Operations Best Practices

The customer experience isn't complete until they are happily on their way home. In our 19+ years of ticketing experience, we've distilled some of our best practices down to what you find below in hopes for you to throw the best event possible!




Entry Operations

The ultimate goal is to exceed expectations with a speedy entry with little to no wait. Consider the following scanning and customer service metrics to execute the best process possible.

Scanning

  • One entry gate station for every 1,000 tickets to be sold
    • One for every 500 tickets if there's an additional activity (handout, wristband exchange, etc) 
  • One scan out station for every 5,000 tickets to be sold (if re-entry is allowed and monitoring scan in/out)
    • One for every 2,500 tickets if there's an additional activity (stamp or wristband) 
  • One special gate scan (VIP) for every 500 tickets to be sold

Customer Service

  • One gate customer service station for every 10,000 tickets to be sold

Will Call Operations

The ultimate goal is to exceed expectations with a fast pick up and little to no wait. To do so, consider the following:

  • One will call station is recommended for every 1,000 tickets expected for pickup
  • One will call station is recommended for every 500 tickets expected for pickup if there is additional activity during pickup
  • One will call customer service station for every 5,000 tickets expected for pickup
  • One will call station is recommended for every 2,500 tickets expected for pickup if there is additional activity during pickup
