How do Presale Tickets Work?
Before the general public gets access to your event, you can offer your most dedicated supporters (such as fan club members or credit card holders) an exclusive opportunity to snag tickets before anyone else. These early, exclusive deals foster loyalty and make your audience feel truly valued.
To access pre-sale tickets, attendees receive a unique code or password, granting them entry before the floodgates open. Presale tickets thrive off of scarcity and limited availability. It's a win-win scenario: attendees feel like VIPs, and you jumpstart your event with a bang! With TicketSpice, limiting ticket sales to a specific group is a breeze; click here to learn more.
