What is this charge from Eventbrite? (EB *Charge)

If you see a charge on your statement referencing Eventbrite, it's likely related to tickets for an event listed on Eventbrite.com. The way the charge appears on your statement depends on whether the purchase was made online or on-site at an event. No matter where an event is located, the charge will show “San Francisco” on your statement because that is where Eventbrite is headquartered.
