Here are 5 types of events best suited for general admission:

1. Live Music Concerts

Always consider your audience persona before choosing a seating plan. With events like live music concerts and live entertainment acts, you are better off with general admission seating. The average age range of your guest list might be between 18-25 who want to check out their favorite band with no frills attached. Their spur of the moment ticket buying decision gets fulfilled all because of your general admission event. 

2. Fundraisers & Charities

Nothing can be more memorable and hospitable than people coming together for community fundraising. Keeping these events as an open for all style of entry elevates additional participation. What’s more, is that you can create both general seating and reserved seating sections for events like these.

Every last bit counts when it comes to charities which why we do our bit of giving non-profit event presenters a FLAT 50% Rebate. 

3. Art Shows & Expos

We’ve witnessed a lot of our event presenters opting for general admission in case of art shows and expos as these events are week long. You’re letting your guests move freely inside the venue and on their time and pace. Create variable pricing for weekdays and weekends to target a wider audience and maximize revenue generation. To make sure you don’t overcrowd such venues, you can also designate a quantity for each ticket type. 

 4. Fairs & Festivals 

Being casual events, no one will want to reserve their tickets in advance. Fairs and festivals are perfect for maintaining a low price point to attract plenty of attendees. With general admission, you’re creating the ultimate “Open for All” scenario for those who want to have the most basic event experience at the lowest price point. 

5. Comedy Shows & Movie Nights

Another type of event that has your event attendees making spur of the moment decisions. It’s understandable to have reserved seating for comedy shows and movie nights as guests want to be seated in a good section. Weekend events like these are frequented by working professionals who make sudden plans. To accommodate them, it’s beneficial to keep a certain quantity of seats under general admission.

This is why we’ve introduced the GA Hold Feature, where presenters can hold tickets for their families, friends, or special guests for an event. If yours is a Reserved Seating event, you can select particular seats that you wish to reserve for yourself. For General Admission events, you just have to declare the number of tickets you want to hold and that’ll be all.

By putting tickets on hold, we mean to say that these tickets will be unavailable to your customers and they won’t be able to purchase them from online event ticketing system. This guarantees that your friends, family, or special guests don’t miss out on the event you’ve been working so hard to put together. Sounds amazing? Try it for your next event! Also, if you have any further queries regarding this feature (or anything else, for that matter), we have a Support Page, and 24/7 Live Chat & Email help services to guide you.

Happy Ticketing!

YapStats – What it does and What it doesn’t

Basically, YapStats will figure out all the graphs, charts and numbers for you and all you have to do is create and host an event using Yapsody and download the Yapsody YapStats App. It is a fully functional event stats tracker that gives you your Daily Sales Report, Total Ticket Sales Report, Potential Revenue, Revenue Generated and a lot more right at your fingertips.

What it doesn’t, well, it can’t make a woman happy. Come to think of it, who can, anyway?!

Why do you need it?

As an event presenter, you might have come to terms with the fact that there isn’t a set of particular instructions that, when followed, lead to a successful event. There’s always scope for something new, while sometimes even the oldest tricks fail. But, if you have a tool that analyses your success rate and gives you actual figures, what could be cooler? (Note: It’s a rhetorical question, but the answer is liquid nitrogen. #funfact)

Here’s everything that YapStats can track for you:

• Daily Ticket Sales
• Total Ticket Sales
• Total Number of Complimentary Tickets offered
• Capacity of the Event
• Comparison between Total Revenue earned and Potential Revenue that could’ve been a target

How do you get this cool stuff?

This one’s the simplest – just follow this link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yapsody.yapstats and download Yapsody YapStats on your Android device for FREE.

Next, login using your Yapsody credentials and from the list of your events displayed, click on the one whose reports you wish to view. Easy-peasy!

And another #funfact is that it is absolutely FREE (just like our General Admission Event).

Okay, the last #funfact (and I promise you this is REALLY fun) – Reserved Seating Events now come with a 50% Rebate till 30 June 2016. Create one now and enjoy the best of Yapsody!
