for motorsport enthusiasts
Motorsport clubs, drivers and event organisers can now take advantage of a quick and easy way to produce and sell tickets online, completely free of charge. ts Express – launched by ticketing provider, ts.com – is the UK’s first free online ticketing service. It can be used to organise anything from a club raceday to collecting membership subscriptions.
The new service helps motorsport enthusiasts reach a bigger audience, save time on administration and do away with the expense of pre-printed tickets. If required, it can also be used to collect membership subscriptions, freeing club treasurers from the hassle of chasing up late payers. It’s been designed with a wide range of users in mind, from major biking clubs organising big events to groups of riders running charity rides.
Clubs, event organisers or individual drivers can upload images with their desired text into the simple-to-use ticket set-up page, and enter the details of how much they want each ticket to cost and how many they want to sell. ts Express converts this information into an A4-sized ticket that can be printed off by people who visit the site to buy tickets. The new service is entirely supported by advertising on the tickets issued, so there are no charges or booking fees, either to the buyer or the seller.
By using the PayPal system, all payments are secure and because the events are listed at www.ts.com, organisers can publicise what’s happening nationwide and attract greater numbers than they would by simple word of mouth or advertising in a local paper.
The service keeps a record of advance sales, so organisers know how many people to expect on the day, which means they can budget and plan accordingly.
It’s not just paid tickets that ts Express can be used for. For example, if you are organising a private party for motorsport club members, you don’t have to charge people for ‘buying’ tickets – just set the price at £0.00 for free tickets or, if you plan to collect payment at an event, the service can be adapted to enable payment on the door.
The only limit to the new ticketing service is your imagination. You could use it to sell tickets to a racing festival, organise a club outing or help boost the success of your next fundraising event.
