Fishing clubs, individual anglers or fishing event organisers, can now take advantage of a quick and easy way to produce and sell tickets online, completely free of charge! ts Express, launched by ticketing provider, ts.com, is the UK’s first free online ticketing service which can be used to organise anything from a corporate team building fishing event or tournament, to membership subscriptions for a local angling club or venue fishing licenses.
The new service can help to reach a bigger audience, save time on administration and do away with the expense of pre-printed tickets.
Anglers or event organisers can upload images and their desired text into the simple to use ticket set up page, and enter the details of how much they want each ticket to cost and how many tickets they want to sell. ts Express then converts this information into an A4-sized ticket that can be printed off by people who visit the site to buy tickets online. The new service is entirely supported by advertising on the tickets issued, so there are no charges or booking fees.
By using the PayPal system, all payments are secure, and, because all the events are listed at www.ts.com, organisers can publicise their events nationwide and attract greater numbers than they would by simple word of mouth or advertising in the local paper.
The service keeps a record of advance sales so that the organiser will know how many people to expect on the day, which means they can budget and plan accordingly.
It’s not just paid tickets to events that ts Express can be used for; if you are organising a private party for your fishing club friends, you don’t have to charge people for ‘buying’ tickets if you don’t want to – just set the price at £0.00 for free tickets or, if you plan to collect payment at an event, add to the description “£5.00 on the doorâ€.
The only limit to selling tickets is your imagination – you could sell tickets for a fishing holiday in your caravan in Scotland, a shark fishing stag weekend in Galway, or even tickets to watch you fish all day on the riverbank!
After your event, ts Express will ensure more success in the future as the service provides a database of past purchasers, who you can then contact with information about new events. For more details, take a look at www.ts.com/express
