What types of events do you put on?

“Wellington Comedy is a charitable trust that puts on comedy in Wellington and wider NZ from Wairarapa to Invercargill. Our events include open mic nights, workshops, Q&As and comedy showcases.

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?

“We’ve been using Eventfinda for 12 years and love it. We were doing a show called Cart Ninja at the Little Theatre in Lower Hutt and wanted to be able to see tickets online. I did some research and found Eventfinda to be the best option.

Over the last 12 years, the customer service has always been really great. The system is simple to use and having everything online makes it easy. It’s great to have the extra coverage on other sites too. I like that my event pops up on a bunch of different websites to help with marketing.”

How easy is it to list and ticket your event?

“It’s very easy. Our designer knows all the formats for banners for Eventfinda so it takes me five to ten minutes to load up a show. Tickets are usually on sale within 24 hours. It’s a really simple process. Once we get our posters they go straight up on Eventfinda and Facebook and we’re away.”

We use promo codes and comps a lot as comics often want friends and family at their gigs so it’s easy to do ourselves and works really well.

How often do you log in to the Eventfinda Promoter Portal?

“Every day! I am chronically checking ticket sales every few hours. It’s great. I also often look at the ticketholder details and have collected a mailing list of over 5,000 for us to market to.”

How do you use the Eventfinda reporting?

“We’ve not really taken advantage of that enough but it will be handy for my upcoming funding application for Creative NZ so that we can show how successful our previous events have been.”

What Eventfinda features do you like the most?

“The ease of use is a big plus. We use promo codes and comps a lot as comics often want friends and family at their gigs so it’s easy to do ourselves and works really well.”
