New: Sell tickets for shows directly through your website

Posted by Dave Cool on Jun 30, 2015 in: New Features

Instead of sending fans away to buy tickets through an outside service, built-in ticketing now lets you sell directly to fans online using the Events feature. Best of all: just like with music & merch sales, ticket sales are commission-free.

Sell tickets through event listings

Sell tickets directly through event listings on your website

Fans can buy a ticket right from your event listing. It gets added to their shopping cart, and they can continue to shop and buy music & merch at the same time.

Professional looking, printable tickets

Fans get professional looking, printable tickets to your show Once the transaction is complete, fans instantly get a professional looking, printable ticket by email.

Mobile-friendly guest list page

Bands get a mobile-friendly guest list page for each show We automatically build a mobile-friendly guest list page, which is password protected. You can print this out, or share it with the venue staff.

Ticket sales are another new feature for Pro members. Upgrade now to a Bandzoogle Pro plan to create tickets and use other advanced features for musicians like discount codes for music & merch, SoundScan reporting, inventory tracking, album pre-orders, and more!

Can we change the dollar in Euro and can we let the customer pay buy our own bank system?

Posted by Adam Percy on Jun 30 2015 5:46 PM

@Colorsensation - the new ticket feature uses your existing 'payment settings', so if your currency is set to Euro there, that will be the currency for the transaction.

Really fantastic, thanks! Can the "mailing list ask" be toggled on/off for those of us with Aweber?

Posted by Allison Sharpe on Jul 1 2015 8:28 AM

@Brett - Currently this isn't an option but I'll be glad to add it to the suggestions list. As a workaround, you can check the Fans tab once a week or so. Then export any new members to a csv file, then to your Aweber list. If you have any other questions, please email us from the HELP tab. Thanks!

wow this is big right here!

Posted by Alicia Beale on Jul 3 2015 10:11 AM

Awesome! Thanks! Any way bandzoogle can create an embed code to post the "buy tickets" button, etc. onto other sites? ?

Is there a way of managing reserved seating/tiered pricing or is this just an open theatre option please?

Posted by Desi Thorne on Jul 4 2015 8:10 AM

@Mantra Vega - at this time the ticketing system is only for use with GA/flat-price events, but I've passed that feedback along for you!

Would love to have the ability to use this on recurring events and also different pricing options. Would be great to have adults and kids, etc... We use it for a weekly theater show. I know I can work around the recurring by creating a separate event, but that would take some time to setup. Thanks for adding this feature though!! A step in the right direction for sure.

@The BIG Show Glad you're liking it, and feedback noted!

THESE type of updates are the reason why I LOVE bandzoogle!

Nice guys I look forward to utilizing this baby! :D

Posted by Joni NehRita on Jul 9 2015 10:42 AM

Nice, this'll be a great feature to have! Thanks BZ.

This is nice, and thank you. The inventory limit is important to us. That, and the ability to print a ticket are two useful things that the "store" feature doesn't offer. Is a discount code feature in the works? This would really be useful to us, and is something most venues and ticket sellers (like Brown Paper Tickets, etc.) offer. Thanks!

Posted by Adam Percy on Jul 9 2015 4:06 PM

@The Golden Gate Blues Society - we do already have a discount code feature for our Pro accounts, which we launched just before the ticket feature! And it works with your ticket sales too. In Bandzoogle, click a 'store' feature, then click the 'discount code' option. You can set your code (like 'TICKETSALE'), enter a discount percentage and add it there. Visitors can then click the option to buy a ticket from the event and in the cart, enter the code, click the 'apply' button, and the discount will be applied to their purchase.

AWESOME!! Love Bandzoogle!!

Posted by theCAUSE on Jul 21 2015 12:03 PM

what is the best way to make sure folks don't print additional tickets?

Posted by Allison Sharpe on Jul 21 2015 12:55 PM

@theCause - Each ticket has a ticket number that will match with the ticket list you print out. So even if they print the ticket more than once, they won't be able to use it more than once if it's cross checked at the door. If you have any more questions, please email us from the HELP tab. Thanks,

Posted by The Thirsty Crows on Jul 28 2015 3:41 PM

Is there a way to set what the ticket numbers are? For example we have an upcoming show where we received numbered advance tickets, would it be possible to have the ticket numbers we sell match the ticket numbers we received from the venue so as not to mess with their count?

Posted by Adam Percy on Jul 28 2015 4:39 PM

@The Thirsty Crows - ticket numbers are generated randomly by Bandzoogle when they're purchased from the 'events' feature. So at the moment, there's no option for this, but I'll pass the suggestion up to the development team for you here.

Posted by Martin Kerr on Jul 30 2015 5:58 PM

Any plans to add an option for different ticket prices?

Posted by Adam Percy on Jul 30 2015 6:15 PM

@Martin Kerr - we've had a few other members requested in the blog comments here already, but I'll be sure to add your voice to this suggestion to the development team.

Posted by Levi McGrath on Jul 31 2015 9:27 PM

Is there a VIP / Guest option which may have a $0.00 value ( I guess similar question to being able to have different ticket prices) Door list would need to differentiate between VIP's , Comps & Paying Guests.

Posted by Desi Thorne on Aug 1 2015 7:11 AM

@Levi McGrath - both of these suggestions are on our development list (to add different price levels as well as a comp option.) I'll note that this is something you're looking for as well!

Hi, is there a 'bulk upload' feature for putting show info into Bandzoogle. I am involved with two set ups - one running weekly gigs throughout the year and the other is an annual event which this year has 133 shows. If I have to sit down at my 'puter to input all this info manually I'll probably loose the will to live! However, all the show info is already held in a database from which I can output it into a CSV spreadsheet. jb

Posted by Desi Thorne on Aug 2 2015 11:23 AM

@Edinburgh Folk Club - we don't currently have a bulk import option to add events from a .CSV, but I will pass this feedback along to the developers for you!

I've used this, and THANKS 'ZOOGLERS!' MUAHZ
