Webinar Summary:

This webinar, hosted by Bryan Jenkins and Allison Bickel from Ticket Signup, provides a comprehensive overview of the platform’s features, pricing, and user experience. The session focuses on how the platform provides high-end functionality for a low flat fee of 40 cents per ticket.


💰 Pricing & Value Proposition

Ticket Signup recently updated its pricing model to keep costs low for organizers while providing robust features.

  • The Cost: Credit card fees ($2.9% + $0.30) plus 40 cents per ticket.

  • Free Tickets: There is no charge for free tickets.

  • Profit Center: Organizers have the option to increase the processing fee and keep the difference as a revenue stream.


🌐 Event Websites & AI Tools

The platform provides professional, high-speed websites that act as a complete digital hub for events.

  • Website Builder: WordPress-level capability with a drag-and-drop builder, allowing for images, donation thermometers, and social media icons.

  • AI Integration: Includes an AI Website Assistant to help write content and an AI Chatbot that can be trained on event FAQs to answer customer questions 24/7.

  • Domain Support: Organizers can map their own custom domains to the Ticket Signup server.

  • SEO & Speed: Pages are optimized for fast loading and search engine indexing (including Google Gemini).


📧 Marketing & Communication

A major highlight of the platform is the integrated free email system, designed to replace paid services like Mailchimp.

  • Data Integration: Emails are synced with ticket data, allowing for automated “mail merges” (e.g., “Hello [First Name]”) and the resending of QR codes.

  • Drip Campaigns: Automated sequences can be set up to send reminders or surveys at specific intervals (e.g., two hours before a timed entry).

  • Proven Results: The platform tracks that approximately 12% of sales come directly from these integrated emails.


🛠 Event Management & Check-In

The platform supports both simple events (general admission) and complex, calendar-based events with timed entries.

  • Real-Time Inventory: The purchase path automatically updates to show sold-out tickets or remaining inventory without manual intervention.

  • Mobile-First Checkout: 75% of checkouts occur on mobile; the platform supports Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Chrome autopay to reduce cart abandonment.

  • Check-In App: A free app for iOS and Android that works offline if needed. It supports ticket scanning, merchandise fulfillment, and “wet signatures” for waivers.

  • Self-Service Tools: Customers can transfer dates, send tickets to friends, or upgrade from GA to VIP themselves, saving the organizer time.


📈 Revenue & Financial Features

Beyond ticket sales, the platform offers several ways to boost the “bottom line”:

  • Integrated Store: Sell merchandise (shirts, gloves, etc.) with inventory caps. No 40-cent fee is charged for store-only items.

  • Donations: Collect donations during or outside the checkout process at a flat 4% fee (including credit card fees).

  • Referral Rewards: An automated system where attendees get a refund (e.g., $20) if they refer a specific number of friends.

  • Sales Tax Management: A standout feature where the platform calculates, collects, and remits sales tax for the organizer, providing full audit reports.


❓ Common Questions (Q&A)

  • Reliability: The platform has had only six minutes of unplanned downtime since 2015, despite handling millions of page views during peak times like Thanksgiving.

  • Support: Every event is reviewed by the Ticket Signup team. They provide feedback and personalized calls to help with payment account setup and event configuration.

  • Site Performance: The infrastructure is built to handle massive spikes, such as 1,000+ purchases per minute, without slowing down.
