5 Ways to Promote Your Events
Looking for ways to get more fans to purchase tickets and attend your events? HomeTown can help by providing tools, graphics, and templates to help promote your upcoming events. This fall, schools across the country got creative with these resources and ones that they created on their own to promote their events and make it easy for fans to get tickets before the game and at the gate. Here’s a look at a few of our favorites. 1. Social Media The number of people who use social media every day is higher than ever, which means that using social media to promote events helps you reach more people. Things like tweeting the QR code or website link to purchase tickets, creating Facebook events for your upcoming games, or posting a countdown to opening night on Instagram are all ways to grab your social media audience’s attention and get them talking and sharing information about your event. Related post: Using Facebook Events to Sell More Tickets Here are a couple of examples of how schools have promoted ticket sales through social media this fall: 2. PA Announcements You can also use your school’s morning or afternoon announcements to share details about the week’s events and how students can get tickets. Or share more information about easy online ticketing and the HomeTown Fan App during PA Announcements at events. 3. Email Marketing Along with social media, email is a powerful, digital tool to promote your events. HomeTown’s system allows schools to export a list of emails of those who have attended events in the past. Then, you can use this list of emails to send notices about upcoming events, like when season tickets go on sale or when your winter sports are live in your online box office. You may even consider including a pre-sale code to give loyal fans early access to purchase their tickets. Or include a promo code in the email to entice fans to attend an event with a discounted ticket. 4. QR Code Posters Want to avoid lines at the box office on game night or looking to go totally cashless at the gate? Consider printing large posters in the parking lot or leading up to your box office. These posters can even feature QR codes to your website or to the HomeTown Fan App where they can easily purchase tickets to the evening’s event as well as future events all in one place. 5. On Your Website With HomeTown, your ticket sales page is located right on your website! This allows you to easily promote your events on the other pages of your site. For example, a school might include a link to their tickets on pages that parents and students frequently view, like the grade login page or page that shows the school lunch menu.

All Types of Tickets: HomeTown Has the Options People Want
People love options, and the HomeTown platform has built-in, flexible ticket options so that every person, regardless how tech savvy they are, can easily get their tickets and attend events. Through these options, we bring flexible and professional-level ticketing to schools in a way that sets us apart in the ticketing industry and ensures that your fans are our top priority. Related post: How Fans Purchase Tickets Online and in the HomeTown Fan App Digital PDF Tickets When someone purchases tickets on a school’s website, they have the option to download their tickets as a PDF file from the order confirmation screen or from their confirmation email. This allows them to simply display the PDF ticket on their phone as the email attachment, as a saved or downloaded file, or as a screenshot of the ticket. Gate workers quickly scan the QR code from the PDF ticket, and fans enter the event without ever having to wait in line at a box office or print a paper ticket. Printed Tickets For people who don’t have a smartphone or reliable mobile device, HomeTown makes it easy to accommodate printing tickets. Once they have purchased a ticket online, they can download and print their PDF ticket to bring to the event. Our Gate App can scan both paper and digital tickets, so everyone can easily enter events. In-App Tickets One of the fastest and easiest ways to get tickets to events is with the HomeTown Fan App. This app is available for both iOS and Android devices. After downloading the Fan App, they can search for events, find schools or organizations, or even a zip code. Simply select an event, choose how many tickets and which type, and check-out all in the app. The Fan App stores tickets too, so when it comes time to scan, tickets can be found, displayed, and scanned for event entry. Tickets at the Gate Many schools want the option to continue taking cash at the event. Using the HomeTown Gate App, schools and organizations can sell tickets at the door and record cash or check sales. You can event complete credit or debit card sales with credit card readers. When fans purchase tickets in person, you can email their ticket, text it to their phone, print it, or simply check them in. Guest List Check-In Sometimes, the unexpected happens. Phone batteries die. Paper tickets are misplaced. Ticket emails get deleted. In cases like this, the Guest List feature in the HomeTown Gate App provides the perfect back up. Gate workers can access a guest list of ticket purchasers and use the check-in feature as an alternative to scanning tickets. This back-up option provides added peace of mind and keeps fans happy.

Scanning, Security, and a Professional-Level Ticketing Experience
When it comes to managing events, there’s a lot to think about. How many people will attend? How can I keep track of attendees? What can I do to keep my event secure? What kind of experience will attendees have at my event? Today we’re answering these questions and sharing how scanning tickets increases security and provides your fans with a professional-level ticketing experience that runs like clockwork, no matter how many people are attending your events. Professional-Level Ticketing Think about the last time you went to a professional sporting event, saw a big-name band on tour, or attended a touring theatre production. At the door, they scanned your ticket whether it was on your smartphone or printed, and the staff working the gate confirmed that your ticket was valid. They may have even given you instructions on where to find your seat. Related post: Scanning Tickets vs. Self-Redemption: Understanding the Differences People have come to expect that their tickets will be scanned upon entering a professional venue. They trust this process because it certifies the validity of their tickets and confirms their seats or designated location once they enter. Scanning tickets at the entrance gives attendees that professional-level experience at your venue, where they can have confidence in your system and fast, stress-free entry allowing them to focus on enjoying themselves and what snacks they want from your concession stand. Scanning Why does scanning tickets matter? Scanning ensures that every person who enters your event presents a valid, un-duplicated ticket. Scanning attendee’s tickets upon entry also helps eliminate the possibility of overwhelming a wi-fi or data network since only a few devices are scanning tickets, rather than hundreds or thousands of attendees also trying to self-redeem mobile tickets at the same time. Scanning the tickets registers their attendance in the system and allows the event organizer to track exactly how many people are in the venue. Knowing exactly how many fans are attending your events allows you to compare data points like how many people came to an event vs. how many tickets were purchased. Capturing this attendance information can help you gain new insights to plan for staffing, concession supplies, and more when you look at the data over time. You can also use your list of attendees to promote upcoming events and announce when tickets are on sale for highly anticipated games or events, helping you get more fans in the seats. Related post: Scanning, Security, and a Professional-Level Ticketing Experience Security Knowing the number of attendees and who they are is also crucial in emergency situations, like severe weather or an unexpected venue issue. You can feel rest assured and prepared knowing that you have easy access to that information using the HomeTown system. The guest list feature in the HomeTown Gate app allows ticket scanners to see which tickets have already been redeemed for an event as well as check-in attendees who have lost their tickets or whose phones died by simply looking their name up in the guest list, eliminating the need for a will-call window. This definitive list of attendees can be used as a helpful resource in case a list of those present at an event is needed. Having a clear list of attendees and their contact information can also allow you to communicate information about rescheduled events, while still keeping your venue secure and preventing anyone without a valid ticket from entering.

The Show Must Go On: Theatre Ticketing
From the day the cast list is posted until the moment the curtain rises on opening night, there are a million things that need to be done to ensure that your performances go well. One of the biggest, and often most time-consuming parts of a theatre show is ticketing. Luckily, we’re here to simplify your ticketing process and ensure you can spend more time rehearsing the final dance number and less time worrying about your box office. Related post: Going Digital: The Benefits of Digital Ticketing Platforms Seat Maps An important aspect of attending a play or musical is choosing your seat. Some people prefer to be front and center, as close to the stage as possible so that they can see even the smallest details. Others prefer a birds-eye view, so the balcony is the place for them. Still, others find that an aisle seat is an absolute necessity. With HomeTown Ticketing’s custom seat maps, your audience can choose their precise seat and feel confident in their choice! Best of all, there is no charge to create your custom-seat map or to use our reserved seating tools. Our seat maps are created to the unique specs of your venue and can be easily modified as needed, whether the stage set expands into the audience or you’d like to block off specific seats from sale for any purpose. Setting Your Ticket Levels Along with reserved seating tools, HomeTown’s platform also allows you to set a variety of ticket levels and prices. This means that you can set prices based on the seat’s location. For example, seats in the balcony may be at a lower price point than seats at the floor level. This allows you to have a range of prices that maximizes your revenue while still accommodating a variety of budgets. Presale and Passcodes Your HomeTown box office also has built-in features to give you flexibility for ticketing your event. With a few easy clicks, you can set up presale codes or passcodes. Presale codes allow you to sell tickets ahead of the general sale. Many schools use this feature to ensure parents or guardians have the first chance at the best seats to see their students perform. You also have the power to limit the number of tickets that can be purchased for each presale code, so that your general sale is not affected. Passcodes work similarly to presale codes, but can be used at the same time as your general sale. These are ideal for having hidden ticket levels, like a reduced student ticket price or a complimentary ticket offer for press or administration. As with presale codes, you can set a ticket limit for each code so that your ticket sales and revenue are not affected. Opening Night The HomeTown platform not only allows you to sell tickets ahead of the show, but also has a built-in point of sale feature, enabling you to sell tickets at the door. Our system can also handle concession and merchandise sales, making it easy for your attendees to grab a snack, a t-shirt, or flowers for their favorite performers while you keep track of every cent.
