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.

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!
