Sell Tickets For An Event In Three Simple Steps

Sell Tickets For An Event In Three Simple Steps

Have an event you are trying to sell tickets for but are not sure how to go about it. Don’t try to just sell tickets at the door, capitalize on your market and start selling online! Here is how to sell tickets for an event in three simple steps.

1. Find A Ticketing System That Works Well For You

The trickiest part about selling tickets online is finding the right ticketing system to do it with. You are probably thinking “that doesn’t sound right, there are plenty of ticketing systems available to me.” While this may be true, it also means you have a lot of choices to sift through.

Many people will just go with the large, well-known ticketing systems and try to sell tickets on Ticketmaster or Eventbrite. Although they may be well-known, it doesn’t mean that they will be the best option for you.

Take Ticketmaster for example, it is set up to work well for larger events but is not very user-friendly for small event-holders. Plus, their customer support line is notorious for being slow to respond to small event-holders.

Therefore, you should take the time to check out all your options to see what will work best for you. We have found that ticketing systems like TicketsCandy often work well for smaller and larger events in case your event begins to expand.

2. Find A Merchant Provider

A merchant account is what allows you to process customer payments. So, it is quite necessary. Look for one that works well with the ticketing system you chose. Some common merchant providers include Square, Paypal, and Stripe.

3. Build A Premium Website

Your ticketing system needs a home to live in so that people can purchase tickets from it. That home is your website.

The quality of your website is key in how successfully you will sell your tickets. If it is not user-friendly and takes a long time to load, people will not take the time to try to navigate and figure out where to buy tickets. Plus, if it is not SEO friendly, they may not be able to find the website at all. So be sure to build a premium website and have a good ticketing system and merchant provider. If you do you’ll be selling tickets in no time.
