Sell-Out Events: How to Promote Ticket Buying on your Website

Claire Ding - December 13, 2013

Having a website and a ticketed event but not selling tickets on your website would be like having a car and a cliff but not driving the car over the cliff. Here are some tips for how to do just that (ticketing through your website, not the car thing), as inspired by event organizers themselves.

1. Place an event banner with your event page’s URL on your website. For optimum visibility, place the banner either at the top or at least on the front page of your website.

2. Create a dedicated webpage for ticketing information and include a “ticketing” tab on your website. This makes it clear where your audience should click for tickets.
