How to Sell Tickets Online in Australia

Selling tickets online should make running your event easier, not add another layer of complexity. Whether you are organising a local gig, festival, market, workshop or community event, the basic process is the same: create your event, decide how tickets will work, publish your listing and start promoting it.

1. Choose How You Want to Sell Your Tickets

Start by deciding what your event actually needs. You might have one simple general admission ticket, several ticket types such as early bird and standard admission, or a completely free event where you only need to collect RSVPs.

A good ticketing platform should let you manage these options without forcing you into features or pricing structures you do not need.

2. Create a Clear Event Page

Your event page is often where somebody decides whether to attend. Make the important information easy to find: what the event is, when and where it is happening, what tickets cost and what attendees can expect.

Use a strong event image, a clear title and an event description that answers the obvious questions. Avoid making people hunt through social media posts to find basic details.

3. Set Your Ticket Prices

Think about both the advertised ticket price and any booking fee the buyer will pay. Small differences in fees can become significant when you are selling hundreds or thousands of tickets.

Evntflw uses simple, transparent booking fees rather than complicated organiser plans. You can view Evntflw's current ticketing fees here.

4. Decide Between Public and Private Events

A public event can be discovered by people browsing events, while a private event is useful when you already have an audience and only want people with the event link to access it.

Choose the option that suits the event rather than assuming every event needs maximum public exposure.

5. Promote Your Event

Once the event page is live, start sending people directly to it. Share the link through your social channels, email list, website and communities relevant to your event.

Keep the buying journey simple. The fewer unnecessary steps between somebody discovering your event and securing a ticket, the better.

6. Manage Bookings and Your Audience

Online ticketing gives you more than a list of sales. It also gives you a clear view of bookings and attendance before the event.

For organisers building a regular audience, tools such as organiser profiles, followers and email integrations can help turn one event into repeat attendance at future events.

7. Make Entry Simple on Event Day

Your ticketing process should continue all the way to the door. Digital tickets and QR-code scanning can make check-in faster and give your team a clearer view of who has arrived.

Evntflw organisers can use the Evntflw Access app to scan tickets and manage entry at the event.

What About Free Events?

You do not need to sell a paid ticket just because you are using an event platform. Free events can use RSVPs to help organisers understand expected attendance and manage their guest list.

This is useful for community events, launches, meetups, promotional events and other events where attendance is free.
