While online ticketing platforms keep the lights on, understanding their fees is key. Many platforms offer tiered plans, so choose the one that matches your event size and complexity.

Analyze different ticket pricing models. Early bird discounts draw in eager attendees and boost cash flow early on. Tiered pricing lets you reward dedicated fans with prime seats (and higher margins). Package deals combining tickets with merchandise or add-ons create irresistible value propositions.

Unleash the power of social media, crafting engaging content and running targeted ads (on a budget, of course). Email marketing is your loyal owl, sending invitations and updates directly to interested souls. Don’t underestimate the magic of content marketing – blog posts, infographics, and even teaser videos can spark curiosity without blowing your budget.
