event registration sites

I am looking into web-based event registration sites: sites like Eventbrite.com and meetup.com where you can post information about an event and allow people to register there. I've done some cursory testing and found the usual assortment of defects (incorrect use of headings is always common) but I'd love to hear about actual real-life use of these with screen readers, keyboard-only, text-to-speech, etc.

Have you been able to use Eventbrite or meetup (or another event site) to successfully sign-up for events? Have you ever created an event yourself? Were there any particular pain points that you recall? Your anecdotes are welcome!

Thank you!
