Ticketlab is a user-friendly platform that allows you to sell tickets for your event with ease. This guide will walk you through the initial steps of setting up your event and selling tickets.

Step 1: Sign Up and Register

Head over to https://ticketlab.co.uk/ and click on “Create an event” in the top navigation. Fill out the registration form with your email address and a secure password and verify your email address by clicking the link in the email we send you.

Step 2: Create Your Event

Once registered, you’ll be ready to create your event! The email verification link should take you straight to the event creation form, but you can also hit “create event” from the top of the left hand navigation if on your dashboard.

• Event Name: Be clear and descriptive.
• Start date & Time: Specify the exact date and time of your event.
• Venue Details: For your first event, you’ll need to create a venue. Next time you set up a new event you can select your existing venue.
• Ticket Information: Set the ticket price, quantity available.

Once we have this basic information, your event is set up and ready to go! You can add more information from the Event Edit screen (you can reach this any time via the “Edit” button at the top of your event if you’re logged in).

Step 3: Promote Your Event

Now that your event is listed, it’s time to spread the word! Ticketlab offers several ways to promote your event:

• Embed the Ticket Page: Copy the provided code and paste it onto your website to allow ticket purchases directly from your site.
• Share the Event Link: Share the unique event link on social media platforms, email newsletters, or event listing websites.
• Utilise Social Media: Create engaging posts and stories on social media to generate excitement and encourage registrations.

Step 4: Manage Your Event

Ticketlab provides tools for managing your event:

• Track Sales: Monitor how many tickets have been purchased in real-time. We also send an email to you when you make a new ticket sale.
• Guest List Management: View a list of registered attendees and download it for reference.
• Communication Tools: Send notifications or updates to your registered attendees.

Step 5: Event Day & Ticketing

Ticketlab offers flexible ways to verify attendee tickets:

• QR Code Scanning: Use your smartphone QR reader or our admissions app to verify tickets with QR codes.
• Ticket Code Entry: Attendees can present their unique ticket code for manual verification.

Bonus Tip: Explore the Ticketlab Support Centre for additional resources such as setting up door staff with hand scanners, managing data from your event, and troubleshooting FAQs.

Remember: Ticketlab charges a small booking fee per ticket sold. The fee covers payment processing and platform maintenance.
