03 Nov 2024 - Ticketize Team
Of the many decisions when planning an event, deciding when to start selling tickets is an important consideration. We’ve got some straightforward advice to help you determine the best timing.
Top timing tips for your event
-
Set a date - Nail down your event date. Give yourself enough time to plan and promote, but don’t start too early — you want to keep the excitement fresh. You can start to create your Ticketize event page as soon as you like and you choose when to launch the event page.
-
Don’t delay - While it’s important to build anticipation, you also don’t want to wait too long to start selling tickets. Give yourself enough time to promote your event and give potential attendees a chance to plan ahead.
-
Create buzz - It’s important to generate interest about your event. When you’ve published your event, share your Ticketize QR code on social media and in emails to your contacts as well as posters advertising your event - see the Marketing help pages for more information.
-
Keep up momentum - Keep an eye on your Ticketize event tracking page and consider social media updates, or sending out more comms to your contacts if there are tickets remaining.
Finding the right time to start selling tickets is all about striking a balance between building anticipation and giving people enough time to plan. Follow these simple tips, and you’ll be well on your way to a successful event.
