Tickera launched this week with a suite of tools for transforming your WordPress site into a full-featured event ticketing system. If you want to sell tickets on your site and deliver them to your buyers digitally, then you have to check out this complete solution. When you use the Tickera plugin to sell and send tickets, you are essentially setting up your own hosted solution wherein you control the profits with no requirement to send a cut to a third party. Tickera allows attendees to check in easily by using a simple and free iPhone application.
Tickera features:
- ThemeTick WordPress theme for presenting events on your site
- Tickera plugin to sell online event tickets on your own website
- iPhone application for checking in tickets
- Tickets with the QR code are sent to buyer via e-mail immediately upon completion of ticket order
- Easy setup, simple to use
- Full control over event tickets, sales and check-ins
- Tickera plugin saves you high commissions you would normally pay to other ticketing services
- Supports both PayPal and 2Checkout payment systems
Tickera comes bundled with ThemeTick, a WordPress theme for the plugin, specifically designed for presenting events. It makes it easy to add the event program schedule, speaker lineup and profiles, sponsors, event gallery and anything related to selling.
Check out a live demo of the included theme to see it in action. Of course, you can use your own theme with the Tickera plugin if you’d rather do something entirely custom. More themes and add-ons will becoming soon, including advanced statistics and the ability to print event attendee badges. All current and future add-ons will be FREE FOREVER for users who buy a multiple-domain license of Tickera.
WPMU.org readers can receive a 50% discount on their purchase of Tickera through August 31, using the ‘WPMU‘ discount code. This discount can be applied to the purchase of a Tickera Single or Multiple domain licence. Scoop this one up while you can still get the 50% launch discount!
This looks pretty sweet! Can’t wait to try it out. Hope they add an Android App soon.
Looks cool. Doesn’t really say clearly though whether or not you can have multiple apps/devices checking people in at the same event. It looks like a screen capture shows a data column for multiple entrances though. Would want to be sure you’re not stuck having to have just one person’s phone checking everybody in though before purchasing unless only planning small events.
@Todd DeHays You can use more than one device at the same time to speed up the check-in process.
Thanks for the info Todd, I was wondering that myself.
Great. Thanks for letting us know. Can you label the devices differently for how they show in the DB? Or does the system just automatically mark them in sequence as “entrance 1″ etc ?
@Todd you can name it differently, for example: iPhone 1, South Entrance, John Smith etc.
very nice ;-)
Tickera just got even better: Multiple-Domain Licenses now include ALL
premium add-ons for FREE. FOREVER! http://tickera.com
I screwed the pooch on this one. I don’t know why I thought this discount ran through the end of September. Crap.
It’s cheaper to use something like https://tickettool.net/ for small events, even for several. They also have wp plugin, plus mailchimp integration, free seats plans and FB app.
Explain to us how “low commission” is cheaper than “no” commission?
I have to buy licence. And all my tickets cost 600. Commission will be 20. How much for license?
