General

Here are the most general questions people have about our company and what we do.

What is PromoTix?

PromoTix is the world's first ticketing platform built specifically for music events. PromoTix combines ticketing, music event specific marketing, and streaming capabilities in one easy to use platform. PromoTix even offers plans with 0% ticket service fees saving professional music event creators tens of thousands annually. In 2018, the average ticketing fee accounted for 27% of a ticket's face value. With PromoTix, event organizers can eliminate these high fees and keep their total order values. Save money and sell more tickets with PromoTix.

Can I use PromoTix's advanced marketing features with another ticketing company?

Technically, yes... but you'll save money using our ticketing as well. For those finishing out a long term contract, there are ways to manually move data between platforms if you're with another ticketing company. Feel free to contact us to ask.

Can I use PromoTix's secured live streaming with another ticketing company?

Sort of. If your event is only online, you'll need to do all of your ticketing with PromoTix to stream your event live on PromoTix. If your event is both in-person and online, you must sell the virtual tickets on PromoTix for the streaming portion while using PromoTix to broadcast your event. You could still ticket your in-person event with another platform, if you choose. Remember though, PromoTix charges zero fees for ticketing services on our professional plans, so you'll make more money using PromoTix than any other platform.

I have a technical issue. Can you help?

We're sorry that you're experiencing an issue with our platform. Contact us and one of our staff will be in touch with you within 24 hours. If this is an emergency and you are an event organizer with our Professional Package, please reach out to your Dedicated Client Success Manager via email or phone.

Yes, you can add and build fees to pass them onto your customer, and keep them all for yourself. PromoTix will charge $0.99 per paid ticket in addition to the fees you create when charging a fee to your attendee.

Does PromoTix provide advances for putting on events?

We do not offer upfront advances to "win" ticketing business. You will however, receive automatic daily payouts from ticket sales to help you finance and cash flow the production of your event. Additionally, our professional plans are so low - you will save tens of thousands of dollars with 0% ticket service fees in comparison to a ticketing company that gives you an upfront bonus and charges a ticketing fee. We have NO long term contracts, and can show you how you will make more money without taking advances using our fee-free product. Schedule a time with one of our representatives to see the math - and never be swindled into a bad deal again with the lure of up-front advances!

How do I know if a PromoTix ticket is authentic?

An authentic PromoTix ticket will be emailed to you from "no-reply@promotix.com," including tickets which are transferred to you from someone else using our system. We strongly advise against purchasing tickets outside of official PromoTix channels, as there is no guarantee that tickets purchased outside of official PromoTix channels are authentic, and even if they are authentic, there is no guarantee that you are the only person to receive those barcodes. We strongly recommend that you only pre-purchase tickets from official PromoTix event pages, and from others who safely transfer their tickets to you using our transfer system.

Ambassadors

Ambassadors receive commissions for selling tickets, prizes, merchandise, and even free tickets to events. It's a great way for you to get a foot in the door with event creators and producers as well!

Commissions range from a few dollars to a couple hundred, depending upon the ticket type, commission level, and event. You can sell tickets within the app for cash or credit after joining an ambassador program. You can also sell tickets using your unique online affiliate link.
