Why should Bonfire & Firework Nights look to sell tickets online?

Reduce Risk

By selling tickets online, in advance of the event, the risk of external factors effecting the event's income is reduced.

Factors such as weather, transport issues and competing events can cause unexpected reductions in the number of attendees an event has, and therefore the revenue the event generates.

By selling in advance, patrons have committed their time and money to the event, regardless of what changes between the point of purchase and the event occurring.

Speed Up Entry

Checking in a pre-paid ticket is considerably quicker than taking payment on the gate.

Reducing queuing time in turn reduces stress for staff and the event organisers, and also leads to an improved patron experience.

Patrons are then more likely to attend in subsequent years and will also spend more time at the event itself, rather than queuing outside.

Encourage Higher Spend at the Event

It's important that your traders come back year after year. When people buy tickets in advance, they tend to then spend more money at the event than they would do if they bought tickets on the day. Your traders will always want to come back if they get a good return from your event.

Reduce Number of Staff or Volunteers Needed

By selling tickets in advance, you could reduce the number of staff or volunteers that you need. Streamlining entry would reduce the personnel needed, and advance tickets can also help to reduce the set-up and close-down time before and after an event, reducing the time that staff are needed on site.

Consumer Expectation

The expectation of being able to buy entry to events online is growing.

By offering advance online tickets, patrons are given more flexibility over when and how they pay for their tickets, leading to a better experience before they even set foot at your event.

Why is Ticketebo the ideal partner for Bonfire and Firework Nights?

Ticketebo is a Managed Ticketing Service

We build your ticketing page and tickets for you; following a brief from an Event Organiser, we then construct an initial draft of the page, taking into account your branding and information - ensuring a smooth customer experience when purchasing tickets on your Ticketebo event page.

Our event pages are built using responsive design techniques - ensuring that your event page looks great whatever screen type and size your customers are using (Smartphone/Tablet/Laptop/Desktop etc).

We will also supply you with QR codes to use on any printed advertising that you may produce to help direct more traffic to your ticketing pages.

We’re then on hand throughout the lifespan of your event, dealing with amendments and alterations for you. We also extend our industry leading service to your patrons, handling lost tickets, refund requests and order detail alterations. This is all with the aim of saving you as much time and stress as possible, whilst delivering an excellent experience to your patrons before they have event attended your event.

Our Pricing

We charge a booking fee per transaction of 4.95%, or a minimum of 75p. This is inclusive of VAT and Payment Processing.

It can either be paid by the Consumer (added on top of the ticket price), or it can be paid by the Organiser (included in the ticket price). If passed onto the Consumer, our service and software would come at no cost to an Event Organiser.

There are no monthly subscription charges or set up fees.

The above fee is based on payment of ticket sales being made to the Organiser after the event, however we can link to Stripe if payment is needed in advance of the event. Please ask us more about this if of interest.

Please note our charges are per transaction, not per ticket.

For more information on pricing, please visit our Pricing page.

Reporting Tools

Ticketebo offers powerful reporting tools that allow Event Organisers to monitor ticket sales and demographic data. This data-driven approach helps with decision-making, such as adjusting marketing strategies, managing supplies, and ensuring that the event is correctly-staffed and properly equipped.

Organisers have access to their own reporting dashboard, which we refer to as ‘Insights’. It reports on things like Ticket Sales, Tickets Sold, Peak Times & Days, Postcode Heatmap and several other pieces of key information.

’Insights’ is browser based, meaning you can access it on a laptop/desktop, or on a mobile device whilst on the go.

Planet-Friendly Ticketing

Our business and our full suite of ticketing products and services are Certified Carbon Neutral (in fact we are Carbon Negative!).

Selling tickets with us helps the environment by planting trees through our verified Trees for Change program - to date we have planted over 300,000 trees!

Customisable Ticketing Options

Bonfire & Firework Nights can often have multiple entry points or times, and a range of ticket types. Ticketebo supports a wide array of customisable ticket options, allowing tiered pricing (early bird, advance, on the day etc.), multi-person tickets such as group tickets, and multi-session tickets, such as multiple-display tickets. This flexibility helps organisers cater to the diverse needs of attendees, maximise ticket sales and help make the gate more efficient on the night of the event.

Details that are shown on the ticket can vary from one ticket type to another. For example, a ticket for a Carer could have different parking information than a normal ticket, or direct them to a more accessible entry gate.

Tickets can also be colour coded, making it easier for gate staff to recognise key information, such as the type of ticket, at a glance.

Manage Entry for Staff, Volunteers and Traders

Issuing scannable tickets to staff, volunteers and traders can help dramatically reduce the number of people entering the show site without paying. We can issue unique tickets to your personnel, direct to their email inbox. This can help you know who is on site, how many people are on site and ensure that only those that should be there are there.

Give Your Sponsors More

There are multiple places within the ticket page and tickets that we can add in further information and imagery. This can be used for a variety of uses, but one that is popular is sponsor advertisement.

We can add multiple sponsors logos and messages to the event page and even add their logos onto every ticket that is sent out too. This can also vary by ticket type, allowing you to sell sponsorship space very specifically if desired.

Barcoded Ticketing & Free Entry Scanning Technology

Our Free Door Scan Manager & Ticketing App (for iPhone/iPad and Android devices) integrates seamlessly with the barcode embedded on all our tickets. Our entry scanning ticketing app enables rapid door entry to your live event from multiple synchronised devices; as well as detecting and alerting your entry personnel should a customer present a ticket which has already been fulfilled. Best of all this software is provided free of charge to our Organisers.

Scan-triggered Automated SMS Messaging

OPTIONAL If required, we can setup the system to issue out an automatic SMS message to all attendees when they are scanned in. It can include links to things such schedules and site maps or contain key Health and Safety messages and guidance such as entry/exit plans, what to do in an emergency etc. This could help fulfil your duty to prepare the public (a key principle of Martyn’s Law) (please note small charge applies per SMS).
