAQ
Q: What’s the difference between Add-Ons and Event Upsells?

Q: Do I have to manually set up these offers every time?
A: No. Add-Ons and Event Upsells are built into BrightStar’s event flow. Once you configure them, they continue to be presented automatically at the right moments.
Q: How much more revenue can this generate?
A: Most organizers see a 5–10% increase in revenue from upsells alone, without needing to raise ticket prices or spend more on advertising.
Q: Will my attendees feel pressured?
A: No. Offers are presented gently, in alignment with the tone of your event. They’re surfaced as invitations — not urgency tricks.
