How to Sell Event Tickets Online and Actually Have Fun Doing It!

You’ve got the idea. The vibes are just right. The event is going to be the one. Now all that’s left is… selling those tickets! Don’t worry—we’re here to make ticketing as easy (and exciting) as your event.

Here’s how to go from worrying about people showing up, to being SOLD OUT! in no time, with a little help from Ticketsasa.

1. Choose a Platform That Gets the Job Done

Not all ticketing platforms are created equal. You want one that:

• Is easy to use for both you and your guests
• Offers mobile e-tickets (because who prints tickets anymore?)
• Supports secure payments—Mobile Money, Visa, Mastercard, and more
• Let’s you track your sales in real-time
• Helps you market your event too!

Ticketsasa is East Africa’s favourite platform for events. Whether you’re hosting a comedy night, brunch party, music fest, or conference, we have the tools and the community to help your event thrive.
 
2. Make Your Event Page Shine  

Your event page is your storefront. Give it that wow factor! For this to happen, you need to have;

• A catchy event name. Think fun, fresh, and memorable.
• Stunning visuals—event posters, promo reels, teaser trailers.
• Clear details: what, when, where, and why this event rocks
• Early bird or VIP ticket tiers to create buzz and urgency

Create social media pages that shine, with clear visuals and videos that hype or promote your event. Event goers would want to see what they are getting into before they can make the decision to attend your event.

3. Promote, Promote, Promote  

Selling tickets online is telling the world your event exists. Here’s how to make some noise:

• Tease the experience on social media i.e. countdowns, behind-the-scenes, etc.
• Partner with influencers or past attendees for word-of-mouth magic
• Send out fun email blasts with Ticketsasa
• Run targeted ads with a direct Ticketsasa ticket link

Listed events also get featured on our homepage, social media, and newsletters.

4. Keep the Energy Up  

The hype doesn’t stop at Tickets Sold.

• Post updates, artist lineups, and surprises to keep the crowd buzzing
• Share ticket milestones  
• Getting an events dashboard from Ticketsasa helps you to monitor ticket sales and adjust your strategy in real time

The more you engage, the more people will want in.

5. Let Data Be Your Secret Weapon  

The back-end is just as important as the front. With Ticketsasa, you get:

• Detailed sales reports
• Audience insights regarding ticket types
• Real-time tracking so you know what’s working and what’s not

This data goldmine helps you plan your next event with confidence.
