Getting started with selling tickets online

Selling tickets online for the first time feels heavier than it is. Most organisers run into the same three questions: which system fits my event, what has to be in place before sales open, and how do I avoid a queue at the entrance. The articles below answer those in the order they come up.

The short version: you need a bank account in your organisation's name, a decision about your ticket types and prices, and a way to scan people in. Setting up a ticket shop with Tickable takes about five minutes; the rest of the time goes into deciding what you actually want to sell.

This is also where we explain what a ticketing system is and why a spreadsheet or a Google Form stops working at a certain point: as soon as money is involved you want payments, confirmations and access control in one place.
