Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted February 17, 2015 Showmasters Admin Share Posted February 17, 2015 Over the next few months we will gradually be moving all of our Showmasters ticketing over to the EventBrite ticketing system, which we are currently using on the Sherlocked event. By using this new E-ticketing system you’ll be able to pay online and receive your tickets instantly, to then print at home and bring along to the event, making things much quicker and easier for everyone. Some things to be aware of: 1: There is an e-Ticket validation fee of £2.50 per order. At present this needs to be manually added to each order on the order confirmation page where you enter your card details. Not paying this fee will result in your e-tickets to not be valid at the event. 2: We will be running both ticketing systems at some shows to start with as tickets have already been sold on the old system.

mr fagan Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 all very well assuming you got a printer in which to get your tickets, or you run out of ink at the most pedantic moment. And we still get to pay £2.50 for something we can print at home? assuming we have a printer or a means in doing it? yeah good move but no doubt this post will be removed and or others on here will belittle me for coming out with the what I assume to be obvious..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 You're bringing up what was given as reasons why SM wasn't moving to the e-ticket system yet. It has its pros but also downsides, no one doubts that. Some pros? Store won't close as early. Which in turn leads to less lines at the event because attendees have more time to order tickets. (Which were two of the big reasons why the e-ticket system was suggested so often.) Orders get processed faster. And let's not forget Royal Mail has less chance to lose stuff. You can show the ticket barcode on your smartphone, tablet etc. Also it's not "print it now or it's gone". If something happens during printing or you lose the printout you can simply print it again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DookuDub Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 If I order some tickets now will they come in the normal standard way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 If I order some tickets now will they come in the normal standard way As stated in the very first post, the move is done between 3 PM and 4 PM today. It's now 12.47 PM. So yes, if you rush you will still order on the old system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerraHawk Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Orders get processed faster. And let's not forget Royal Mail has less chance to lose stuff. Welcome to the 21st century. Of course with recorded about £1.75 of the £2.50 postage fee went to royal mail, so its odd that validation fee is also £2.50. But there you go.

andrewrolar Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Does that mean every ticket will be e ticket only, ie no photoshoots sold on the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sammyjane1986 Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Hi i just bought a standard entry ticket for saturday the 21st of march via the new e ticket process and i clicked on both waivers but i dont think i added the £2.50 charge on it. i've already printed out the ticket and such but how will i go about adding this fee? I don't fancy forking out another £8 just because i didn't realise you had to actually click on the link, and that the waiver wasn't enough. Can you help pleaseeee. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
