online event registration services

I recently found an online event registration service that I like pretty well.

www.eventbrite.com

So far, I have only used the free functions. It allowed me to create a page for an event with its own URL (mine is www.colors.eventbrite.com -- which I suspect will go inactive after the event, on 2/10/2009). It isn't super fancy, but it allowed me to post my group's logo and descriptive text.

Credit card payments are processed through my PayPal account, but registrants do not need an account, just a card. It allowed me to create several levels of tickets, which was cool, but it did not allow me to restrict who gets which kind of ticket. So, for example, I have to hope that non-members of the organization will not register at the cheaper "member" price. That's a pretty small problem, though.

Setting up my event took no more than 15 minutes.

For a quick and easy way to have online registration for your events, I definitely recommend www.eventbrite.com.
