Ticketing House & Garden Special Events

Is your House or Garden open to the public? Do you run special events like Summer Firework or an Afternoon Garden Party Concert that you need to sell tickets for?

Would you like to use a simple, free way to sell your tickets from your website? 

If you are running a special event at your open House & Garden, being able to sell tickets in advance will help your logistics and planning, and can even protect your ticket sales against rain on day

Making it easy for your visitors to buy tickets to your event is all important to its success; from being able to advertise a single point to buy tickets from your website, to enabling visitors to purchase tickets using their credit cards – ts Express can make this simple for you.

Here is how ts Express can benefit your House & Garden and help to make your special event a resounding success!

• Free - ts Express really is free to use, we make our money from the advertising on the site and on the print-at-home tickets, meaning there are no booking fees for your Special Event visitors to pay! 

• Simple - You don't need to be an IT expert to use ts Express, it is simple to set up and you can easily put pictures of the House or Garden, and any other important Special Event information on your sales page and on your tickets.
• Easy - All you need to do is set up a PayPal account, have access to the internet and have an email address and you can start to set up your online Special Event ticket sales.  Click here to see how easy it is to set up your ts Express account.
• Safe - Access to your ts Express and PayPal accounts are password protected, you can control who will have access to the system for you, protecting your information and your money.
• Secure - PayPal is a secure payment site which lets you take credit card, debit card and PayPal account payments for your tickets in advance, but without you having to worry about handling card details yourself.
• Less work - As ts Express is simple to administer, it won't be a huge task for you to take on and run, important when you have limited time to spare or are relying on volunteers to help.  It will mean less cheques and cash to pay into the bank, and will reduce the number of phone calls they receive.
• Transparent - At any time you can see exactly how many Special Event tickets you have sold, to whom, and how much money you have taken.  You can watch your sales grow by the minute and report back to the Event Committee with all the facts and figures!
• Flexible - Decide how you want to sell your House & Garden Special Event tickets.  You can set different price bands for ticket concessions and even sell merchandise items like books, cds and programmes in advance which they can collect when they arrive. 
• Choice - Let your Special Event visitors pay for their tickets in advance by credit card or enable them to simply reserve their tickets and pay for them on the gate - all using the same online system.  So if people don't want to use their credit cards, you can still let them reserve their tickets to the Special Event online (and you won't get a PayPal charge for this!).  You can even 'sell' free tickets through ts Express helping you keep control of your House & Garden Event without charging your visitors for tickets.

• Visibility - Print out a Door Report on the day so you know who is coming, and whether they have pre-paid or not.  Helping you better manage your event planning and logistics.
• Funds - You can have virtually instant access to your ticket money through PayPal and, once verified, can transfer the takings straight to your group’s bank account.
• Costs - Depending on the number of tickets you sell, Pay Pal’s charges are between 1.4% and 3.4% of the transaction cost plus 20p per transaction.  For example if you have sold 2 £5.00 tickets in one transaction, this will cost you between 54p and 34p.
• Prevention - If your visitors have already paid for their House & Garden Special Event tickets online in advance they are more likely to turn up, no matter what the weather!  And they might buy more tickets for their friends at the same time! 
• Be Viral – the more tickets you sell in advance, the more chance you have of your ticket buyers persuading their family and friends to come too... and book their own tickets online!
• Sell - We give you a web link to put on your House & Garden website that your visitors can click on to buy tickets.  It takes minutes not hours to set up, and you can be selling your Special Event tickets almost instantly, if you email the ‘buy tickets now’ link to your previous visitors, if you have their details.
• Share - Share the buy tickets now link with other websites - your local newspaper, radio station or Gardening Club or Historical Society and people can click on the link directly from there to buy their tickets.  Extending your reach and making it easier for people to buy tickets.
• Marketing - You will have the name, address and email details of the people who have bought tickets to your Special Event so you can contact them with details of future events at your House & Garden, or encourage them to get involved or even join a ‘Friend’s of’Group.
• Promote – Your House & Garden Special Event tickets will get listed on the www.ts.com ticket portal and the other web sites like www.wherecanwego.com automatically, helping you to reach a new audience and boost your ticket sales.
