Ticketrunner - Turning Event Fans into Ticket Sellers https://www.ticketrunner.com

by Ticketrunner

Only 3 to 5% of all events are sold out. Why is that? Not because the events are shit but because event organizers have a hard time marketing them. Ad blockers, ever changing facebook algorithms and millennials constantly being bombarded with ads do not make that any easier. So whats the solution?
Yep, you guessed right: Ticketrunner.com. Because we allow event organizers to turn their fans into ticket sellers and let them sell tickets to their friends in order to earn event related rewards like merchandise, free tickets, backstage tours or whatever comes to mind. How does that help? Well people are 400% more likely to buy something that has been recommended to them by a friend as opposed to a regular ad. Not only does Peer 2 Peer Marketing increase reach and sales but also strengthens the bond between customer and brand as it is built on a proxy trust relationship and it only costs the event organizer once a ticket has been sold and they actually made money.
Ticketrunner.com is a SAAS and works together with all major online ticketing providers such as Eventbrite, PayLogic, Ticket i/O and many more.
Event organizers upload their event to our platform, invite their fans and they will receive their unique Ticketrunner link to share with their peers. We track the sales and monitor the rewarding. Super easy, fast and efficient.

Before we started Ticketrunner we were successful event organizers our selves and managed to sell over 1 million tickets in 60 cities internationally over the course of for years before selling our event. So we know the pan, struggle and thrill of promoting events :D
