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!
