How To Sell Event Tickets Online In Nigeria For Free
Are you an event organizer/planner or are you wondering where you can sell your event tickets without the stress of running around to sell it? Then, this is for you.
One of the major problems faced in the entertainment industry is the "lack of proper management of events", especially ticket sales. Some event organizers sometimes give up on selling their tickets because they get scammed (the ratio of people attending the event to the number of tickets sold do not match), especially by ticket agents and this leaves them with no one to trust.
But not to worry because in this article, we'll be showing you how you set up an online ticket store where you can sell your event tickets for free.
In this short read, we will be looking at:
• What is online ticketing?
• What are online ticketing platforms?
• How does online ticketing work?
• How to create and sell your event ticket online in Nigeria with Syticks?
What Is Online Ticketing?
Online ticketing also known as E-ticketing (Electronic Ticketing) is a digital form of ticketing whereby the sales of tickets to a particular event or events are bought and sold without limitations like distance, lack of funds, scarcity, etc.
Just as music has been made available by streaming platforms to the average internet user, tickets are made available to everyone by online ticketing platforms.
What Are Online Ticketing Platforms?
They are platforms where sales, promotion, marketing, advertising, and delivery of your event tickets are done in one place through online means.
Platforms like Syticks give event organizers the avenue to create an online ticketing store where you can sell their event tickets, not just that, you also get to see the statistics of their event (i.e the number of attendees, tickets sold and a host of other details concerning their event).
Handling everything concerning ticket sales down to the littlest details so that event organizers can focus more on the most important thing, which is making preparations to ensure their event is a success.
How Does Online Ticketing Work?
Back in the day, say you wanted to attend an event, perhaps a music concert, a comedy special, a business conference or any kind of event that required you to purchase tickets.
What would usually happen is that the event organizers would spend money to print paper tickets, and spend money on hiring transportation to take these tickets to the various outlets (physical places where people will come to pick up these tickets).
While these worked then, it doesn't entirely work like that in this age. Everything has been digitized, this is very evident in the way we bank. We no longer have to stand in queues to perform minor and mid-level bank transactions. We do that from the comfort of our homes, offices and schools.
We've grown to get accustomed to convenience. Today, because of the invention of online ticketing platforms, we don't have to travel far distances just to purchase tickets.
Event organizers do not have to spend a dime in printing tickets, nor do they have to spend money on delivering tickets to outlets or their attendees.
And guess what? Event organizers have data to work with. They know everybody attending their event, this helps them keep track of the crowd they let into their event venue.
Online ticketing platforms like Syticks have made things easier for event organizers, enabling them to sell their event tickets from anywhere and everywhere without having to be there physically. But how can you do that?...
