Special Events, Special Passes

How many Event Tickets does one promoter need?

The larger your event, the greater the possibilities, and the more options you, the savvy promoter, will want to offer. This doesn’t just include no-brainers like an open-air patio for smokers or meat-free dining options for vegetarians. Sometimes, a single level of Event Tickets, or even two levels, such as General Admission and VIP, are just not enough.

What if, for instance, you’re promoting a 3-day music festival? Some die hard fans will certainly buy an inclusive 3-day pass, but some of your guests may have to work on Fridays and only be able to attend 2 days of the event. Others may be coming to see only a single band, or have limited funds, and wish to purchase admission for only a single day of the event. Are you offering various levels of ticket with scaled pricing? If not, you may be losing this last group. A tiered system of Event Tickets can help you sell more.

How about publicity? Are you offering special passes to the media? From national reporters to local bloggers, representatives of the media can offer you lots of extra exposure, and you can help them help you with specially marked passes letting your staff and performers know that they’re media representatives and should be treated nicely and provided extra access.

Are you running extra promotions, such as tie-ins with a local radio station? If you have a handful of contest winners who will be allowed behind the scenes, you can give them special tickets to denote their status. You may even want scaled levels of backstage passes: one for performers, one for staff, one for volunteers, and one for other VIPs. It increases your security levels and keeps your event safer.

You can keep everyone straight by offering different Event Tickets for different groups. Or, for greater organisation, you can try colorful Event Wristbands, which allow you to identify individual access levels at a glance. However you organise it, offering multiple types of Event Tickets for the same event is a key to a fabulous event.

Event Ticket Checklist

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.

Well in hand

I did promise to keep you informed of new products soon to be available for your events, so here is a sneak peak at the future. I can’t say when, precisely, but I can say what, why, and how: Event Wristbands to maintain security at large events to be easily obtained from UK Ticket Printing.

These are high-quality, recyclable synthetic fabric bracelets that can be printed to match the rest of the publicity materials for your event. Your staff simply wraps one around the customer’s wrist, and it stays on until they cut it off. You can easily identify who has paid the price of admission, or who is old enough or tall enough for certain portions of the entertainment, or who belongs backstage. No need to check IDs or watch your guests fumble with ticket stubs.

Event Wristbands are durable and waterproof, so they stay put even if your event is rained upon, or lasts three days, or involves repeated dunking in some body of water. Plus, they’re ten inches long, with a strong adhesive strip, so they work for everyone from the smallest child to the largest bloke. It just makes sense, if you’re promoting a large event, especially if the event is outdoors, spread over multiple locations, or segregated by age or some other factor.

Well, then, I shall be sure to let you know when this product is available, and of course, I will be the first to inform you of other interesting new developments around here. Until then, I’ll just…wrap it up!

By the Numbers

ticketprinting — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 23:20:24 +0000

It’s just a little thing: Individual numbering on General Admission Tickets for events. You probably don’t notice those digits at all, but they’re more than mere decoration. Those numerals are there to protect you.

Securely numbered tickets help prevent ticket fraud. If every ticket has a unique number, simply copying one ticket becomes fraught with peril. It’s much easier to detect fraud when you know the range of numbers on your tickets. In fact, you can choose the range. If you want to start at 5,847, that’s your business, even if your range will only go up to 5,897. In any case, if someone shows up with ticket number 0005, you can be sure it’s a fake!

You can go even further, reserving certain groups of numbers for certain groups of people. Then you’ll have an even better idea of who is coming through the door. It should be easy to determine whether a ticket holder is entitled to that ticket!

When you print your own event tickets, you want to take every step to ensure the safety and security of your event and your patrons. Unique tickets with interesting designs and secure numbering help you accomplish just that.

Some events require reserved seating, and you can certainly print custom tickets, one for each seat in your auditorium, but perhaps you are hosting some other type of event:

Outdoor concert
Festival seating
Charity fund raiser
School dance
Private party

You won’t have a one-to-one correlation between seats and tickets. You’ll want to check at the door to take make sure each ticket is genuine. Printing your own event tickets with individual numbering helps you do just that.

Secure numbering is just one of the many benefits of using beautiful ticket templates to create your own event and general admission tickets online. You can count on it!

The ubiquitous stub

ticketprinting — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 18:05:09 +0000

It’s never a rip-off!Most good event tickets come with a perforated ticket stub, which detaches easily to keep patrons moving through the door. Your ticket taker must stay sharp on her feet. There may be a crowd of eager folks queued up for entry at the door of the theatre or disco. They want to come inside and enjoy the show, and you want them to come inside, but you can’t afford any mistakes, either.

When you print distinctive tickets, your door person can take a quick glance to ascertain that the tickets he’s been handed are genuine. Then what does he do? He rips off the stub and hands it back to the patron. You keep the body of the ticket. You may use this for accounting purposes; it can ensure an accurate headcount for your event. The stub goes back into the patron’s hand.

Then what?

If you’ve chosen reserved seating, that stub tells the usher where to seat each individual
Resolved disputes with ease
Ticket stubs allow patrons to exit and re-enter the venue without confusion or hand stamps
Gate crashers without ticket stubs are easily identified
A pretty ticket stub remains a nice souvenir of a lovely evening

Most ticket stubs are 2 inches long: small enough to slip into a pocket, and large enough to dig out later on. Most ticket stubs are printed with a unique and identifiable design. Most ticket stubs are perforated so a quick flip of the wrist is all it takes to admit one.

It’s the little things that make our lives easier. Let’s hear it for ticket stubs!

Feeling Secure

You don’t want just anyone at your private affairs, do you? That’s why you’re printing event tickets in the first place. “Admit One” means just that: admission is a privilege for the ticket holder. But what if you’re worried about everyone else?

Printing your own tickets gives you a basic sense of security. Even stock designs stand out, and heavy paper has a distinct feel, so counterfeiters have more trouble copying your tickets. Of course, there are free safety features on every ticket, like individual numbering, so you specify which numbers you want in your range. And unique bar codes on the back are standard, just like the colorful watermark that’s hard to copy. You’re never in doubt as to whether or not a ticket is real when you print your own.

And for a little more money, there are thermal tickets. They’re pressure-sensitive, changing color when you rub them with a coin. They change color under ultraviolet lights, too. That’s just a smashing combo, especially if you’re in a disco and you already have a black light to start! A little black light really adds a lovely air to any event, even if it’s just at the door! Thermal tickets even have magnetic striping, in addition to everything else, and extra security numbers on the front and back.

You really can rest assured that nobody’s getting in who doesn’t belong. You just need to find the right ticket for the event.
