Selling tickets

creating an event & selling tickets | scanning tickets | How much does it cost?

It's very easy to sell tickets with NTRY. Simply create an event, and off you go!

To promote your event in the best way, NTRY makes multiple tools available to you

You can incorporate and sell tickets directly on your websites – the integration is done easily using iframe/javascript. We also provide you with QR Codes, which you can put on your flyers or posters – they lead directly to the ticket sale.

CREATING AN EVENT

Visit ntry.at, go to „My Events“ and choose CREATE NEW EVENT.

1 - EVENT INFORMATION

Fill in the EVENT TITLE. NTRY automatically creates a Short URL under which the event will be found in the future (which can be changed). With EDIT DETAILS you can also add additional information.

Next up are DATE & STARTING TIME. If necessary you can also type in your own starting time.

VENUE & LOCATION of the event. On NTRY you can find (via Google Places) numerous event venues – simply click and select them!

2 - TICKETS

Now it's time for the tickets: You can add several categories (Floor, Seat, VIP, Early Bird…) and assign contingents as well as individual prices for each one.

With the Ticket Calculator, you get details about the actual sums you will receive when selling your tickets.

You can add further options to your ticket presale - for example, the maximum number of tickets per purchase and/or email address (default value: 5). You can personalise tickets (in which case the customer will have to state e.g. his/her name, which will then be printed on the ticket) and enter instructions for the customer (e.g. that the festival tickets must be exchanged for wristbands to be valid). These instructions will appear at the bottom of the page on printed tickets.

With the Ticket Image you can style each entry ticket as you please. (Make sure not to upload copyrighted images without permission!) The uploaded picture will appear on the printed tickets as well as in the NTRY app.

For a better overview, we give you the possibility to oversee ticket sales from other services, under MANAGE EXTERNAL QUOTAS: Here you can keep an eye on presale points and quotas.

3 - PUBLISH

  1. Publish your event on ntry.at

    By clicking PUBLISH your event will be visible to all users on ntry.at. In some cases, you might decide to keep your event private (not publish)

  2. Promote the NTRY Event Ticket Shop on your posters, flyers etc.

    Press CREATE QR CODE and get your direct 2D-link to your ticket sales page on ntry.at for embedding on your printed adverts, posters, flyers etc.

  3. Embed your NTRY Event Ticket Shop in your Website

    With EMBED IFRAME you can easily create and design a ticket shop widget. Grab your iframe code to embed it on your website!

EVENT OVERVIEW

The outline above your created events gives you a review on your events ticket orders and sales, based on an easily understandable colour code. The coloured bar displays various quotas and sales. The stats underneath indicate your numbers (turnover, sold tickets, etc.)

With EDIT you can update your event, manage your ticket quotas and fill in additional information at any time. In the TOOLS area you can quickly install and make use of our marketing tools.

VALIDATING TICKETS

To validate your event tickets, you simply need a smartphone with the installed NTRY Scan App. The App is available free of charge for iPhone and Android smartphones (or any other iOS/Android mobile device). You can carry out operations from your own mobile device, or execute them from any other phone or tablet (eg. your staff's).

Log into the app with your NTRY account info and select the upcoming event from MY EVENTS.

You'll quickly develop a comfortable feeling for the scanning process: hold the scanner at a steady distance of 7-10cm above the ticket to be scanned. If necessary, use the options FOCUS (for focusing) and TORCH (in case it's too dark).

The smartphone vibrates during the scanning process to indicate that it's active. The display shows whether a ticket is valid (green check mark) or invalid (red cross), making a distinct signal. On the display you will see whether the scanned tickets are valid for one or more persons, respectively.

In addition, you always have, right at the bottom, an overview of how many ticket holders have already been scanned and how many are (or should be) coming altogether.

IMPORTANT

Scanning usually works easily even under harsh conditions. It is, however, best if you ensure there is sufficient light in the entrance area and that the smartphone (mobile device) is fully charged.

FALLBACK SOLUTION

Aside from the Aztec code, each ticket also has a multi-digit code with letters - clearly visible on both the print@home and app tickets.

On the respective event pages in the NTRY admin area, under TOOLS, you can easily print a list of these codes after presale has ended. If, for any reason, it is impossible to complete the scanning process this list offers an analoge alternative to determine whether a ticket is valid or not.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

No costs incur for the use of NTRY ticketing and the creation of events.

Only in the case of tickets successfully sold over the system will a share (10%) of the retail value be withheld. (Please note for very low admission prices: the minimum charge per sold ticket amounts to 0.60 Euro). The reminder (90%) will be sent to your account within a few days after the event

PREMIUM

The NTRY PREMIUM Service offers numerous advantages, reductions and tools to regular promoters:

Premium customers already start off with a reduced 8% comission rate (instead of 10% for standard customers) for successfully sold tickets. They also have the possibility to reach bonus levels - with an appropriate sales revenue - and reduce percentages even further (see graph).

If you've reached a turnover threshold, your reduced percentage ill apply for at least a year.

The NTRY Premium Service also provides the promoter with further opportunities and services:

No particular conditions for acquiring a PREMIUM Account are required.

The Premium Service costs € 25 a month or € 199 a year.
