The Big Production

by ticketprinting on April 2, 2010

There is something quite special about theatre tickets.

Theatres large and small may find themselves in competition with the hundreds of free and convenient forms of entertainment favoured by modern audiences: TV, DVDS, Internet, and more, all offer digital entertainment to dazzle and hypnotize the masses. Most modern theatres find themselves scrambling to reach their audience through blogs, forums, and social networks. Selling theatre tickets is no longer simply a matter of announcing a theatrical production. You now must shout to be heard above the noise of a thousand viral videos, the din of streaming content, the roar of MP3s.

Enter your brightly coloured Event Ticket.

Even if no one is listening, you can still provide a quiet path directly to the audience’s eye. Simply print your own Event Tickets online, choosing vivid imagery and, if you choose, uploading your theatre’s logo directly to the ticket template. With a small, dedicated fan base, you can send your ticket into the world where it can do some good.

When you create beautiful Event Tickets, your tickets don’t end up in a drawer. If they are too pretty to be put away in a safe place, they will remain on view for the world to see: attached to the refrigerator or cork board, tucked under the corner of a blotter. There, they can quietly advertise your theatre to whomever passes by.

Choose a proper design and those tickets will continue to call attention to your troupe long after the curtain closes. Lovely ticket stubs remained tucked in mirror frames or saved in scrap books for years after the show has closed. For only a few pence, your low-tech theatre ticket can outlast the staying power of even the most potent viral video.

A Ticket of Your Own

Customisation You like to put your personal stamp on everything you do, and who can blame you? If you’re proud of your work, you want the world to know. And if your name, or your favourite organisation’s name is to appear on something, you want it to represent your own standards of excellence.

For this reason, we make it simple to customise every time you print your own Event Tickets. Our ticket templates all provide sample text, so you have plenty of space to construct your own personal message. Whatever you need to say, we can help you say it. Our Flyers, Posters, and Invitations all have many lines so you’ll never run out of space. Even our General Admission and Event Tickets allow to you get all the details down: time, place, cost, along with event title, organisation name, and more!

If you need a higher level of customisation, you’ll love image upload templates. Many of our Event Tickets and most of our Posters and Flyers allow you to add any image from your own computer. Adding sponsor logos ensures that your benefactors will support you year after year. Uploading photographs of speakers, artists, or musicians allows for visual recognition of your program. Or, you can choose images that appeal to you and your audience.

While you’re responsible for obeying copyright laws, any image for which you hold the rights, or have permission to use, can be the right image for you. When you print your own Event Tickets, you deserve a final product that’s perfect. Whatever you imagine can be reality when you add your own text and images to the design that sings to you!

Be of good cheer

Sponsorship. For many of us, it spells the difference between success and failure. We need underwriters. Partners. Recognizable names to elevate our cause. In the private sector, in nonprofit, and even in events sponsored by the parish or council, a proper sponsor may have the power to turn a one-off event into a yearly function, or a small event into a large one.

You can offer potential sponsors a little bit more if you know you have the means to provide them lots of free advertisement in return for their help. Everyone wins: they enjoy the publicity you provide, along with the added bonus of being seen as community boosters. You enjoy the financial support as well as the association with a well-known business.

Your Event Tickets can do double-duty! If you choose an image ticket, you can add your sponsor’s logo. Everyone who purchases or merely sees the ticket will view this advertisement. What a brilliant incentive! Sponsors want to see their name in print. Offering to add their logo to tickets and other publicity materials may persuade some to contribute, and may persuade others to make their contributions a yearly donation.

Adding logos is almost too easy. All you need is the image file in a .jpeg or similar format. Adding a logo to your image ticket is no different than attaching a file to an email. You click a button, select the file from your computer’s directory, and you’re done!

Brand recognition is a powerful force. You can harness it to the benefit of your organisation and your sponsors when you choose to upload a logo to Event Tickets specifically designed for this purpose.

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.
