Choosing the Best Ticketing System for Your Event

1. Functionalities

Each system is different. Therefore, consider which functionalities you need to make your event a success. Below are some examples:

• Various ticket types: It's useful to think about the types of tickets you want for your event. Consider how many ticket types you need or whether you use discounts, for example.
• Time slots and capacity settings: Is it important to manage visitor flows by using time slots and setting limits for certain tickets?
• Sales channels: It's also important to think ahead about how you want to share or integrate your ticket shop into your own website. Ensure that the system you are considering aligns well with your sales channels.

2. Pricing

Ticketing systems can vary greatly in price. It can be quite challenging to map out the rates and make a good price/quality assessment. Therefore, always pay close attention to the costs of the ticketing system and those for processing payments. There are often hidden costs or conditions, especially when a ticketing platform claims to be free. Read more about what to look out for in this article.

3. Support

Some systems offer 24-hour support, while others may only assist you via email. Therefore, it's good to consider what kind of service you expect to need.

4. Data

If you care about how a ticketing system handles data, we recommend you thoroughly investigate this. In many cases, the ticketing system collects all data, processes it at its own discretion, and may even sell it to third parties in some instances. There are also examples of systems that enable organizers to fully utilize the data at their own discretion.

5. White label

To what extent is it important for you to style your ticket shop to match your own branding? There are significant differences between ticketing systems in terms of this possibility. There are even systems where your visitor hardly realizes they are booking through an external system. Learn more about this on our website.

6. Payment Methods

Payment methods are also important when choosing a ticketing system for your event. It's good to think about which payment methods you want to offer your visitors, and then check which systems support those methods. Read more about suitable payment methods in this article.

7. Visitor Check-In

Checking in visitors at the entrance is an important part of ticketing systems and should not be overlooked when choosing between different systems. Make sure that the system you choose has a mobile scanning app and supports the hardware you may want to use, such as QR code scanners.
