The key to any successful event is organization. Events of all sizes require staffing to run smoothly. On top of that you're running on a timeline, and trusting specific event operations to dedicated teams is a great way to ensure they're properly taken care of. Take for example the light stage at a concert or the catering at a trade show. You wouldn't let just anyone handle the expensive equipment or take care of the food - so why not put the door sales, welcome experience, or access control in professional hands?

Professional Ticketing Staff Set the Tone

Ticketing door staff are typically the first people your guests will interact with when they enter the event. It's important to have a team in place that is professional, courteous, and helpful. A great door team will help to set the tone for the rest of the event and give your guests a positive first impression. They will help create a welcoming environment. 

Dedicated Ticketing Staff Work With Security

By outsourcing access control staff, you can ensure that your event entrance runs smoothly. Trained door staff know how to work in tandem with security staff to prevent altercations, and de-escalate frustrated patrons. Dedicated staff can help to create a welcoming environment and reduce wait times. 

Experienced Event Ticketing Staff Know the Ropes

Experienced event ticketing staff know how the event industry works. They know how to work with medical personnel, event organizers, security, and the audience. They will know how to handle any situation that may arise. Staff that have worked at previous events will have a wealth of knowledge to draw from.

Sales & Reconciliations

Trained and trustworthy event ticketing staff are vital for ticket sales and reconciliation. It's not only important for event ticketing staff to know how to handle digital payment methods like Yoco and SnapScan, but it's also important that they are vetted and trustworthy enough to handle petty cash. The honesty and trustworthiness of your ticketing staff will be crucial for final, post-event financial reconciliation.
