Why TheTicketSellers.co.uk is your perfect ticketing partner...
With over 14 years in the business, we are experienced enough to handle the largest events yet small enough to tailor-make a perfect package for all of our clients.
Our success is largely based on our efficient and easy to use systems, years of first class service to both clients and customers and our extensive knowledge of events, clubs, festival gates and promoters.
We commonly use e-ticket systems to reduce costs to promoters and customers (see below) but can also send paper tickets if preferred. We also employ seating plans, which can be tailored to your venue upon request.
We share customer data with the event organiser and your Control Panel contains various graphs showing demographic information about your sales, which can be matched to previous events.
We are so confident that we have provided all of our clients both past and present with an excellent service, that we are happy for you to contact any of them for a recommendation.
Many of our clients are leading UK club and festival promoters but we have also been agents for companies as diverse as The British Heart Foundation and the BBC. In December 2009, the British Swimming Organisation chose us for the sell-out Duel in the Pool event (swimming's equivalent to the Ryder Cup), and in February each year, we sell for the National Squash Championships. Many comedy brands are now coming on board too.
Just a few of our current clients include: HMV Institute, Godskitchen, Gatecrasher, The National Drum n' Bass Awards, Flatpack Film Festival, Birmingham Opera Company, Fantazia, Ministry of Sound, Atomic Jam, Circo Loco, and many more.
We sell for the Shambala Festival, Boomtown Fair, Global Gathering, Supersonic Festival, Sunrise, Glade and more.
Our Event Management and Entry System is used by Secret Garden Party and many of the festivals listed above.
We provide the box office for the Ballroom in Birmingham (previously the Carling Academy), with responsibilities including opening 6 days a week for over-the-counter sales, administration of the ticketing manifest and all necessary back-end software. More information on request.
For the Shambala Festival, we have pioneered an electronic e-ticket system, capable of processing 1000's of customers through the gate with no paper tickets and no queues, great for the environment!
Many companies offer e-ticket systems but leave you with sheets of paper to handle at your busy door - our PDA's remove this problem and are available for events large and small - please ask for more details.
IT DOES NOT COST YOU ANYTHING TO SELL WITH US!!
We add a booking fee on top of the ticket price that is paid by the customer (unless you wish us to incorporate the booking fee within the ticket price).
You can upload your own event and have it live on the site in minutes. A member of our team will then approve the event, at which point tickets will go on sale.
You tell us how you would like to be paid for your tickets (bank transfer or cheque). We pay you on the Wednesday following your event and do not hold onto funds unlike some companies.
You do not need to print paper tickets as we can offer an e-ticket service (customers pay for a reference number which corresponds to a list you print and take to the door. For more information, please click here).
We also offer a postal service if you would prefer us to send out your paper tickets with appropriate literature.We print paper tickets too! We can print very small runs at extremely reasonable rates and with a very quick turnaround, please contact us for more details.
We can sell tickets for your event until minutes before your doors open.
Once registered, visit your control panel to see how many tickets you have sold and how many remain.
You can also view past event data, update your profile and add flyers and pictures to your listing to give your customers the best possible information.
We receive 200,000 hits every month and have over 250,000 registered members.
Your event will be advertised on our site with as much information as you provide, together with information about your promotion, event flyers, photos etc.
Your customers can read more info about artists playing at your event, see a description of your venue and also a useful map. There are many ways for your customers to find your event, even if they are not looking for it specifically, through recommendations on the front page, by searching music genre, area, venue or date.
As soon as you have sold a ticket, your customer is definitely coming to your event (regardless of the weather!) and may well act as a walking advert, encouraging others to come too.
As it costs you nothing to sell with us, listing your event on TheTicketSellers is a win-win situation!
Other free tools available include our referal tracking tools, so you can put different links in different places (on your facebook page or newsletter), and see which ones are generating the most traffic.
We share customer data with event organisers which you can download any time.
Our graphs allow you to quickly see where and when people have purchased tickets, allowing you to monitor the effectiveness of marketing campaigns.
