How do I make more sales

[osd]

I had my business for over 1 1/2 years and now I'm doing extremely poorly with trying to sell enough tickets to run speed dating events.

The last and only successful event was last year when I fully invested myself with Eventbrite, but since I noticed shady behaviour from them (and that 1/4 of the people didnt show up to the one event), I moved on over to ticket tailor and here.

Since then, my sales have dropped signoficantly. When I fully trusted Eventbrite, I had at least 1/3rd to 1/2 the people required to start an event. But now with Square, the numbers I get are worse (about 1/8th of the people required).

I'm probably raising my issue on the worst day since probably everyone is addicted to Taylor Swift and has been feeding her thousands of dollars, yet I only ask for $28-$38 per person per event.

As for efforts, I did everything possible. Ran my own website, put up physical flyers through southern ontario, and I even contacted a local business councellor, and tried social media, all without success.

And on top of that, my website passes tests with flying colours through google's Pagespeed Insights.

As for the venue locations I choose, they're all on bus routes and easily accessible.

What could I be doing wrong? or do I need to somehow figure out how to optimize square's javascript code so it loads faster? because I think alot of people are impatient and want to click the first thing they see without thinking.

Any ideas?
