Printed tickets for local events
Online ticketing is not always the right answer. School fairs, church concerts, community dances, charity dinners and raffles often need a simple printed ticket you can sell by hand and check at the door. We print tickets on a decent card with the details you need, in the quantity you need.
What a ticket should show
- The event name and the organiser
- Date, start time and doors time
- Venue and address
- Price, or "free entry"
- Unique ticket number
- Age limits, and any key terms such as "no refunds"
Add a phone number or a website for questions, and a line about who to contact if the event is cancelled.
Numbering and stubs
Sequential numbering makes it easier to count sales and spot fakes. Perforated stubs let you tear off part of the ticket for your records, or use it for a raffle draw. Numbering and perforation take extra time and may add to the cost, so mention them when you ask for a quote. A DL-size (99 x 210 mm) or smaller ticket with a stub works well for most events.
Discouraging copies
A simple, colour-photocopied fake is easy to make, so it is worth adding at least one anti-copy step. Use a coloured stock, a numbered sequence checked against a list, a handwritten signature, or a stamp on the back that is difficult to reproduce. For high-value events, you may want foil or a holographic label.
Raffle tickets and the law
Raffles have specific rules on licensing and ticket wording, which vary according to the type of lottery. A small raffle held at an event is usually simple, but larger society lotteries need registration, and tickets must show certain information. Check the Gambling Commission's guidance before you print.
Card and size
A card of 250 to 300gsm feels like a real ticket and survives a pocket. Uncoated or matt lets you write or stamp on the ticket. Common sizes are business card size, A7 and DL. If you plan to mail tickets, make sure that they fit your envelope.
Ordering
Send your details and artwork, or simply your wording, and we can set up a design free of charge when we print. Check the date, time and day of the week carefully on your proof, as it is easy to pair a date with the wrong day. If you are in a rush, simple tickets with no numbering can often be printed the same day. Numbered and perforated tickets need a little more time.
