Event Ticket Checklist

by ticketprinting on October 24, 2009

Here’s a time-saver. Think you’re ready to print your own Event Tickets online? Don’t waste your time until you’re sure!

While it’s always fun to look at designs and debate which ones you’d choose, it’s simply quite disappointing when you start to mock up your ticket proofs and realize that you’re not certain about some of the details that should appear on the ticket.

Here’s what you’ll need to know:

  • Sponsor names (your organisation as well as other sponsors)
  • Event name (you’d be surprised at how long it may take to decide!)
  • Event date and time (double check–you don’t want to get this wrong!)
  • Event location (should be easy, but again, double check)
  • Ticket price (especially if your price structure reflects different levels)
  • Numbering (this can be a security feature to prevent ticket fraud)
  • Other security features (determine in advance whether you need to watch for fraud)
  • Images (if your Event Tickets are to include custom images, be sure they are chosen and available in a standard format, like a .jpg; it’s also helpful if they are already cropped to be square)
  • Paper (there are a few types to choose from; do the research first)
  • Shipping (when do you need your tickets and will you pay extra for fast shipping?
  • Payment (this can be the hardest decision of all in some organisations)

Once you’ve sorted all these matters out, you’re ready! Select the design that appeals to you. Enter your event details and relax while your Event Tickets are printed and shipped to you.

Best Face Forward

by ticketprinting on February 19, 2009

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
  • Posters and Fliers
  • Event T-shirts!

What more could a publicist ask for?

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

Fine design redux

by ticketprinting on December 20, 2008

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.

Fine Design

by ticketprinting on December 17, 2008

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.
