I run the Explara Community Software, which powers smaller to the largest community like https://hub.tie.org/

Explara Community Software has super advantages to group owners who don't need Meetup network effect as such. More on https://info.explara.com/switch-from-meetup-to-explara

Network effect could solve gaps and make Eventbrite emerge as №1 player vs. LiveNation. But only in the ticketing for the entertainment segment.
