The Party of the Year

by ticketprinting on March 28, 2011

In the US, students completing high school are showered with praise and feted for weeks with formal matriculation, dances, parties, and other events that celebrate their achievement. According to School Standards Minister, David Miliband, “English teenagers could benefit from school graduation ceremonies.” Celebrating the completion of secondary school or Sixth Form can be a lovely way to motivate students to remain in school until their eighteenth birthday and should become more common as the new laws go into effect.

Even if you this tradition does not catch on, you can still help students celebrate their achievement with a graduation party for your accomplished teens. After all, anyone who makes it through their A levels deserves a party! Whether you hold it in a gymnasium or a pub, your students will enjoy a chance to relax after all their hard work!

And your school can earn a little money to cover the expense of the party and to tuck away for next year by selling tickets to the event. Simply book a popular local band or DJ, finances permitting, or else hire a teen with a loaded iPod to cover the music. Lay out some snacks and drink, clear the floor for dancing, and you’ve created a night they can remember forever.

Print your own event tickets with matching publicity posters to create a marketing strategy. Add to the excitement and the profits when you purchase matching raffle tickets for a prize draw to be held at the end of the party. The more interest you can raise, the more admission tickets you can sell, and the more money you can earn. Meanwhile, these young adults will be able to celebrate in a safe environment.

The Intimate Gathering

by ticketprinting on February 5, 2010

Add a little extra spice to intimate gatherings with professional print products! Beautiful, high-resolution Event Kits are not simply for massive galas and celebrations. Fast, inexpensive, and easy to customise, they are the perfect solution for your own parties.

  • Birthdays
  • Anniversaries
  • Family Reunions
  • Seasonal Celebrations
  • Barbecues
  • Any time you want to gather your friends!

Printing your own Invitations injects an air of elegance to your party. Even a small cocktail or dinner party with a dozen guests can benefit. Imagine your friends’ amusement when you mail them a professionally printed invitation to your next Sunday brunch.

Use matching Posters or Flyers to decorate the house for childrens’ parties. If you expect many children, Drink Tickets can help keep the queue orderly for buffet style meals or desserts. Numbered tickets are another way to rein in the chaos. Simply call the numbers before each child steps up to the table. Or, if there are to be games with prizes, you can print those up on small tickets and ask the child to hold on to the ticket until the end of the game or party, at which time it can be traded for the prize. Printed tickets with names and dates also make lovely souvenirs.

Use your imagination and you’ll find dozens of uses for the wonderful Event Ticket!

Brainstorm

by ticketprinting on September 11, 2009

Let’s start at the very beginning. There are those who always know what they’re about, whose ideas flow like wine and always look as sparkling in execution as they do in conception. And then there are the rest of us. Perhaps we’ve found ourselves heading up a committee, and now we must plan a party for young people, or a charity fund raiser.

Believing in the cause is not enough. You need ideas! Long before you print your own Event Tickets, you need to plan your event.

What do your guests want? Believe it or not, the best way to determine this fact is to act your potential guests. Perhaps you’ve been worrying about hiring the coolest band to play a dance for teenagers. Why not try asking the teens what they want? They may name a local group you can afford, or you may learn that they would vastly prefer a proper DJ, or even that they’d rather you save the money for snacks and simply install one of their own number in the DJ booth with an iPod!

The same goes for for charity benefits. Just because your organisation has always held a posh gala in a museum or hotel ballroom does not mean that is the best solution. Start asking questions! You may learn that supporters wish to scale down to a less expensive venue, or that they’d prefer a family-friendly gathering in the park or at the beach. Especially when times are tight, traditional solutions may not be the best.

Planning events is hard enough without having to guess at your guests preferences. Don’t just print Event Tickets without thinking things through! Send out surveys over email, ring up some vocal supporters, or add the question to your meeting’s agenda. Give your supporters exactly what they want!

Back to School

by ticketprinting on August 28, 2009

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!

Be Creative

by ticketprinting on June 12, 2009

Create possibility! Event Tickets aren’t merely for theatres and music festivals. Beautiful, custom-printed General Admission Tickets can serve myriad purposes, if only you stop and think about it. These tickets come in several sizes, with or without perforated stubs. Many tickets allow you to add your own custom images right to the ticket template. What creative uses can you put them to?

  • Children’s parties Let your Event Tickets double as Event Invitations. Add the date, time, and location of the party, along with the words “You’re Invited” and other pertinent details and your tickets can do double duty while delighting the kids.
  • Incentives Perforated stub tickets have individual numbers printed on the body and the stub. Why not reward customers with a ticket when they spend a certain amount of money? Then, they can redeem tickets for goods or services, and you can prevent fraud by keeping track of the stubs!
  • Fair share If the cost of admission includes extras like lunch or gift bags, Tickets with stubs can work twice at one event. Tear off the stub when your guest enters, then have them turn over the body of the ticket in exchange for food or prizes.
  • Vanity Use the upload an image feature to make custom souvenirs for parties, graduations, and other memorable event. Just add a head shot of the guest of honor along with the important information and you have a keepsake worth saving.

These are just a few ideas. Keep visiting the Event Ticket Printing blog for more tips on getting the most out of your order. Remember, when you print your own Event Tickets, you’re the boss. Put your tickets to work for you!

Remember the children

by ticketprinting on January 13, 2009

How about youth sport?If we want to encourage children to maintain active lifestyles whilst enjoying fresh air, healthy camaraderie, and friendly competition, what can we do to encourage them? Perhaps it’s only a small step, but printing tickets for children’s sport events in the UK may be a step in the right direction.

For athletic clubs and school activities, we can encourage young people to take their physical activity seriously by demonstrating that we take it seriously ourselves. Printing and selling tickets for these events is a wonderful way to help show we care and keep everyone looking forward to the future. Tickets are lovely little reminders of upcoming excitement!

What kinds of activities deserve tickets?

  • football
  • rugby
  • gymnastics
  • swimming
  • cricket
  • tennis
  • squash

Any organized spectator sport can be the right occasion for ticket printing.

Whether you’re the director of a popular sport club or an administrator at a school with a strong athletic program, you can show your young athletes that their hard work deserves recognition. Printing your own tickets lets you add a professional feel to the games. Perhaps you are merely distributing them to parents and family friends, but imagine the joy and pride on a child’s face when she sees her team name on a lovely ticket, just like for a professional sporting event.

If you are selling tickets, what better way to get noticed than brightly-colored, customized tickets? Sending your young athletes into the community to sell seats to their own games helps them take ownership of their skills. Your team, school, or organization will stand out from a crowd. You’ll raise funds while encouraging healthy behaviors.

Who knew printing tickets could do so much good in the world?

Back in the day

by ticketprinting on December 15, 2008

When we were little, we weren’t allowed a lot of television (when we were little, there wasn’t all that much of interest to children on the telly, but that’s another story) and we had to entertain ourselves. We didn’t need the television anyway. On long summer days, we put on our own plays.

We wrote our own scripts, of course, and put together costumes from scraps we found in the back of Mum’s closet. Set design was left largely to the imagination, but one thing that seemed as important as the story itself was the tickets we made up and “sold” to our family and friends.

We probably put as much effort into those tickets as we did into rehearsals. Somehow, the ticket was a tangible mark of our intention as well as our audience’s. We would perform; spectators would watch. That was the deal implied by our tickets.

To that end, they had to be beautiful, appropriately decorated with dragons, princesses, knights, and castles. The ticket was the perfect symbol for our imaginations. The play was ephemeral, a fleeting thing ended as we took our final curtain call. The ticket would last.

Tickets can be like that for adults, too. Custom tickets are simple enough for even the mildly creative adult. Digital files provide the appropriate background, and modern fonts let you trumpet your event details.

Offer your fans a great promise and a great deal and put the magic back into your show. Design your own custom tickets!
