What is Online Ticketing and Why Is It Important?

31 May 2025

Online ticketing is the process of selling event tickets through the internet instead of at physical locations or at the event itself. It allows attendees to buy tickets anytime, anywhere — using their smartphones, tablets, or computers. This digital approach is fast becoming the standard for events of all sizes, from small workshops to large festivals.

How Online Ticketing Works with Wowsly

Wowsly’s online ticketing platform is designed to make selling tickets smooth and stress-free. Here’s how it works:

  1. Set Up Your Event and Tickets:
    You create an event page on Wowsly, add all the important details, and define different ticket types (general admission, VIP, early bird, etc.).
  2. Easy Ticket Purchase:
    Attendees visit your event page, select the ticket they want, and complete payment securely online. The process is simple and works on all devices.
  3. Instant Ticket Delivery:
    Once payment is done, guests immediately receive a digital ticket via WhatsApp and email. Each ticket has a unique QR code linked to the buyer.
  4. Smooth Entry with QR Code:
    On the event day, guests show their QR code on their phones. Event staff scan the QR codes to quickly and safely check people in.

Benefits of Using Online Ticketing

  • Convenience: Buyers can purchase tickets anytime without waiting in long queues or visiting physical outlets.
  • Security: Digital payments are encrypted and secure, and unique QR codes prevent fake tickets.
  • Real-Time Updates: Organizers can see live ticket sales and manage capacity better.
  • Cost Savings: There is no need to print or distribute physical tickets, which reduces costs and the environmental impact.
  • Enhanced Experience: Quick check-in and digital tickets enhance the experience for both attendees and organisers.
  • Data Insights: Collect useful attendee data for marketing and planning future events.
