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.

Do you look good in print? Smart consumers are impressed with smart faces. Public perception of your organisation is determined in large part by presentation, and the first image you will present to the public will be visual. If you are selling any event, large or small, your publicity materials will tell the world all about your standards.

Event Tickets are one brick in that facade. When you choose high-quality designs, you are saying that your standards are high. You expect the best from those with whom you do business, and you deliver the best to your customers. When one purchases a General Admission Ticket to an upcoming event and sees original design in full colour and high resolution, anticipation of a well-planned and executed event is heightened.

When that General Admission Ticket matches posters, fliers, invitations, and other advance publicity materials, that expectation is sharpened. Looking smashing is half the battle.

If you are the type who expects excellence, you are sure to choose excellence to express yourself. Finding a proper design is a simple way to communicate these values to the world. You can spend a few moments browsing through an online gallery and choose an image that speaks your message. You can even customise that design by adding your own business logo, or any visual file from your computer.

Print your own Event Tickets and show the world you mean business!

What’s in your event? If you’re like me, it’s your heart and soul. Whatever the reason for your gathering–conviviality, charity, social issues–you care deeply about the group that is to gather. You want everyone to feel comfortable. You want everyone to have as much fun as they can, or to be as productive as possible. You want things to run smoothly. You know that your events reflect on you. You want them to reflect well.

I pay attention to detail. That’s why I choose to print my own professional, affordable Event Kits. My General Admission Tickets, Reserved Seating Tickets, and VIP Passes have to look great. They speak to the success of my event before I open the doors, and I care that they speak well. That’s what I love about matching Event Kits selected for their beauty and relevance to my affair. They create a lovely and enviable sense of anticipation well in advance of the party. I can even find posters, fliers, invitations, and more publicity materials in the same design.

My tickets set the stage for my events. Yours can too. It’s easy to do a search for relevant keywords. Christmas? Hip Hop? Classic Cars? You can find what you’re looking for, and if you can’t find it, you can use your own images to create the perfect ticket, either with our DIY tool or by choosing to have a talented designer put the ticket together for you. It’s almost too easy. You may find yourself planning galas well in advance when you see all your options. You can print the right ticket faster than you can blog about it!

Who said event planning had to be a burden? Put the fun back into fund raising (or conferences and conventions, or huge social gatherings, or small, intimate theatre) with fantastic tickets for every occasion.

First impressions: we can’t help but form them, and we can’t help that others will form them about us. What we can help is what information we provide onlookers, the bare bones data on which they will base their impressions of us.

I like to look sharp, but I’ll admit it: I’m the type of girl who’s liable to step out wearing mismatched socks. For me, it’s much easier to get things right in print. Lucky for you, getting things right in print is a snap when you choose a ticket design that’s part of a matching Event Kit.

Imagine, never having do wonder, “Does this font look good with this image?” Not only does choosing the right ticket design online ensure that professional artists have already solved that problem, it also allows for the possibility of choosing entire matching publicity kits with the same fonts and designs throughout. This offers you instant recognition when potential patrons have their attention arrested by a poster that looks very much like those enticing event tickets they just saw on their neighbor’s refrigerator.

What matches?

• General Admission Tickets
• Reserved Seating Tickets
• Concert Series Tickets
• VIP Tickets and Backstage Passes
• Raffle Tickets and Drink Tickets
• Postcards and Invitations

What more could a publicist ask for?

Matching Event Kits to your ticket design takes the guesswork out of pre-event publicity.

Or do it for me?Either way, you know you will receive precisely what you want. That’s the inherent beauty of custom work. It costs a little more (just a little more, mind you), but you end up with exactly the right thing. If you can’t find the right design in the template gallery, don’t despair. The tickets delivered to your door can match the tickets in your imagination. Whether you chose Custom tickets or Design Your Own tickets, you’ll be one satisfied customer.

What’s the difference?

If you’re artistic and willing to spend a little time on your own design, the Design Your Own tool is for you! Choose your own colors and lay out your own text. Upload the logos, icons, or photographs that best reflect your organization or event. Add ticket stubs for re-entry, bar codes for security, or make your tickets two-sided to fit all your sponsors’ information. There are plenty of options. Bring your dreams to life! The online design tool is user-friendly and should be familiar to anyone who uses computers to work with images.

Perhaps you are not the creative type. You may have an idea of what type of image, color, text, or size you desire, but have no knowledge of layout or design. You need not worry! You’ll find custom work surprisingly affordable. Yes, you can hire your very own professional artist to create your masterwork! It’s four-steps easy.

1. Get a quote online or call toll-free
2. Place your order online
3. Upload any images or files you want incorporated

It’s that simple! You answer 10 questions and talented designers will mock up your tickets. You have the final say, so there’s no doubt it will be right. Once your approve the tickets, they will be printed and shipped right to your home or business in just a few days.

Still not sure? Why not start out by having a little fun and playing with the system? There’s no obligation to buy your proofs. You’ll be amazed at how easy it is to print perfect tickets that perfectly suit your needs.

Here’s how we do it. Printing our own event tickets: it works for community theatre; it works for large a cappella choirs; it works for your child’s grade three Christmas pageant.

Let’s say my mate’s band booked a swank New Year’s gig in Bristol and it’s meant to be a posh, plummy, and exclusive affair. They don’t want just anyone coming through the door. Let’s help them mock up their admission tickets.

First, I’d choose something with a great rock theme, like the Alt.Chaos ticket, with its screaming face and blue guitar. Then it’s as easy as filling in the blanks.

• 1. The Barley Mints (the band)
• 2. December 31 (the date)
• 3. £25 (the price of admission)
• 4. Doors open at 7 (the time)
• 5. First Night Revelry (the event)
• 6. +44 (0)117 944-4497 (the phone number)
• 7. Club UK (the venue)
• 8. 00001 (the first ticket number)

I still have to choose what kind of paper you want, but the web site will help me! I choose how many tickets I want to print, whether to staple the ticket books, and how many tickets in each book.

Finally, I choose whether or not I want extra security features on the back of the ticket, like bar codes or the band logo. From there, I view my proof to make sure it’s spot-on before I buy it. The tickets get shipped out fast, within a couple days, so the band can start selling the event right away.

See? Simple!

For some reason, I can’t stop thinking about scrap booking. I’m not the kind of person who buys little themed cardboard cutouts, word bubble stickers, and star-shaped hole-punchers to adorn my holiday snaps. I do arrange photographs in acid-free archival albums, though, and I save little mementos to adorn the pictures. Event programs, ticket stubs, seating cards, and even fancy printed cocktail napkins make the best decorations.

I guess that’s why I like the idea of printing event tickets with just the right image. If my friends and I dress up and attend a charity ball, we’re sure to bring our cameras, and even though we’re shooting digital these days, we still print out the best shots. Our photo albums look even better, since we’re making more conscious decisions about what goes inside. And cool tickets tie it all together. I love the ones that let users upload their own images, so there are recognizable and memorable logos or head shots right there on the ticket.

When you’re putting a photo album together, if you have your ticket stub, you don’t even have to date the page. You just slip the ticket next to the picture. And if your snapshots only show you and your fabulous friends, your tickets give a little glimpse of what else went on that night.

• Date & time
• Location
• Event name
• Sponsor or charity
• Band, musician, or entertainer
• Team names

It’s all there.

Plus, if the tickets have a wonderful design, you just don’t need the cute cardboard cutouts.

The Victorians kept scrapbooks, the concept of colour printing being something of a novelty in their greyer world. The beautiful images we take for granted today, for instance, in print advertisements, were once modern marvels to be cherished, collected, and admired.

Can we rekindle this love of fine design and learn to see with fresh eyes? At UK Ticket Printing, hundreds of stunning images turn your average, workaday event ticket into tiny work of art. How can your patrons fail to get excited when a beautiful design reminds them of the fun in store for those who attend your event?

I love the Mask Ticket, for example. It’s just a simple Venetian mask in red, gold, and black, but for me it conjures up so many wonderful theater experiences. The mask is a symbol of mystery and transformation, and whether you’re putting on Shakespeare or a fancy dress ball, it’s a wonderful symbol of a magical evening.

The Yellow Rose and Red Rose Tickets offer up a sumptuous glimpse into the intricate heart of a gorgeous flower, just like the work of Georgie O’Keeffe. There are tickets with images of cars and motorcycles to make a mechanic’s mouth water, and abstract designs in a rainbow of colours.

I like to look around the gallery and remind myself how lucky we are to live in the twenty-first century, where lovely colour printing is commonplace and affordable.
