5 Reasons To Power Your Next Event With Eventbee Network Ticket Selling
November 15th, 2011 § Leave a Comment
Couple of weeks into the launch, this innovative ticketing concept is being embraced by hundreds of event managers across the globe.
Try it on your event too, here are the 5 reasons why you should use Network Ticket Selling on your next event!
Introducing Eventbee Network Ticket Selling
November 3rd, 2011 § Leave a Comment
Wondering how you can take advantage of growing emphasis on social media these days? Eventbee has created the solution. Welcome to Eventbee Network Ticket Selling, the new way of selling tickets on Facebook!
Eventbee Network Ticket Selling gives event managers the ability to easily market to the friends of their attendees. All an event manager has to do is set a commission rate on each ticket sale. Then, attendees post a customized link on their Facebook walls, and for every ticket sold through that link they are rewarded in the form of Bee Credits. Attendees can use Bee Credits to make future ticket purchases or redeem them for other promotional incentives.
This is what Josh Catone, Features Editor of http://www.mashable.com says
“Facebook has an amazing platform for virally publicizing events, but right now, it doesn’t have any way to support ticket sales. Eventbee solves that problem using Facebook Connect in a very clever way. Not only can events be promoted on Facebook via your friends’ news feeds, but Eventbee offers a way to turn your Facebook friends into ticket sellers.”
Network Ticket Selling is not trying to have attendees spam friends. But instead, attendees are just receiving a small incentive to let their friends know what event they are attending, and why they should come as well. Eventbee believes that the word of mouth approach that Network Ticket Selling uses will create a more credible message when attendees inform their friends, resulting in easy and greater numbers of ticket sales.
Eventbee’s patent pending technology allows you to create effective viral marketing campaigns and sell more tickets by effectively tapping attendee’s social graph on Facebook.
New concepts we are introducing part of this feature release:
Bee Credits (B$):
Attendees get rewarded with Bee Credits for promoting events. Bee Credits can be used towards future ticket purchases and other promotional incentives. The value of the Bee Credit always stays one dollar or above.
Attendee Accounts:
To keep track of the Bee Credits earned we are introducing attendee accounts. Sign up is very simple and quick with the integration of Facebook Connect. Attendees are able to view purchases, print tickets and also promote events on their Facebook with simple clicks in attendee accounts.
How do I enable Network Ticket Selling on my event?
Its very simple:
1. Login to your account at Eventbee
2. Go to event manage page of the event you would like to enable Network Ticket Selling
3. Click on Network Ticket Selling link in Advanced section of the left Menu bar
4. Enable Network Ticket Selling and set commission on each ticket sale

Introducing Eventbee iPad Box Office
July 27th, 2011 § Leave a Comment
Back in March, our CEO Bala was talking to a theater owner in Vegas. The owner said, “Why can’t I use Eventbee to sell tickets at the counter? I would like to capture attendee information the same way I do online to better promote my theater.” That got Bala thinking.
The iPad has been on the Eventbee radar since it was released in April 2010- we’ve just been waiting for the perfect timing! Now that the iPad is a mature product with many other capabilities, we’re using it to make buying tickets as simple as getting soda from the vending machine!
Today, we are excited to announce Eventbee iPad Box Office, as feature- rich as our web app. In fact, your event page will render to iPad specific UI when accessed, so there is no application to download or install. It’s a complete web-based, iPad-specific ticketing application.

Box Office URL
Every Eventbee account comes with box office URL. To utilize the iPad Box office capabilities, all you must do is point to that URL on your iPad, and you can display all or any events you choose on your box office.
Box Office Settings
Attendees who visit your box office can view all of your events. When they enter an event to purchase tickets, the iPad Box Office shows the seats available as they appear in the seating chart- so they can sit where they prefer! The attendee provides his or her information, which is stored in central Attendee database, that you can use to promote your future events. Anyone can purchase tickets in moments- the iPad Box office is extremely user-friendly!
