Let’s face it: things can get a little dodgy in your office. Projects become overwhelming, or fall through the cracks. Everyone’s carrying a heavy work load, or else trying to steal someone else’s assignments. Event planning isn’t quite the walk through the park you’d expected. Have no fear! Just avoid the following foul-ups and it’s smooth sailing for your event!

Top Ten Mistakes in Event Ticket Printing

  • 10: Loved your publicity Posters so much you hung them around the office instead of the City Centre
  • 9: All Invitations were accidentally addressed “Dear Dr. Moneybags”
  • 8: Not a lot of interest in your Dumpster Diving with the Stars Dinner Dance
  • 7: Lost your speakers’ head shots; uploaded images of LOLcats to all your Flyers instead
  • 6: Camouflage themed Event Kit a poor choice for Vegans against War Rally
  • 5: Issued VIP Passes to random homeless people just to make sure the event was well-attended
  • 4: Dates printed on your General Admission Tickets were accidentally calculated with a Julian Calendar
  • 3: To save money, you decided to re-use the extra Event Tickets from last year, confusion ensues
  • 2: Set your spell-checker to German while filling out the ticket template
  • 1: Forgot to get the best quality and value for your money at UKTicketPrinting.co.uk!

Now that we’ve cleared up that muddle, you can get on with your business. Plan the best event your group has ever seen, and we’ll print the best Event Kits money can buy!

Summer Breeze

by ticketprinting on August 20, 2009

As the sweetest season dwindles down, our thoughts turn to wishes, hopes, and dreams. It’s a time of nostalgia and fantasy, and especially, a time for squeezing the last delicious drops of nectar from from the months of holidays and warm weather. In the spirit of August, amongst the back-to-school signs in shop windows and sudden transformation of deciduous trees, your fabulous ticket girl presents her summer fantasy event ideas!

Why have I not been invited to the following parties?

  • Hawaiian Luau A party on the beach, complete with roasted pig, drumming, and fire dancing. Required attire includes grass skirts, coconut bras, and flower leis. Drinks to be served inside of hollowed-out pineapples, with tiny umbrellas and fresh fruit skewered on plastic sword.
  • The Caravan Modern nomads turn up for an impromptu festival in the forest under the full moon. Tarot is thrown, palms are read, and dancing is accomplished with abandon, around a well-tended campfire.
  • The Ultimate Pub Quiz Grab a pint and prepare to test your knowledge of all things trivial. But this is no ordinary pub quiz! Dance-off, sudden death rounds, and mandatory shots for high scorers transform an ordinary night with friends into a night to remember.
  • Fancy Dress Charity Ball I long to dress up in an outrageous costume, don a fancy mask, and dance the entire night to live music. A mysterious stranger spins and dips me under the starlit sky, all while supporting a worthy cause.
  • The Scavenger Hunt Armed with a list of improbable settings and a camera-phone, teams of young people run madly through the town. Their mission: be the first to photograph team members with local icons, landmarks, or in any other funny situations you dream up.

So, quick! While there’s still time! Begin planning your end-of-summer party so you can print out Event Tickets, Posters, and Invitations. And please send mine, care of your fabulous ticket girl, The Event Ticket Blog.

Event Tickets for Domestic Renewal

by ticketprinting on June 29, 2009

Is your life lacking in thrills, chills, and romance? Do you pine for glamour? Complication? A little recognition? Did you realize that you could use Event Tickets to turn your workaday moments into a brilliant parody of the good life? No? Well, allow your fabulous ticket girl to introduce you to more creative uses for Event Tickets!

Whilst cooking the evening meal, perhaps you feel that your culinary skills are unappreciated. Well, of course they are. Your family takes you for granted because you serve their dinner without fanfare. They know they will be fed if they merely show up. Make them work for their meals in advance. Sell Event Tickets for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Those attempting to eat without presenting the appropriate documentation must do the washing up.

If your nightly routine involves gathering around the telly, liven up the living room by rolling out the red carpet in the hallway and selling Event Tickets to those who want a seat on the couch. Every night becomes Hollywood premiere night. Specify black tie and ticket holders will be forced to dress for the occasion or turned away at the door. If you wish, make some extra money selling popcorn.

Perhaps you are annoyed by constant interruptions at work. Print your own Event Tickets, good for fifteen minutes of face time. Your boss can’t give you a negative performance review if he hasn’t purchased a ticket in advance! When useless co-workers attempt to invade your office, simply lie and explain, “I’m quite sorry, but this event has been sold out for weeks. We simply don’t have space.”

Of course, you can still choose to design and print your own Event Tickets for traditional events such as charity fundraisers, fancy dress parties, and sporting events. Whatever your needs, UK Ticket Printing can help you create the perfect Event Ticket, with a design sure to stir the heart and the spirit. Even if that event is a walk to the park.

What’s the worst that could happen?

by ticketprinting on May 29, 2009

From our correspondents in far-flung locations such as Stoke-on-Trent, Merthyr Tydfil, the Mormaerdom of Mearns, and Rathfriland, we bring you the inconclusive list of event ticket mishaps. Names have been changed to protect the innocent. We would never, ever, call attention to the failings of our competitors.

4 Reasons to Print Your Event Tickets with the Industry Leader:

The perforations were just drawn in! Nicola J. writes, “For our yearly Black and White Gala [our organisation] decided to save money by ordering admission tickets from a questionable source. We thought we were ordering tickets with perforated stubs. We didn’t imagine there could be a difference in event tickets. Picture our chagrin, when the guests arrived, and the stubs simply wouldn’t detach easily. The perforations were just drawn in! Our volunteers had to resort to bending, tearing, and cutting tickets stubs. It was awful! The line backed up out the door and around the city centre! Never again will we sacrifice quality for cost.”

You never saw such a donnybrook! Charles P. writes, “Community theatre is meant to bring people together, but shoddy ticket printing nearly tore our community apart. Imagine, if you will, the brouhaha involved in tickets printed with non-sequential numbers. We never had any idea how many seats had sold or how many people to expect. One night we played to an empty house. The next night, we found we had sold two thousand seats, and our fire code permits only three hundred people in the audience. You never saw such a donnybrook! There was fighting in the aisles, in the footlights, in the orchestra pit. Next time, we will order our tickets from professionals and be assured of numbers we can count on!”

The dangers of substandard stapling Beth L. writes, “I still shudder at the memory of that dreadful night. We had ordered three thousand tickets to our parish’s summer festival, conveniently stapled into booklets of one hundred. But no sooner had [the administrator] opened the box, then she began screaming. The staple tips, rather than being folded neatly over themselves, came sticking out straight and sharpened to points, and within moments, our front office was covered in blood. Everyone who approached the tickets was maimed, and we all needed tetanus jabs. Needless to say, the summer festival was canceled and the children were devastated. Who knew the dangers of substandard stapling? This year, we shall have our tickets stapled by experts.”

We didn’t ask about card stock! James A. “It should have been a simple affair, just a small run of novelty tickets for my nephew’s birthday party. We didn’t ask about card stock. We didn’t think it mattered. Well, it did. Our tickets were printed on tissue-thin paper. In fact, they were printed on Kleenex. The dog sneezed once. Our entire investment was destroyed.”

So there you have it: the foibles of ordering event tickets from untrustworthy sources. But you can learn from others’ mistakes. Eliminate mishaps, missteps, and mistakes! Don’t let these common problems plague your event. When you order from UK Ticket Printing, you know you’re ordering satisfaction and tickets held to a higher standard.
