This is my favourite line: "You are responsible for obtaining, at your own cost, all third party permissions, clearances, and licenses necessary to secure Eventbrite the permissions and rights described above, and you represent that you have done so." Licensed some background music for your event for that specific use? Think again, from now on you have to license everything for worldwide, unlimited use, just in case Eventbrite wants to maybe make a buck off of it.

Nobody would use Eventbrite with such a clause, as it makes you liable for unforeseen costs. If the third party rights holder gets wind of this, they can charge you whatever they want as you are forced to pay. The obnoxiousness and absurdity of this clause is simply stunning.

Event playing a Beatles song, let's just film it and sell it for money, sucks for you if it costs you a million per play.

Not just in case they want to sell but to also protect them (them selling your event again, is a different story). You hold an event, host it there and they will get sued if you played a Michael Jackson song. All parties are doing it for money so expect no mercy from judges.

Your example would never happen. The TOS is written referring to what it describes as, "The Services," which does not include anything other than what Eventbrite does. This clause is to prevent people from posting copywrited images as their header image and forcing liability onto Eventbrite.
