Online events
Sell tickets for webinars, web conferences or online events
While hosting an online events means you don't need to worry about venue capacities or location restrictions, you may still want to know who your attendees are and have a simple way for them to pay. That's where Ticketebo can help with your online event.
Why sell tickets to an online event?
Know exactly who's attending
A ticket gives you a attendee list and contact details you can work with before and after the event. You’ll also get access to Ticketebo Insights to understand your audience further.
Sell to your whole audience
Without venue capacity restrictions, a paid online event can bring in more people – at a fraction of the cost.
Setting up your webinar or virtual event
In its simplest form a webinar is a live streamed video where a keynote speaker, or group of speakers, deliver a presentation to a large audience who participate using interactive tools (Powerpoint presentations, Videos, Polls, Q&A etc). Webinar platforms typically offer pre-registrations for events but do not directly provide for the sale of tickets – this is where Ticketebo comes in! We enable the sale of tickets for your virtual event and then your webinar platform partner seamlessly delivers your content to your attendees.
How it online event ticketing works with Ticketebo
In many ways selling tickets to a virtual event mirrors that of selling tickets to a physical event, just with the patron now invested in viewing the content online. Moreover there are plenty of added benefits to running your events virtually: you will no longer be restricted to selling tickets up to the venue's capacity; the geographic reach of your potential attendee base immediately increases as travel time & costs are removed from the ticket purchase decision; and with no expensive venue hire to consider, your event can also now be delivered at a fraction of the cost!
We'll set up your ticketing pages as we do with any event and work with your preferred choice of webinar technology platform partner – whether that be ClickMeeting, Zoom, Demio, GoToMeeting, or many many others. For a review of webinar platform providers and other great tools for virtual meetings, this article may be of benefit.
We strongly recommend choosing a provider (such as Demio or ClickMeeting) which only allows a single browser to be utilised per attendee (Demio) or delivers a unique password/token per paid patron (ClickMeeting) – thereby ensuring only your paid up attendees enjoy your event.
