Event Hub supports 3 types of Premium ticketing
EH barcode Generated
Event Hub now produces barcodes (in up to 14 formats). Where we do this we can create for 1 asset for 1 event or all assets for the full season. Barcodes are securely sent to the "gate-owner" and immediately active. Generally, the choice of ticket supply is a venue decision.
Benefits of using EH barcodes
*
* Produce a full season in 1-2 clicks
** Insert your barcodes into your own self designed tickets. You ticket can be branded and also refer links to your own upsells or advertising. The ticket design remains yours.
** Supply PDF or SMS tickets
** Fully automate supply chain from sales - ticket issue to customer
."Set nd forget"
** you can re-design and rebuild tickets in a matter of minutes
** generate your barcodes based on the actual assets set in our application. No sata matching issues
BYO barcodes (BYOB)
Event Hub allows the upload of barcode files as supplied by ticketing companies.
We can load up to 100,000 barcodes from 1 file in a few minutes.
Having your barcodes loaded means you get all the benefits above, however, we note;
** the asset data supplied must match the asset data in our application; if it doesnt, given the huge data volumes in play - it can become very messy, because
** Barcode files are often very big files and include long format data (the barcode is up to 14 digits), this can sometimes be problematic unless the right skills exist to handle the file.
** You remain tied to the timing of production at the Ticketing supplier's end.
Ticketek API
Using the Ticketek API is a very different process to the above.
