1) Ticket Delivery Formats
Three ticket delivery "formats" are available choices.
- - E-Ticket (easiest, printed PDF ticket delivered via email; see a sample here)
- - Mailed (if there are actual paper tickets available to be sent to buyers. Tickets are mailed by event host)
- - Will-Call or Pick-up. (if there are actual paper tickets at a specific location)
2) Early-Bird Discount Pricing
This feature allows you to set a discount price for ticket buyers if they purchase by an early date. After that date, you can set the ticket price to go up automatically.
For example, let's say today is April 1 and your event is on May 31. You want to charge a $45 "discount" price for purchases from April 1 to April 30.
The following day (May 1) you want a "regular" price of $50 to take effect. The "regular" price will remain until May 31, the day the event takes place.
Here's what you do:
You are going to want TWO ticket options. Fill in Ticket #1 Details. Enter information for the "discount" or "early-bird" price. For Begin Selling This Ticket On, enter April 1.For Stop Selling This Ticket On, enter May 1st.Then, click the link called Add Another Ticket Option.
A new window called Ticket #2 Details will appear. This is where you enter information for the "regular" price. For Begin Selling This Ticket On, enter May 1. For Stop Selling This Ticket On, enter May 31.
3) Promo Code
Use this feature to offer a special ticket price to a select group. This allows you to set one price for members of the select group and another price for everyone else.
Here's how:
- Create a promo code (whatever you wish it to be). Decide the ticket price that members of the select group will pay. Send the promo code to members of the select group. When they enter the code you created, the ticket price is reduced automatically.
- You can add one or more promo codes at any time to your existing tickets.
4) Multiple Ticket Options
You can offer as many ticket "options" as you wish. For Example:
- "Admit One for Dinner Only"
- "Admit One for Dinner and Tasting"
- "Admit One Saturday"
- "Admit One Saturday and Sunday", etc.
5) Will-Call Pick-up Locations
You can have as many "Pick-up" locations as you need. In addition, you can place a separate email for each location so that each location is notified when a purchaser has selected that location for pick-up.
6) To Change Ticket Prices
You can now change ticket prices as you need.
7) Attendees' List
An Excel spreadsheet is created for each ticketed event and is available to you 24/7 under "My Account". Click "View Ticket Sales" and then "Download Ticket Sales"
It is sortable in any way that you might need based on the criteria of each ticket option. The spreadsheet includes full purchaser information, i.e., Name, Address, Phone, Type of ticket purchased, etc. It DOES NOT include the email address of the purchaser unless they answer yes to the query "Share email with event host?". We protect the privacy of all visitors to LocalWineEvents.com.
8) Confirmations
Upon the purchase completion of a ticket, the purchaser receives an email confirmation that includes a unique confirmation number generated by our system. The email also reaffirms the event information and includes the hosts contact information for questions or concerns. The purchaser is instructed to print the email and bring it to the event. (Mainly for "e-tickets, but doesn't hurt otherwise). The host also receives a confirmation of the purchase that includes the purchasers Name, Phone number and Address and unique confirmation number, but not the email address.
9) Notices or Cancellation of Event
We have built into the system a way to send an email to all ticket holders of any event. Available under "My Account" click "View Ticket Sales" and then "Send Email To Ticket Buyers". You can send notices to all those who have purchased tickets to a particular event. This will serve to alert ticket holders of important information while protecting thier privacy.
