Drive 6 hours to watch a cricket match or drive 3 hours to attend a concert, not a problem, I'm there but will we be able to get tickets?
Err…
You're not sure? You don't know where to score the tickets?
Hmmm… Are you sure, I should bother making the drive? Never mind, maybe next time!
A typical scenario in which your potential attendees stop being peppy and enthusiastic and become non-sequential.
Concerts and sporting events attract large crowds, some living nearby and others living out of town. Out of town attendees are willing to make the journey - hop onto a train or a bus, endure hours of travel time to watch their favorite sport or see their favorite musician live in concert. The problem is how to purchase tickets for the event. Take a chance and buy tickets at the venue or make a special trip; both options are not appealing. You can eliminate this issue by having an online ticketing option for your event.
Offering these potential attendees instant ticket confirmation and booking convenience is not difficult. In fact, for most of you, it will take very little effort. Most of you already take the effort to setup a website to make it easy for interested individuals to locate information about the event. All you need to do is take one more step!
Add an online ticketing option to your website and transform your website into a powerful ticket sales engine. By launching the ticketing process online, you can secure the attendance of these out-of-town attendees, thus, boosting the sales numbers of your event.
An online ticketing process will also appeal to attendees living in-town. They don’t have to take time out their busy schedules to reach your ticket counters before they close. They simply head to your website and book their tickets. By offering an online ticketing option, you can reach attendees that lack the time or are just too lazy to stand in lines and purchase tickets.
Taking your ticketing process online will also benefit your organization, financially and work wise. The following are some reasons ‘why’ you should choose to launch your ticketing process online:
