Coupons for Ticketing
As an event organiser, attracting attendees is always a primary objective. With EventBookings’ newly introduced ‘Coupon’ feature, users can now stock and customise tickets using some of the different pricing strategies we’ll outline below:
Alternative to Early Bird Ticketing
EventBookings offers event organisers a better alternative to early bird ticket pricing, a boon to tactical, time-efficient event promotion. Apply this great feature to create a welcomed buzz around your upcoming events.
Customise Your Discounts
Users can now choose between a fixed or percentage-based discount.
For example, you can offer a $10 off coupon to any customer who buys at least 3 tickets. Alternatively, set a minimum value for purchase on which you may set a 20% off.
In addition, multiple coupons can be generated, each with different offers.
Offer Multiple Coupons
Why settle for just one? Create as many groups or single ticket sales as your event needs and catch the interest of those savvy bargain hunters.
People searching for coupons are more likely to get interested in your event with these offers. Also, there is a higher chance that group attendance will rise if this new feature is used correctly.
Clone Event
Looking to create a recurring event? How about an easy template you can use over and over again?
Look no further than our new ‘Clone’ feature. After hearing your requests for an easier and simpler way to copy event details, EventBookings users can now clone existing events with a few clicks. This system allows you to skip time-consuming forms, such as seating arrangements or reading any dietary requirements.
From the event list, click on the ‘Settings’ icon on the right-most ‘Actions’ column for the event you want to make a copy. From the drop-down menu, click on “Clone Event’ and voila! You’ve successfully duplicated your event. After copying your desired event, you can update every detail independent of the previous copy.
As an event manager, having multiple events with similar configurations or ticketing systems is good. Now, with our ‘Clone Event’ feature, creating a wide event library for all your hosting needs is easy.
Attendee Information Form: with Drag & Drop Fields
We understand the importance of collecting attendee information, so we’ve made the pre-booking attendee data collection system easier than ever. In the latest version of EventBookings, users can now easily create forms using customisable fields with a simple drag-and-drop feature.
Attendee data is crucial for a better understanding of how engaging your event will be or who you might be targeting for your next event. That’s why this simple yet effective feature will take the hassle out of attendee forms.
Group Ticketing – for Organisers
Selling tickets in bulk is a strategy employed to minimise the risk of high cancellations. For event organisers, this translates to more people actually attending the event with family and friends.
We’ve also now added a discount to group ticketing, as it is one of the proven techniques for increasing ticket sales (up to 30%). Integrating coupons into group ticketing is crucial for any organiser who wants a large audience and a higher profit margin.

Add Event to Online Calendar
Don’t want to miss out?
Add your latest event to any of the following calendars: Outlook, iCloud, Google, and Yahoo. This feature enables event attendees to maintain their schedules easily with cross-platform access.
Easy-to-find Event Location
We have revamped the map section on the event page, so there’s no excuse not to attend. Find events at a glance with our new Google Maps integration. Now, you can easily zoom in or out and even check the map in full-screen.
Group Ticketing – for Attendees
By purchasing group tickets, you can now enjoy events with friends. With easy seat selection and a range of seating options for groups.
Checkout as a Guest!
We understand that you’re busy, so we’ve implemented a ‘Checkout as Guest’ feature in our 2019 update. But don’t worry, you’re still eligible for all the discounts.
We’ve heard you!
A More Useful Order Confirmation Page
No more confusion. EventBookings has upgraded its order summary page to show a more detailed summary of your purchase, the individual ID of selected seats, and a complete breakdown of the total cost.
Detailed Ticket Selection Window
See all the relevant information in one place during your purchase. Event organisers can create different categories of tickets such as; group, VIP and media, to list a few examples. Ensure you’re selecting the right experience, as all users can now see all available options in the ticket purchasing window. Other additions include the total quantity and price updates as you add/remove tickets.
Stage Positioning
When selecting your seats, the positioning of the stage is important. Now, organisers can enable stage positioning from the dashboard, giving attendees a better understanding of the overall event layout.
New Dashboard
In 2019, we’re introducing a brand new dashboard for our event organisers.
It’s our mission to give organisers and attendees the best possible experience when it comes to online event ticketing, and with new data visualisation and filtering, we hope to provide better visibility for your future events. This update includes statistical and geological information at a glance and new time-based filtering for a more accurate analysis of your ticket sales. We’re also providing better data visualisation for easier analysis when it comes to making future events for our users.
