Online Ticketing Services

Why an online ticketing service should be a priority for your venue or event

Thank you for considering Event Ticketing Systems by Sanctuary Media Group and taking the exciting first step toward taking your venue and event sales online. Making the move to the web and selling tickets online is a decision that you most certainly won’t regret. There are many reasons why online ticketing will most assuredly streamline your event operations and save you time and money.

Convenience for your patrons:

As you may already know, online shopping is all the rage these days and will probably never trend down. It’s becoming “the way” to shop and compare before making a purchase. People enjoy the convenience of shopping in their slippers and bathrobes while saving time, accessing a massive window of choice, and saving money by comparison shopping. All with just a simple click of the mouse. Online ticketing and box office systems allow you to provide this same convenience to your potential patrons so they can purchase tickets online and have them delivered without ever leaving their seat. Today, patrons demand convenience and online ticketing is another great way that you can give it to them.

Saves you money:

Online ticketing is not all about the patron though. On the surface, e-ticketing saves your patrons time but that’s only the tip of the benefits iceberg. Online ticketing will save your event and venue money. At Event Ticketing Systems our services are essentially free to your venue or event. There are no monthly fees or hidden charges to sell tickets. We make our money by including a small processing fee on each ticket purchased and you simply pass this on to the ticket purchaser to cover the cost of using the service. Your event receives access to use the software on your website and in your box office, you get to utilize our powerful servers and infrastructure, you don’t pay for ticket stock and you can reduce your employee fulfillment costs if you allow us to fulfill your orders and mail them for you. We’ll essentially handle your ticketing from beginning to end for free. All you need is a computer and a reliable internet connection.

Reduces staff demands:

Have you dreaded selling tickets to a large event because of the staff required to take and fulfill the orders? Staffing your offices for phone calls can be an expensive and daunting task. Let your website do the work fulfilling orders and answering question while put your staff to work elsewhere. Online ticketing makes it easy to sell tickets without human intervention.

Helps you grow your marketing:

At Event Ticketing Systems we don’t miss an opportunity to help you grow your venue or event participation. When you become a client and utilize our system you’ll gain access to a powerful way to market your events - Email. We believe that you should never miss an opportunity to stay in contact with a potential or past patron and we make it easy for you.

Every time someone places an order through your account they’ll be asked to subscribe to your e-newsletter. Via your account you’ll be able to access this database of information and continually market your future events to your database via email. It’s a great way to stay top-of-mind and grow your event participation. We make it easy and our system provides you with an easy way to build, schedule and send your messages for free. You can easily include graphics, links, special offers, discounts and coupons and any other messages that you deem necessary and it’s all done with a click of the mouse. We even provide extensive stats on how many people opened your message, what links they clicked on, who they are and more. You can even export the data and use it for direct mailings because the system gathers and stores all the information you need from your patrons.

Increases revenue opportunities and value for your sponsors:

Sponsorships are a big part of event marketing. Without sponsorship dollars it’s hard to put on an event. Again, we make it easy for you to expand your sponsorship revenue or increase your sponsorship value. We do this in two ways. First, within our system we provide you with an easy to use advertisement manager that allows you to place sponsorship ad cubes throughout your online store. Sponsors will increase their exposure and gain direct traffic to your website. Our system tracks statistics that you can share with your sponsors to show the extra value you’ve provided them. Second, you can easily add sponsorship logos, messages and offers to your print-at-home tickets, receipts, and printed tickets. Our system makes this easy and it’s all managed by you and customized for each event.

Our software is easy to use, we maintain our own servers and house them in one of the best data centers in the country and we’ll handle all of your fulfillment.
