Affordable DIY Online Ticketing – TryBooking

Running an event of any sort is hard work and of course the ticketing is never easy. I recently discovered TryBooking, which has a community focus and offers sophisticated technology made simple, accessible and affordable. They have some great reviews.

About The TryBooking System

This is a self-managed ticketing system, specifically designed for tourism operators, event organisers, venues and community organisations such as schools and charities.

Online Ticketing

Online ticketing means less time spent on enquiries, less paperwork, easier financial management and instant access to all bookings. Tickets can be sold 24/7 without having to answer the phone send out tickets etc.

The Fees

With the lowest fees in the industry, TryBooking offers a free service if your event is free. You pay 30 cents per ticket purchased and event organisers only cover the bank transaction fee (2.1% + 50 cents per booking).

Setting Up

Set-up wizards guide you as you create your own event page and tickets. You can upload graphics and logos, customise and make changes at any point during your event – easy to do and costs nothing.
