Bonfire Night is almost upon us! Toffee apples and jacket potatoes, bonfires and fireworks! Make your Guy Fawkes Night an unforgettable one and forgo the door-to-door begging. If you need to raise funds, take the modern route: print brilliant full-color Event Tickets and publicity on-line.

Pre-event publicity encompasses three tiers. For tightly-focused marketing to an existing mailing list, you can print Guy Fawkes Invitations, just the thing for drawing a proper crowd. Posters and Fliers allow you to advertise to a wider audience, reaching supporters you never knew about. Hang them in shop windows with the owner’s permission, and cover the city centre with your big announcement.
General Admission Tickets and VIP Passes allow you to control the crowd, and Drink Tickets are an ideal way to earn a little more money for your organisation. You can sell them in advance or at the event. They keep your queues short and orderly and your vendors at ease. Selling more than drinks? Customise your Event Kit by printing multiple tickets for several sale items!
When the weather gets cold, manufacture your own heat. Just start gathering wood and printing Event Tickets. Let your Guy Fawkes bonfire light up the night with traditional treats and festivities, and let your Event Kit design speak for itself.

Autumn is upon us and with it, the anticipation of colourful leaves, crisp apples, chilling winds, and foggy, moonlit nights, just right for zombies, ghouls, and other unspeakable creatures from the darkness.
But have no fear of the undead! Rather, treat them with the respect they deserve–as splendid opportunities to host fancy dress parties and outrageous fundraisers! Dream up a terrifying haunted house or a screamingly appropriate Halloween dance, and make the most of the season. With dozens of spooky Event Tickets to choose from, you can always choose the perfect design.

Take charge of Mischief Night by gathering all your mischief-makers in one place. Print Posters and Invitations along with your Event Tickets and make sure everyone arrives at the party!

It’s the season for tricks and treats, but you’ll find no pranks when you print tickets for your seasonal celebration, just treats for your eyes and the delighted eyes of your guests.

Yes, this is the Event Ticket Blog, but what about those moments leading up to your event. Even before you begin selling Event Tickets, you must consider the factors that will encourage your guests to attend. How will you inform others of the gathering? How can you frame the event in such terms that it appears exciting and desirable to attend? Poster and Flyers are a good way to blanket an area with publicity, but suppose you want a more tightly focused campaign. You need to target individuals. You need to speak directly to your strongest boosters, those most likely to attend.
In small and close-knit organisations, word-of-mouth can take you quite far. Perhaps everyone already knows that your gala will be the event of the year. Still, a little reminder can’t hurt! You may already be reaching your supporters through a weekly or monthly newsletter, sent by post or over email. Perhaps you have an active website where members of your group can regularly look for relevant news.
These methods still do not target individuals. Important guests may not realize that they are expected to attend, or may not read every word of your website or newsletter. If you really want to reach everyone, you need to reach out to everyone. If you are not making use of your mailing list, you’re missing a golden opportunity to draw supporters to you. That’s where individual Invitations come in.
When you need to sell Event Tickets, you need to tap those who are most likely to buy. You need to tap them directly on the shoulder, and you can do that remotely when you print Invitations that match your General Admission Tickets and other publicity materials. Sending these focused Invitations out to your group makes it more likely that your supporters will buy tickets to your event. You already have their names and addresses. Sending an Invitation to their door makes a more personal plea, one that is hard to ignore. An Invitation that arrives in the mail suggests a sense of inclusion and helps your members feel closer to and wanted by the organisation.
Invitations also help your guests remember to RSVP or buy tickets, mark their calenders, tell their friends, and develop a sense of excitement regarding the upcoming event. You can provide all the details in one place and limit confusion.
Invitations! When you want to bring people together, it’s the way to go!

Customisation You like to put your personal stamp on everything you do, and who can blame you? If you’re proud of your work, you want the world to know. And if your name, or your favourite organisation’s name is to appear on something, you want it to represent your own standards of excellence.
For this reason, we make it simple to customise every time you print your own Event Tickets. Our ticket templates all provide sample text, so you have plenty of space to construct your own personal message. Whatever you need to say, we can help you say it. Our Flyers, Posters, and Invitations all have many lines so you’ll never run out of space. Even our General Admission and Event Tickets allow to you get all the details down: time, place, cost, along with event title, organisation name, and more!
If you need a higher level of customisation, you’ll love image upload templates. Many of our Event Tickets and most of our Posters and Flyers allow you to add any image from your own computer. Adding sponsor logos ensures that your benefactors will support you year after year. Uploading photographs of speakers, artists, or musicians allows for visual recognition of your program. Or, you can choose images that appeal to you and your audience.
While you’re responsible for obeying copyright laws, any image for which you hold the rights, or have permission to use, can be the right image for you. When you print your own Event Tickets, you deserve a final product that’s perfect. Whatever you imagine can be reality when you add your own text and images to the design that sings to you!

It is that time again, that very special time of year when summer holidays come to a close, children return to the schoolyard, and adults breathe a collective sigh of relief. Unless, of course, the adults are school administrators, in which case, they’re only just begun!
If your job requires you to plan events for children and young people in conjunction with an educational institution, you may want to peruse the database at UK Ticket Printing for ideas and to find Event Tickets and matching publicity materials, including Posters, Fliers, and Invitations!
School dances and theatrical events can really benefit from the right Event Kit. Advertising these events well in advance helps generate excitement and stimulates ticket sales. Important matches between athletic clubs are another brilliant opportunity for your school. You can earn more money for your budget while providing your students with healthy, appropriate, and exciting entertainment amongst their peers.
Commencement ceremonies are another excellent opportunity for choosing Event Tickets, and there are many graduation Event Tickets from which to choose. You may decide on full-colour printing, or black and white designs. Most likely, you will want matching Invitations. Students can order them and send them by post to friends and family, or hand-deliver them to share their good news.
For every age group, for every event, a proper Event Ticket is just waiting for you!

Are you sporty? Your fabulous ticket girl is not. She is lucky if she can walk in a straight line without tripping over an ant. But this must not keep me from showcasing some of the brilliant athletic-themed tickets available for your club or team’s big event.
First up, of course, is football, and it doesn’t matter whether you favor Liverpool or Manchester U. This colourful Football Event Kit is an image upon which everyone can agree. For matches or fundraisers, it’s a clever way to publicise and sell your event.

If football isn’t your game, perhaps you’d prefer some good, old-fashioned rugby? Rugby league or rugby union, it makes no difference. Fine design doesn’t quibble with rules. It just sits quietly, looking good, and helping you sell tickets. This particular Rugby Flyer allows you to upload sponsor logos, team images, or other pictures from your computer.

Finally, today, let’s take a look at the Cricket Event Kit. Your fabulous ticket girl has never studied the Laws of Cricket, but she knows the Laws of Event Printing. Stunning design attracts attention, and the sharp contrast of green and black in this one will have the fans taking notice.

Of course, you can choose from a wide selection of plain athletic Event Kits as well. Just search the massive online gallery at ukticketprinting.co.uk. You’re sure to find something to stand up and cheer for!

We can think of many good things about music! If you’re clever, you can too: it’s a form of expression and communication. It helps joyful times feel more joyful, and it provides a raft that floats you through times of sorrow. In addition, it’s a wonderful way to bring people together. In the spirit of melody, today we examine a few of our favourite music-themed Event Kits.
If you love Rock and Roll, there are a few directions for you. Our standard, and most popular, music design is the Rock Concert Event Kit, featuring a horde of screaming fans waiting for that golden moment when their idols appear on the stage.

However, we also have a new set of coloured Rock Concert Kits, which encapsulate that moment when the band appears before you.
Choose from red, blue, green, or purple!
If this doesn’t suit, perhaps you’d prefer an Alt.Chaos Kit for alternative shows, a Natural Riff Kit for unplugged sets, or even the Heavy Metal Kit, for all your head banging needs.
Perhaps Rock and Roll isn’t your cup of tea? Have no fear. Our massive online gallery includes a Reggae Kit, quite a few Hip Hop designs, an Event Kit for Gospel concerts, along with Jazz, Swing, Disco, and plenty of Classical Music Event Kits as well. If you’re planning any kind of concert, simply enter your search terms and you’ll find a proper Event Kit for your event!

Some events are big business. Fashion shows, gallery openings, trade events. If you’re gathering for the sake of commerce and you intend for your event to lead to sales, or if your business is sponsoring someone else’s event, why not stimulate traffic with Gift Certificates?

Fashion Show Gift Certificate
Some Event Kits are matched to themed Gift Certificates, such as the Fashion Show Gift Certificate above, and tickets in our Nature Series. However, with dozens of designs to choose from, we can help you select and print the proper image for your business. In any event, you can offer Gift Certificates for sale, or you can offer them as raffle prizes or other incentives.
What’s the benefit of selling or giving away Gift Certificates? They increase your traffic. When you sell Gift Certificates in your store or at your event, your loyal customers will build your base for you. Everyone who receives a Gift Certificate is a potential new customer, one who might never have frequented your shop otherwise. The same can be said for Gift Certificates won in prize draws or offered to certain visitors. And those lucky individuals who receive your Gift Certificates are likely to spend more than the face value of their gift!
Consider the benefits to business. For your shop or for any event where sales are an issue, printing a series of smart Gift Certificates can only increase your revenue.

A brilliant ticket…. What does that mean?
Companies involved in the printing of event tickets hope you will simply look at their product and say, “Brilliant.” But within the industry, these companies put much effort into all the steps leading up to a a product launch. Long before you’ve surveyed your finished product, UK Ticket Printing has considered how to provide the most splendid General Admission Tickets and Event Kits we can create.
- Design Every ticket begins as an idea in the mind of the designer, who has already taken into account the types of design you need. Our designers are skilled professional artists, working full-time to bring new and innovative images to you and your organisation.
- Features We provide the extras: security features like bar codes and sequential numbering, convenience features like perforated stubs and booklet stapling, and customisation features like personal image upload and all the text space you can possibly fill.
- Card stock All of our products are printed on heavy card stock. Depending on the type of ticket you need, you can choose from among several thicknesses, but all our paper products are strong, high-quality items, ensuring your order arrives sturdy and stays that way.
- Printing With high-resolution digital printing, you know that your designs and your custom image uploads will be rendered in full detail. Bright colours and full bleed printing really make your tickets stand out in a crowd. Our process lets us provide 24 hour turnaround on most orders!
Well, now you know. Brilliant tickets have so much more going for them than the approval your customers will provide when you start selling. Brilliant tickets require quality workmanship, attention to detail, and pride in the finished product.
