5 Unexpected Businesses that Make Revenue from Events

For restaurants and traditional event spaces, it’s easy to see how an event management software platform like Tripleseat would help streamline and grow their business. But these venue types aren’t the only ones hosting events — or seeing increased revenue as a result. Tripleseat and EventUp's wide range of clients includes not only restaurants and private event venues, but places like arcades, motorsports parks, cruise ships, and everything in between. Below, we’ve rounded up just a few of the myriad company types that have found Tripleseat & EventUp to be the best business solution.

Boats

Recreational Venues & Arcades
