Meet EasyExchange by Ticketsauce


The game-changing 100% self-service tool for ticket buyers to upgrade, downgrade and swap their own tickets seamlessly.


At Ticketsauce, we're always looking for ways to make the ticketing process smoother, more efficient, and more profitable for both event organizers and ticket buyers. Today, we're excited to introduce a revolutionary new feature that will transform the way you sell tickets and manage ticket buyers.


EasyExchange empowers your ticket buyers to manage their own ticket exchanges, upgrades, and downgrades seamlessly and independently, without needing assistance from you or a customer service team. Whether your event is a standard ticketed experience or a timed-entry activity, this feature is designed to save you time, reduce administrative hassle, and unlock additional revenue opportunities.


Why Event Organizers Will Love EasyExchange


As an event organizer, EasyExchange gives you full control over the flexibility you want to offer your ticket buyers, all while streamlining your operations. Here's how:


1. Customizable Options for Your Event

You decide exactly how you want to offer ticket exchanges:


  • Choose which actions to enable: Want to let ticket buyers swap their tickets for different time slots? Or maybe you’d prefer only to allow upgrades? With EasyExchange, you have full control.
  • Ticket Type Restrictions: You can specify which ticket types are eligible for swaps, upgrades, or downgrades. For example, you can allow customers to upgrade from General Admission to VIP tickets, but prevent them from swapping their parking passes.
  • Refund Options for Downgrades: If you decide to allow downgrades, you can choose whether to refund the difference back to the customer or not. It’s all up to you!


2. Automated and Efficient

One of the biggest challenges event organizers face is manually managing ticket exchanges, which can be time-consuming and prone to confusion and numerous errors. With EasyExchange, ticket buyers can handle everything on their own, from choosing new tickets to paying for upgrades automatically and with ease. No more back-and-forth emails or waiting for customer service to make changes.


3. Seamless Integration with Your Event

Whether you’re managing a large-scale festival or an intimate performance, EasyExchange works for both. It’s compatible with a wide variety of event types, including:


  • Standard ticketed events
  • Timed-entry events
  • Time-slot-based events, activities, and attractions


This flexibility means you can offer a smoother ticketing experience to all of your customers, regardless of the type of event you’re hosting.


Why Ticket Buyers Will Love EasyExchange


EasyExchange isn’t just beneficial for event organizers—it’s also a game-changer for your ticket buyers. By allowing customers to manage their own ticket exchanges, you’re giving them the power to make changes on their own terms, leading to increased satisfaction and higher revenue potential. Here’s what ticket buyers can do:


1. Easy Ticket Exchanges

With EasyExchange, customers can easily select which tickets they’d like to exchange. No more long wait times for responses or unnecessary complications, they can do everything on their own with just a few clicks.


2. Upgrades Made Simple

In the past, customers may have hesitated to upgrade their tickets because it involved too many steps. Now, with EasyExchange, ticket buyers can simply select their new ticket and pay the difference—making upgrades effortless and more likely to happen. This means more revenue for you, as customers who might have passed on an upgrade before can now do it with minimal hassle.


3. Convenient Time Slot Changes

For events with timed entry, customers can also exchange their tickets for different time slots, helping them to better accommodate their schedules. This reduces the likelihood of no-shows and increases overall event attendance.


4. One-Time Exchange

To keep things simple and predictable, each ticket can only be exchanged once. This ensures that customers have flexibility, but it also prevents the system from being overrun with excessive changes.


The Key Benefits for Your Business


Here’s a breakdown of the main advantages EasyExchange brings to both you and your customers:


1. Huge Time Savings

EasyExchange will drastically reduce the time you spend communicating with ticket buyers and handling ticket exchanges manually. The self-service nature of the feature means fewer inquiries and fewer administrative tasks for you and your team.


2. Boosted Revenue

Allowing customers to upgrade their tickets easily means more people will opt for higher-tier experiences, leading to increased sales. Before, many customers might have skipped the idea of upgrading simply because it felt like too much effort. With EasyExchange, the process is quick, easy, and seamless.


3. Streamlined Operations

For event organizers, managing ticket exchanges often involves a lot of manual work, from issuing refunds to transferring tickets. EasyExchange automates these processes, saving you both time and money. You can focus on what really matters, creating amazing event experiences, while the system handles the ticketing logistics.


4. Fewer Inquiries and Customer Support Requests

With the ability to manage exchanges and upgrades on their own, ticket buyers will have fewer reasons to contact your customer support team. This leads to a more efficient, less stressful event management process.


5. Higher Conversion Rates and More Willingness to Buy

One of the biggest barriers to ticket sales is the fear of commitment, but what if a buyer purchases a ticket and then needs to change plans? With EasyExchange, customers are more likely to buy tickets because they know they have the flexibility to change their day and time slot if their plans change. This increases conversion rates and overall sales.

Recap of the Vendor and Sponsor Strategy Webinar with EventHub
July 29, 2024
Recap of the Marketing Webinar with Bauer Entertainment Marketing (BEM) On Thursday, July 25th, Ticketsauce hosted a marketing webinar with Bauer Entertainment Marketing (BEM), a top marketing agency. For over 10 years, BEM has been a leader in event and venue marketing. The Founder and President joined us to discuss topics such as: What opportunities exist to help make the latter half of 2024 even stronger? How can we collectively get smarter about selling more tickets? What are the latest event marketing trends, tactics, and tools? What are the most recent and common event marketing pitfalls we should all avoid? What are useful marketing tools, especially AI, that you're using? Here are our key takeaways:  Email Marketing: "RFM" (Recency, Frequency, Monetization) are key characteristics of your customers and subscribers that you should craft your marketing messages and timing around. Your emails should be customized based on each of these so you're sending a different message to a subscriber who has more recently opened or clicked on your emails, someone who opens or engages more frequently, and those who have spent more (or less) money with you. Targeting your messages around RFM can improve your campaign's effectiveness and relevance to the person receiving it. Contest Marketing: Contest marketing can be a very useful tool during the lulls of your on-sale period to boost engagement around your event. It can be a useful way to push people to take action in between your initial on-sale and the final few days leading up to the event. Use of Video: Video is KING in all mediums of marketing. Try to keep your videos to 15 seconds or less to maximize your message in the brief time you have people's attention. People are Buying Later: There's been a shift with the majority of people buying their tickets later in the final few days leading up to an event. This can make it challenging for marketers to effectively time their marketing efforts and campaigns to meet the customer when they're ready to buy. Do your best to focus on top-of-funnel marketing in the second third of your on-sale period and shift to bottom-of-funnel and conversion-related marketing in the final third. These were the handful of things that stuck out the most to us, but there were many more tips, insights, and creative strategies discussed. You'll have to watch for yourself and see what may inspire you. Also, see a summarized transcript below the video.
