Although I work on the Internet, I live in the real world. Although most of the words I write appear as pixels on a video monitor, my favorite words are printed in ink on processed wood pulp. Indeed, I love books, and as such, I can’t help loving a book festival!
What a lovely warm-weather event! Any size town can easily host it. First, consider the purveyors of the printed word in your area: newspapers, magazine, book shops, and publishers. Most of these groups will be pleased to participate and even to sponsor the event, as it provides them extra exposure and a simple way to connect with customers. Schools and universities will likely want to get in on the fun, particularly if they have strong writing programs.
Next, you will want to contact any local authors, any authors with ties to your town, and finally, any authors willing to make the journey to your festival. Once you have firm commitments from everyone in the writing industry, you can add all the food vendors and musicians you like! Schedule book signings, public readings, and perhaps a writing contest in advance. If you plan to charge for attendance, start selling Event Tickets in advance. Or, pass them out for free, and get plenty of publicity!
Send Invitations and hang Posters and Fliers about town. Contact all the local media outlets with press releases and, if you can afford it, take out some advertisements as well. Drink Tickets, such as the one reproduces above, are wonderful incentives to encourage festival-goers to attend.
On the day of your book festival, hope for clear skies and pat yourself on the back. You’ve helped save humanity from ignorance and illiteracy, and you’ve provided a wonderful and intelligent day for book lovers everywhere.

Planning a seasonal celebration? Now’s the time time to start printing your Event Tickets and related publicity materials. If Santa Clause is coming to town, make sure he gets word of your big gathering. The old fellow’s busy making a list and checking it twice. The least you can do is help him out with a clearly-worded invitation and other print materials to help everyone find their way to your door.
With lovely designs for every type of gathering, choosing proper Posters is so simple. Is your occasion to be a solemn affair? Sacred and spiritual? Do you favour festive celebrations, or need to please young people? If you want it, you can have it.
Print your own Christmas Event Tickets, Posters, and Invitations in advance. If you are selling Event Tickets, sell more by employing the power of fine design. If you are inviting guests, make sure they mark their calendar and look forward to your party with delightful images worthy to be used as seasonal decorations.
Make this Christmas one to remember. Make it sophisticated and chic, or homey and old-fashioned. Celebrate your way. Print the Event Kits that work for you!

Consider the power of colour: Red, with the ability to send the heart racing; blue, with its pacific calming effect. Purple is the colour of royalty. Green has taken on a new meaning recently, symbolic of earth-friendly cleanliness. Sepia-toned images evoke a sense of nostalgia and a longing for times past, while neon colours electrify the senses.
We’ve talked before about the power of colour and how the simplicity of the modern printing process can make us forget how interesting such images are. But what about black-and-white printing?
In our electric world, the starkness of black and white printing can really stand out. The human eye is drawn to white space, perhaps as a break from the profusion of colour that surrounds us. Print publishers know this; it’s the reason we have margins around text, spaces between lines. Perhaps your message could benefit from black and white printing.
If you want your words to really pop, there are times when a fun, fancy, or distracting design is unnecessary. Black and white printing is also less expensive than colour printing, which is a consideration for many organisations. It conveys a down-to-earth sensibility, a willingness to begin with the basics and build from there. It summons the past and speaks to the future.
It catches the eye and then it catches the heart.
When you’re ready to print your own tickets online, consider the message you want to convey with your Event Tickets. Perhaps this event, make your stand with black and white Event Tickets.

Customer service is not dead. In fact it’s alive and well, thriving, actually.
There’s a misconception these days, that the Internet has taken all the life out of commerce, and that buying an item online is a cold and lonely experience. How can a computer reproduce the friendly connection of talking to a girl in a shop, hearing the owner’s opinion on the products that best suit your needs? Customer service, of course!
Some shoppers prefer the quick anonymity of one click shopping. Others require a little personal contact. Perhaps you have trouble understanding the details of the website. Perhaps there is some difficulty with your credit card. Or perhaps you are not quite satisfied with your order. You cannot run down to the city centre and discuss the issue in the shop, but you can call customer service.
Our operators are available from 9:00 to 18:00 to help you print your perfect Event Tickets. Just ring 0808 1683766 for help selecting the designs, products, card stock, and quantities that are right for you and your organisation. There are no worries about processing orders. We ensure that your tickets are printed as you like them, and shipped out fast. And we are here to listen if you have questions and concerns.
So leave your troubles at the door and order with assurance. When you print your own Event Tickets with UK Ticket Printing, we’re ready to listen to you and we’re here to help!

How about small events? Family reunions, in-house awards ceremonies, school parties? We’re speaking of events with limited guest lists, small enough to keep expenses down, but large enough that you’re not certain you will recognize everyone’s face at the door. For invitation-only events to which you are not selling tickets, but rather inviting a select group of fortunate guests, consider the following.
Here’s a money-saving idea: no-stub Event Tickets. With a slightly smaller format and no perforation, such tickets help you communicate the same information as a full-size ticket. Provided your guests will not need the stub for reentry, small-format stubless tickets will serve you well. In addition, such ticket can save you money by doubling as Event Invitations or save-the-date reminders.
They may be smaller, but you need purchase only one per person or family, rather than buying Invitations or Postcards in addition to General Admission Tickets. These small tickets fit neatly into a standard envelope alon with other announcements and information you may want to send. Visualise the difference?
A full-size, perforated General Admission Ticket with a stub:
A small-format General Admission Ticket without a stub:
Same fabulous design in a convenient, more portable format! Most small tickets measure 108 millimetres long and 56 millimetres wide. Just another helpful hint from your favourite ticket girl!

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!
