About eventDSM

Built for Des Moines, by Des Moines

Our Story

eventDSM was born from a simple conversation with a friend who needed a professional event ticketing system that didn't break the bank.

We saw firsthand how national ticketing platforms were charging substantial fees that made it difficult for local event organizers to thrive. These costs weren't just impacting the organizers—they were being passed along to you, the event attendees, in the form of added fees and higher ticket prices.

That's when we decided to do things differently. By focusing exclusively on the Des Moines area, we've created a ticketing platform that keeps costs low and supports our local community.

Why Local Matters

When you use eventDSM to purchase tickets, you're supporting more than just an event—you're supporting the entire Des Moines community.

We know many of the organizers using our platform personally. They're our neighbors, our friends, and members of our community creating amazing experiences for all of us.

No Hidden Fees

By keeping our costs low for event organizers, we help ensure you get a better ticket-buying experience without unnecessary fees eating into your budget.
