This feature requires an active Instagram business account, and it must be connected to a Facebook page. This feature won't share any personal event organizer or attendee data with Instagram.

Optional: Disconnect your account
Requirements
To use this feature, you'll need to connect your Eventbrite account to your Instagram account.
Instagram Business account requirements
You must have an active business Instagram account. If you don't have a business account yet, go to the Instagram app and switch your account to a business account.
Your Instagram account must also be connected to a Facebook page, and you must be an admin of that page. Log in to Facebook and connect your Facebook page and Instagram account.
Permissions needed to post
When you first connect your social media accounts, there will be a list of required permissions. This includes permission for Eventbrite to view your social media profile and post from your account.
When you give permission to access your Facebook pages, only select pages that are connected to Instagram Business accounts.
If you don't give Eventbrite the required permissions, the app may not work correctly. To update your permissions, disconnect the app and reconnect.
