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

Yes. PromoTix supports the sales of "add-ons," which means event organizers can sell merchandise on their event pages, during live streams, and through their ambassador programs.
We try to support as many third party applications as we can to better your experience. Currently PromoTix integrates with Stripe, Spotify, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp, YouTube, Google Maps, Open Broadcaster Software (OBS), the iOS App Store, and the Google Play Store.
PromoTix uses artificial intelligence to help drive sales for your events. It recognizes marketing and sales opportunities and alerts you so you don't miss out on valuable sales. We also show you big data analytical information such as who your event attendees may be listening to on Spotify, who they're following on Facebook, and more so you can make better talent booking decisions. Finally we provide you with detailed customer insights such as average spend, events attended, merchandise analytics and more.
To broadcast your event on PromoTix, you first need to create a PromoTix event. Login to your PromoTix account, and then click on "New event" to be automatically guided through our event creation wizard. On step 1, if your event will be live streamed, then choose the "Streaming" option (if your event will be in-person and also streamed virtually, choose "In-person & streaming").

To prepare to go live, click on your "Broadcast live" tab and follow the onscreen instructions.

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!

To transfer your tickets to someone else using our web console, login to your PromoTix account, and click on your "My tickets" tab from the dropdown menu in the upper right hand corner of the screen. From there, you can see all tickets that have been registered under your account email address.

Sign up or login to your PromoTix account on the web to access your tickets, or simply print your tickets and take them with you to the event. The event organizer will either scan your ticket barcodes or manually check you in to provide you entry to the event. Please note that the entry process may differ between event organizers. For example, you may need to bring proof of identification with you, and the first name and last name on your ticket may need to match your ID. Please reach out to your event's organizer if you have any questions.
If you have a Will Call ticket, bring proof of identification with you to the event for entry. Please reach out to your event's organizer if you have any specific questions.
If you have a PromoTix live streaming ticket, there will be a link next to the ticket in your confirmation email that says "Click here to join the live stream." Simply click on this link to check in your ticket and view the live stream. Please note that only one device can use a single ticket to view a live stream at a time.
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 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!
As an official Street Team Ambassador for an event, you'll have the opportunity to sell tickets for a commission set by the event organizer through the PromoTix Ambassador Mobile App which is available for download in the iOS App Store and Google Play Store for Apple and Android devices. 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. Stack your cash commissions with other rewards that the event organizer offers as well.
Many event organizers reward team members with limited special edition merchandise for promotional tasks as well. Some organizers will also allow you to sell their merchandise to earn additional cash commissions along with some of the gear. Just like tickets, you'll sell merchandise through the PromoTix Ambassador Mobile App available in the iOS App and Google Play stores. Deck yourself out in your favorite band or festival gear.
To send messages to your Event Organizer, login to the PromoTix Ambassador Mobile App, tap on your ambassador program, and then tap on the "Details" button to open up the connected event page in your web browser. On the event page, tap on the "Ask a question" button to send an email to your Event Organizer.
Once you've completed your tasks, they will show up as "Pending" in the PromoTix Ambassador Mobile App until your event organizer has approved your work. Once your work is approved, if you've earned ticket(s), your ticket(s) will be instantly emailed to your email address on file. If you did not receive an email, or if the award was not a ticket, please reach out to your organizer for instructions on how to claim the award.
PromoTix will connect you with opportunities to work for some of the largest festival and concert promoters in the industry. You help them out by promoting their event, and they provide you with rewards such as free tickets to their events.
