Ticket Tailor launches with Tixel: ethical ticketing from the first to the last ticket sold

Ticket buyers and event organisers have often ended up with the short straw when it comes to the world of ticketing. Whether it’s exceedingly high fees or ticket scammers - the people who make events happen are left short-changed - while the big ticket companies (naming no names) walk away with exceedingly high profits and an unfair share of the pie.

Well, we’ve never thought that was quite right, and we’re always looking for new ways to make ticketing more fair for everyone involved. It’s one of the main reasons our pricing is so low compared to others in the industry. It’s also why we love the platform that Tixel has built. Their ambition is to make the resale of tickets as safe and secure as possible.

And it doesn’t show any sign of letting up.

The basics of boosting ticket sales – 6 key tactics to know

When you’ve poured your heart and soul into an event, to say it’s disappointing when ticket sales flop is an understatement. But this is an eventuality many event planners face at some point in their careers – one that often has nothing to do with their event itself, but more with the fact it’s simply not landing in front of the right eyes, or in the right way.

It’s important not to let poor ticket sales dishearten you too much though. In fact, statistics show you need a pretty thick skin for any kind of sales work, which more often than not requires a determination and doggedness perhaps not found in other areas of event planning. All of this to say that sales can be a tough nut to crack, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty of things you can do to drastically improve your chances of seeing those tickets fly off the shelves.
