How are attendees getting into your event? Are you scanning phones, tapping wristbands or tearing off ticket stock? With different ticket options provided by Saffire, you can choose the type of ticket that’s best for you!
Different ticket types offer different opportunities and advantages, so consider what could be the best type of ticket (it could be a few) for your fair or event.
Print-at-home ticket
Online and advance sales are crucial to offer, giving customers a PDF of a ticket that can easily be printed at their house and scanned at the gate. This type of ticket will usually be printed on a standard size of paper and with Saffire’s flexible ticket templates that allow you to promote sponsors on each print-at-home ticket with space to include up to four logos and an advertisement.
Mobile ticket
Just like the print-at-home tickets, mobile tickets are sent to customers who purchased a ticket online or as part of an advanced sale. If a guest isn’t able to print their ticket, they can easily be stored in their Apple wallet and present either that or the PDF on their mobile phone at the gate to be scanned.
Hard stock ticket
These are tickets that are likely going to be sold from a physical location (like the gate) or through partners. You can also facilitate advance sales with hard tickets and we partner with Admit One tickets to provide a stock of printed tickets. Additionally, you can attach a SaffireTix QR code to any hard ticket.
The Power of the QR Code
All of Saffire’s ticketing options allow the use of a QR code. Each QR code is unique, allowing you to set whatever parameters you would like, such as single or various redemption locations and limiting the number of scans a ticket is allowed.
For instance, using different QR codes you can create a series of once-per-day tickets, tickets that allow in-and-out for a range of dates or an any day ticket that works one time only. You could also use it for multiple admissions, so one person’s ticket can get them both through the front gate and into the carnival.
- One option is to print a small square QR code sticker (1.5” or 2”) and place it on whatever you would like–a card, a lanyard, a ticket, etc. Perfect for creating season.
- Another option is to use the Dymo ticket printers and blank tickets to print tickets as they are needed, typically at the box office. Size on these tickets are 2×4” and include event and ticket information, a QR code, and an optional note.
RFID Tickets
Our latest ticketing introduction has been the BlastPass contactless system. Using RFID technology embedded in either a wristband or physical card, attendees can load their ticket with credits that can be used around the fair or event.
Whichever type of ticket you choose to go with, with SaffireTix you can: manage and maintain what fees are charged to customer; access comprehensive reporting including sales reports, redemption reports, purchases reports, cash pickup alerts, audit reports and a nightly reports; and completely manage your box office.
Take control of your ticketing and provide your customers and employees with a fun, efficient platform that starts online, streamlines your box office and simplifies scanning and redemption of tickets.
