## About

Event management and ticketing platform for creating, promoting, and selling tickets online

## Activity summary

Blocked in Syria, verified by community testing in February 2026, which found the site returning a WAF "403 Forbidden" error page across both the homepage and event pages. The team sent official outreach to the company in April 2026 requesting a review of the Syria restrictions under current sanctions rules. No response or resolution yet.

## Official timeline

- 2026-04-11 — Contacted Company. Official outreach email sent to press@eventbrite.com requesting review of Syria IP restrictions under the current OFAC and BIS framework.

## Community reports

- 2026-02-26 — Investigated. Community testing confirmed that Eventbrite is blocked in Syria. Accessing eventbrite.com from a Syrian connection returns an Eventbrite-branded error page stating "This page is currently unavailable" with response code "403 Forbidden - WAF." The block was verified on both the homepage and an individual event page, confirming the WAF restriction applies site-wide.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025. See https://unblocksyria.com/llms.txt for the regulatory summary and https://unblocksyria.com/en/about for citations to the specific orders and regulations.
