5/24/2024

If you’re organizing an event, you’ll need printed event tickets that reflect your brand, relay event details, and help manage your crowd. In essence, your tickets need to balance form and function.

Before we discuss how to design tickets for your upcoming event (and share some bonus ticket sales tips), we need some inspiration! After all, coming up with the perfect ticket design is much easier when you have examples. To that end, we’ve mined a few gems used in actual Eventgroove customer events.

Four Ways to Make Event and Raffle Tickets 

Below are the four most common ways event organizers get stunning tickets. We’ve listed them from easiest to hardest in terms of design skills to help you decide. 

1. Have custom event tickets created and then produced by a professional ticket printer like Eventgroove! Alternatively, you can employ a graphic designer and then pass the file on to us for printing.
2. Choose an event ticket template with a motif that reflects your theme. All you have to do is add important information about your event. If you use any of Eventgroove’s thousands of templates, we’ll take care of the printing (it’s super affordable, and you’ll have your order in no time). However, there are some free event ticket template options available on the internet. For those, you’ll likely have to score some perforated card stock and have access to a quality printer.
3. Use an online ticket maker such as our Design Your Own Event Ticket tool. This method enables you to create a design from scratch through a blank template equipped with all kinds of creative tools, graphics, and more. When you use Eventgroove’s ticket maker, we’ll take care of the printing—satisfaction is guaranteed.
4. Design and print your own tickets at home. For this option, design experience is definitely a plus, as is a quality home printer. Sturdy perforated ticket card stock is a must!

Bonus Event Ticket Sales Tips

• Make sure your event’s online presence and printed collateral complement one another. Your event site and social media (such as your Facebook cover) must also be visually cohesive. This helps create brand recognition and credibility.
• Sell tickets online and share the link to your event ticket sales site on all your social media networks.
• Capture last-minute guests by selling tickets at the door (or wherever you are). The Eventgroove platform is totally mobile-optimized and enables you to record cash or credit card sales from your browser —no app needed!
