Ticket Management Tools to Save Time

As a director, it’s always simple to modify and manage tickets. But TicketSignup’s ticket management tools make things even easier with self-serve options that put the power ticket changes in attendees hands – no customer service needed. All self-serve ticket management options can be accessed via the confirmation email or re-sending a confirmation email.

Self-Serve Ticket Transfers

Whether you’re enabling ticket holders to transfer from one date or timeslot to another or simply want to allow upgrades from General Admission to VIP, self-serve ticket transfers give the power of ticket changes to attendees.

  • Enable ticket transfers for free or opt to add a transfer fee to boost revenue.
  • Quick fill functionality makes it even easier for customers with multiple tickets to transfer all their tickets.
  • All ticket caps are respected (unless you choose to override them)
  • Keep people happy in the event of a cancellation by allowing ticket holders to transfer to a different day after the cancellation.

Transfer Tickets to a Friend

Make it easy for ticket purchasers to transfer one or all of their tickets securely and give the new ticket holders confidence that their ticket is legitimate.

  • Easy selection of one or more tickets to transfer as a gift (any financial transaction between parties takes place offline).
  • A new QR code will be created for the new ticket holder and the previous QR code will no longer work for check-in.

Add a Store Item to an Existing Purchase

Upsell your attendees with easy store purchases added to a ticket after the fact (even on-site).

  • Use pre-event emails to encourage attendees to pre-purchase merch to pick up on-site.
  • Add QR code signage on-site to enable easy purchases of merch and refreshments from an attendees’ phone (and add it to the initial purchase).
  • Easily fulfill all store purchases – no matter when they were added – via the TicketSignup Tickets App for CheckIn.

Administrative Ticket Management

While self-serve is the right solution for many circumstances, sometimes an event director need to take control and manage tickets themselves.

  • Edit ticket information, cancel a ticket, or provide a refund for unforeseen circumstances.
  • Manage ticket transfers from one ticket to another when a ticket holder isn’t able to.

Ticket Transfers for Rainy Days

If your multi-day event is outdoors, it’s all-but guaranteed that weather will impact your event at some point.

You can even allow transfers after the ticket date has passed in the event of extreme weather issues.
