What types of events do you put on?
“We’re a volunteer-run group and put on beach volleyball, indoor events, social sessions and training for kids.
These are paid ticketing events, as we have to hire facilities and even our beach events have a lot of expenses. Generally, our model is to recover our costs with our tickets so that we save our volunteers a lot of time not needed to do funding applications.
Our average ticket price is $10 and each event is different – some are easy and not planned too heavily with pay-on-the-day options, and others are longer-running series and sessions. Most events have at least 20 people attending and our most recent social event had around 50 attendees.”
Our average ticket price is $25 but we have done shows from $40 down to $5 bucks in various venues from 50 - 250 seats.”
Why did you choose Eventfinda?
“I researched a few ticketing suppliers but the syndication swung it to Eventfinda as it was a better ROI on our time to know that we would be seen more widely. We’re all volunteers with no marketing budget so Eventfinda was an easy way to formalise and professionalise our ticketing.”
How easy is it to list and ticket your event?
“I feel pretty confident in setting things up. The Eventfinda support team has been fabulous and helped me when I am out of my comfort zone and they’ve been really helpful at setting up the tickets for those long series of multiple events.
Myself and the volunteers find listing really easy to do but the support is so helpful to give us more options and advice. For example, they are readily helping me with partial reconciliation so we don’t have to wait until the end of a long series to get some cash.”
