Marketing and selling tickets
Can iTICKET help me boost ticket sales and reach new audiences?
Absolutely. We leverage our marketing channels and nationwide database to get your event in front of more people. Plus, we put you in control of the data. With features like pixel tracking, exclusive access links, and live referral reporting, you can monitor exactly what’s working in real-time. Our goal is to convert our audience into yours. See Our Features page for more details.
Can I track ticket sales, including on the day of my event?
Yes, you’ll have full access to our dashboard for real-time sales data throughout pre-sales and during the event, whether you’re selling online or at the door/gate. Entry scanning also provides live stats, so you can see how many people have entered the venue. Reports can also be downloaded and shared with your team as needed.
Can your team help me maximise my revenue and sell more tickets?
100%! Our team of event experts will review your goals, budgets and target revenue, then recommend the best ticketing strategy to help maximise your revenue and margins. With some of the best in the business, we’ve got you covered.
Can I sell tickets in other channels (phone/box office) as well as online?
Yes. iTICKET supports online ticketing, phone sales and physical box office sales through our nationwide network of outlets.
Managing your event and customer data
How much of my event can I manage independently on your system?
While we do the heavy lifting with prompt event and web builds, thorough checks and updates; you can self access your data, allocate and issue comp tickets, and monitor sales and audience via our real-time reporting. Our Box Office solutions means you can also effortlessly deliver event days yourself if needed.
Can I access data of customers who attend my event?
Yes, you can easily access and download all your customers' information. We ensure you receive comprehensive sales and non-personally identifiable data immediately. This access is fully compliant with privacy laws, meaning we responsibly handle contact details (like email) for customers who have opted out of communications, ensuring you are legally protected while having the data you need.
Event operations and support
What happens on the day of the event?
You can use iTICKET’s scanning app to check tickets at the door, or we can provide staff and equipment if you need on-site support. You’ll have access to real-time entry and attendance information during your event so you can see how many people have entered the venue. Your dedicated account manager will check in before the event to help scope the best set-up for you.
Can I request additional support staff if I already have my own team managing the event?
iTICKET offers a full suite of scalable onsite services including hardware and staffing. Equally you can simply download our scanner app and manage on site you using your own team and resources, all supported by our after hours team.
What happens if my event is cancelled or rescheduled?
If an event is cancelled or needs to be rescheduled, our team will work with you to manage customer communication, refunds or ticket transfers. We’ll guide you through the process and handle the ticketing side.
Does iTICKET provide customer support for ticket buyers?
Absolutely. iTICKET provides customer support for ticket buyers 7 days a week, helping to reduce the number of enquiries you need to manage yourself. Similarly, our after-hours support is available for promoters so you can speak to a real person for fast resolutions when most needed.
Payment, fees and settlement
What are your fees and how are funds managed?
We offer flexible structures (usually an inside fee + capped booking fee) and the widest range of local and international payment options. Crucially, all revenue is held securely in Trust - regardless of the payment gateway used - ensuring full EVANZ Ticketing Code of Conduct compliance. We handle all exchanges and refunds on your behalf. Event settlements are fast and accurate - typically within two business days post-event.
