Create concert tickets

We are going to give a series of tips to follow when create concert tickets. Keep in mind that there are many types of concerts. Therefore, the guidelines for creating tickets must be adapted to the type of concert to be organized.

Information that should appear to create concert tickets

In general, when creating concert tickets, the following information should appear:

Basic information

Date, place and time of the concert.
Basic information of the organizer. The image with the organizer’s logo is usually included, and a web address or social network may be included.
The data associated with the type of access. Here we can distinguish between massive concerts with different access doors, or minority concerts that have only one access. There may also be concerts that require a specific location for each attendee within the celebration room or theater.

Safety and control information

Include a control element that makes it unfalsifiable, avoiding fraud problems. It is advisable to opt for a unique QR or barcode for each issued ticket. This element will be used for access control, although with bikubo it can also be used to obtain sales statistics and control your points of sale.
The legal conditions can be included on the back of the entry.

Entrance design and creativity

Regarding creativity in the design, if the concert is for a single music group, it is advisable to show the image of the music group that performs. However, if it is a festival, in which several musical groups take part, it is advisable to include the images of the most important musical groups that perform, and also include the name of the rest of the musical groups, or, if there are many musical groups that perform, put the most important groups in larger letters, and the rest of the groups in smaller letters. The font to be used must be adapted to the type of music at the concert, being therefore different for heavy music than for a techno music concert.

sponsorships

If you have sponsors of your event, they should appear with the relevant logos, or simply in the form of a list of names of sponsoring companies.

Prices

Finally, you must include in the design of the ticket, the price of it.

Types of income when creating concert tickets

Concert tickets of different types can be created, to favor the marketing of your concert. Creating one type of ticket or another, or several types, will depend on the expectations you have regarding the ease of selling your tickets, and the expected capacity. The possible types of tickets to create in a concert are:

Early bird:

For concerts or festivals with a large capacity, where there is no guarantee that the capacity will be filled, first tickets can be put on sale at a lower price. With some special characteristics, to ensure a minimum capacity and a treasury for the organization of the concert or festival.

General admission:

This type of ticket is not missing in any concert. It is usually associated with the stands, or the most prevalent locations in the venue. In small concerts, this type of ticket is usually almost exclusive.

VIP:

In those concerts that allow physical separation, assuming a greater proximity to the stage, or access to a clearer area. You can allow the creation of the VIP ticket type, at a higher price than the General ticket.

Free:

Generally, free type tickets can be created to send to sponsors, or to organizational entities that have collaborated with the celebration of the concert.

Donation:

For charity concerts. The entry price can be established as the one that the attendee wants to contribute. In this way, even more can be collected per attendee. Since it can happen that the assistant contributes more money for the implication to the cause of the organization, than for the imposition of a fixed price.

Passes:

In the case of a festival, with different musical groups performing, you can create pass-type tickets for specific concerts. In this way, for the main groups you can set a higher price for their access. Although always below the general entrance. All this, in cases where the number of tickets sold does not exceed the capacity.

Ticket packages:

If you organize a concert aimed at a specific profile of attendees (children, women, men,…). You can go to centers where this type of profile converges (schools, associations,…) and offer them a number of tickets at a lower price, or with special access.
