    I started updating www.fearticket.com

    Final price is 35 cents per ticket sold. This is less than 50% of everyone else.

    If you're interested let me know you can email me at info@fearticket.com

    Fear Ticket is also going to be the official ticketing company for all of the Transworld events coming up and Darkness tour.

    So when you buy those tickets you're using fear ticket.

    35 cents it just doesn't get any cheaper and the best system to boot!

    One other thing to be perfectly clear... I think all the current ticketing companies are doing a fantastic job, they're offering great products. Additionally I'm not saying any of the current ticketing companies coming to our industry tradeshows are making the false claims that others made many years ago made about 'our system helps you sell more tickets' which was totally FALSE! If someone at the tradeshow says to 'our system helps you sell more tickets than the next company' tell me I'd like to hear that one. Or just ask them how. I'd love to hear the response. If they say that more than likely they're lying or its some sales gimmick. I can tell you if a ticketing company actually had a traceable way to help you sell more tickets their fees would be MUCH HIGHER than 75 cents to 2 dollars. That I can assure you. And if I'm wrong on that one show me I'll sign up today.

    I want to be clear I AM NOT making those claims about Fear Ticket either. What I'm saying is I personally can help you sell more tickets online and I personally have more knowledge on how to do that than all these ticketing companies combined. Why? Because I'm actually doing it not just selling a service. I know how, I know tricks, and I understanding marketing a haunt. Selling tickets online comes from marketing YOUR event not from a ticketing company.

    So if you have further questions or accusations about what I am or am not saying I hope this shorter version clears it up for you!

    As for our system I feel its better because it was designed for a haunted house, not multiple industries. Our system will feature the following this year alone...

    Box Office (BTW this was a major upgrade which we're working on now)

    Reservation Features (so you can also utilize for escape rooms or even bookings for events)

    And all other types from timed ticketing to just standard system. Fear Ticket will do everything you need for 35 cents per ticket. If you want to pay 75 or 2 dollars or whatever that is your choice. I'm merely offering a system that works better in my opinion for half the price.

    Anyone who has questions feel free to call me directly 314 504 3970 and I'll explain why our system can work better for you for half the price.

    DO NOT OVER PAY ... if you don't want to use us then do this one simple thing. GO TO THOSE TICKETING COMPANIES and say 'WE DO WANT TO CONTINUE WORKING WITH YOU BUT DROP THE PRICE". DEMAND A PRICE DROP and don't even consider another company unless they drop down to at least 50 cents at least or get them to match our price. They still make a ton of money off you... hey this is my suggestion so use us to save yourself more money.

    Its a thought.

    Tallman or whomever you really are this is getting comical.

    I have said for basically a decade or longer that all these ticketing companies that CLAIM they can increase your ticket sales are liars and frauds for making that pitch. Back in the early days when people pitched online ticketing in this industry they all said or at least most said their system was better than the next because their system could sell more tickets. That they had some magical fairy dust to help you be more successful than all the other ticketing companies... WRONG!

    I called this people out time and time again because they LIED! The ONLY person who sells your tickets is YOU PERIOD END OF STORY! You create the demand or lack there of from your product and promotion. None of these ticketing companies today running around our industry can really help you not that I've seen anyway including fearticket. I haven't seen a ticketing company in this industry promote something like this 'we have this massive data base of say 50 million people and we'll blast them with ads for you if you sign up'. I haven't seen any of these ticketing companies go 'sign up with us because we have this massive facebook presence in your market and we'll dedicate 50% of every dime we collect off you to marketing your haunt'. Or how about 'sign up with us and we'll find sponsors for you'. Or how about 'just like Ticketmaster who sells tickets to Bon Jovi, we're selling tickets to U2 so we can list your event right below them'. Blah, blah, blah.

    Maybe one does but I haven't seen it. Today very few make the claims that they have a magical way to help you sell more tickets. Now what they do is buy haunters a steak dinner or act like they're your best friend or something, wine and dine then take you to the farm in fees that NO ONE SHOULD PAY. I think the MAX anyone should pay is 50 cents or below but some haunts are signed up with companies that charge like $2.00 and I'm like WHY WHY WHY? What exactly are you getting for the two dollars that you can't get from another company for half that number or in our case 1/5th that number.

    I believe that ALL these ticketing companies are charging to much because we live in an APP WORLD right now... meaning there are tens of thousands of people out there making apps. If you're like me then you sell a lot of tickets online and that is the future for your business. So why would I want to write checks every single year to use their app? A ticketing company in my view isn't a real business its an application and when you pair that with a sales team you have a business. Why can't someone just make their own app to do the same thing? Well guess what I did it... and based on the checks I wrote for the use of online ticketing apps I already paid myself back.

    So here is what is comical... what you're saying is that because NOW that I"m running a ticketing company that all of sudden I've switched my tune. WRONG AGAIN!

    I didn't say that.

    What I did said however was very simple, that I helped people increase their ticket sales. Meaning I personally. There isn't a soul in this industry that can say they sold tickets online before me, or have been at it longer. At least none that I know of. I've learned from doing it, making mistakes, and everything between. I gave a seminar at Transworld last year, I got a standing ovation from everyone who attended. I've since had people contact me and tell me that my seminar made the difference. Additionally I have talked on the phone with many people who're friends and those same people have come back to me claiming their ticket sales online quadrupled. What I'm saying is MY PERSONALLY KNOWLEDGE of selling tickets ONLINE I have shared with others which resulted in increased sales.

    Are you going to tell me that some ticketing company who displays at the show knows MORE about how to sell tickets at a haunted house than me? That would be a joke because none of them have operated a haunted house for 30 plus years. I have! So when I created Fear Ticket I did it from the perspective of that experience.

    So please just stop trying to be a thorn, or a devils advocate because its not working and you're not getting under my skin because I know what the truth is.

    And here it is... anyone who signs up for Fear Ticketing will get the following:

    1) An incredible system made for haunt owners not haunts and lets say a carnival or whatever.

    2) You are going to get a CHEAPER option to save you money over HALF for that matter... so you can buy more monsters!

    3) You will get 24 hour help if you have an issue.

    4) Lastly and most important EVERY SINGLE PERSON who signs up can call me personally and I will tell them my secrets to selling more tickets online. I've sold over TWO MILLION DOLLARS ONLINE in just the past 16 months. I know how to do it.

    So if you sign up I'll be more than happy to SHARE WITH YOU ways to double, triple or more your online ticket sales in 2017.

    That is a promise!

    And very lastly, I believe that ALL these companies out there selling ticketing services are doing a fantastic job. If their system works, it doesn't crash when you need it most, they get you set up on time, blah, blah awesome great!!!! I'm not bashing other ticketing companies not at all. Their 'APP' is working great because that is what a ticketing company is really just an application which anyone can create or hire someone to create. So when you live in TECH WORLD you have to believe that creating a ticketing application is easier than it was say 5 years ago. So go and create a ticketing app and don't pay any of these ticketing companies and just do it yourself. That is the best options in my view. Find an app company and commission this type of app.

    If you don't want to do that then work with the best ticketing company with the best price. Again I think ALL of the ticketing companies are doing a great job, however don't let a free steak dinner that costs $20 bucks make your decision. If you sell a lot of tickets online then come over to us where no we won't buy you dinner but we'll cut your ticketing costs by over HALF! With the half we save you buy as much steak as you want! That is what I'm selling. Will be go to 5 zillion trade shows... NOPE! Will we spend hours whinging and dinning... no! Will I hire a bunch of commission sales people ... no again. If you want the costs LOW then you have to sacrifice something. I got this to run bare bones so you save!

    And the system works PERFECTLY!

    I totally understand what he said. I think you're putting words into his mouth. From what I said I understand it as he personally helped people thru his advice help people sell more tickets. I attended his seminar during Transworld last year and it helped me. I don't read into your 'snake oil' comment. It appears you're here just to stir the pot.

    If you increase ticket sales by 5 times, then that's a 400% increase! Dr. Frightner you're a good rep for fear ticket, but I'd like to hear from the HAUNTS whose sales were increased by 4-5 times. That's what I want for my show!! If it's legit, then I'm interested... if it's not legit, well guess I'm using interactive or ticketleap. lol.

    Fear Ticket hasn't been updated for Transworld yet. I'm going to update it this weekend. And again for the last time i've said this 100 times already NO TICKETING company can increase your ticket sales 400 or 500% unless you're working with say Stub Hub or Ticketmaster. They also would charge an outrageous fee.

    What I am saying however is that Interactive Ticket, Ticketleap, or whomever does not know the best ways to grow online ticket sales for a haunt because they don't operate one. The ticketing isn't the one who sells your tickets the haunt itself sells the tickets. In all the years I worked with Interactive ticketing never ONE TIME EVER did they EVER come to me and say 'hey Larry we created a tool to help you sell more tickets, or never said hey here are some tips to selling more tickets'. NEVER ONCE!

    In fact it was me personally who did seminars, wrote articles, make dozens of posts here on Hauntworld on HOW TO DO THAT. What I'm saying is I was probably the first haunt to ever really advocate selling online and I was the first to advocate not paying a zillion dollars for the service. In fact I did a seminar about it last year at Transworld and funny thing is Interactive Ticket came to MY SEMINAR! Isn't that funny? I like the guys from Interactive Ticket nice guys, same with the guys from ticket leap or whomever. That isn't the point the point is I know how to sell haunt tickets better than all those guys because I'm actually doing it on both ends not just one.

    No matter how you look at it this is a fact... all these ticketing companies are providing a service nothing more. its not a service that you can't create on your own ... people are making aps almost every day. Do you think you can create a ticketing app? Anyone can if you have the money. You can create a better one for you than any of the ones out there now ... but its going to cost some up front money for sure.

    I know haunts in this industry RIGHT NOW who did just that and they use NO TICKETING company.

    Bottom line I created one and I think mine was created just for haunts and works incredible. I also feel its the best one out there for haunts otherwise I wouldn't promote it and promote it offering you a better than 50% discount.

    The service I'm providing is NO DIFFERENT really than any of the other services out there... oh yeah there is one its cheaper but in my opinion works better.

    If you called me and I talked to you by phone yes I can help you TRIPLE your online ticket sales but will my system help you do that NO ... will Interactive ticketings not from my experience. I'm saying I personally will help you!

    Big difference.

    Who is using fearTickets.com ?

    .
    gotcha. thanks. price is important, but i'm not just looking for the cheapest option. Tho I'm not sure we're talking about the same system - fearticket .com says .16 per ticket on their homepage.

    13th Gate, Double M and others using fear tickets... did your sales increase 400-500% like dr frightner said? Because that would be huge for our show. please advise & Thank you!!

    I personally helped people learn how to sell more tickets online. I even did a seminar last year about it during Transworld.

    But anyone who used our system if I personally talked to them I gave them insight on how to sell more tickets. NO ticketing system is going to help you sell more tickets unless its like umm Ticketmaster and they blast it out to everyone in their database.

    One way a ticketing company can help you is by giving you more control over the cost of your tickets... which is exactly what we're doing.

    We can't do 16 cents we're going to be at 35 cents. Last year we learned a lot about what its going to take to take care of customers and at the same time update the system.

    Updating the system is ongoing and costs money. So at 35 cents I think we're the lowest without a doubt.

    Well I'm about to update that website sometime this week. Last year was more or less a learning process so we didn't get aggressive for new clients. We had to figure out exactly what it would take to help 5 clients which would give us an idea for 50 clients. The first year it was just me I was the only client we did that to make sure it worked and as an ongoing upgrade type of thing. In other words when I used it the first year as we went along I would notice things we should change or upgrade. After that first round the second round was to take on some clients to see how that would work like customer service was a big one.

    In taking on some clients we learned a few more things... we have settled on a ticket price per transaction at 35 cents. When you stop and think about all the ticketing companies out there and most of them are at 75 cents or a lot more we're the cheapest for sure.

    Every step is a learning process. So now I've had the system for THREE YEARS this will be YEAR FOUR actually... the very first year we had no one used it.

    So between the two years we've used the system over 4 million dollars of tickets have run thru it so I'm pretty sure it works just fine! LOL

    Now we're going to get aggressive looking for clients. Lastly by having some clients last year we realized we need even more upgrades so we're taking on that project right now. Look with anything I do I want it to be the best, so when there is a potential idea that could put us over the top I'm doing it.

    A fear ticket customer

    Double M's Haunted Hayrides would like to send out a thank you Larry and your staff. You guys set up timed ticketing for us, incorporating our current reservation system. Your IT people were persistent and made it work for us. You can't beat the pricing! I would recommend fear ticket to anyone and look forward to working with you in the future. Hopefully 2017's weather cooperates a little better. Thanks again.

    Couple updates about Fear Ticket because I've been getting a lot of emails about it.

    1) We didn't push it hard last year because we wanted to test working with no more than 10 clients. We did that and had a successful test. We needed to know when we scale how many people are needed to set up accounts, how many people are needed for 24/7 customer support, etc. Everything done. We're now ready to take on as many as 50 clients. Everyone who used our system last year has great things to say including 13th Gate. I once again sold right at one million dollars thru the system and I helped other haunts not only increase ticket sales but times them by 4 to 5 times.

    2) We have settled on a new theme that we'll cut your ticketing prices in HALF! In other words bring us YOUR BILL and YOUR PRICE will be reduced by 50%. Our ticketing price across the board will be roughly 35 cents per ticket sale.

    3) Our ticketing system is the best one out there because it was designed just for the haunt industry. We're as we speak adding even more features and will have a massive display at the Transworld show. Check out our ad.

    So, what's the final veridic Larry? Is the new system working well enough to trot out for regular use? Did you get any and all bugs worked out?
