Brown Paper Tickets has announced the launch of an updated website equipped with new services spanning from online to offline. A beta version will be made available to the public in early December with the final version replacing the current site in January 2011. New tools for mobile ticketing, advanced sales reporting, last-minute ticket discounts, and social media integration round out services already offered by Brown Paper Tickets that includes 24/7 call centers staffed with real people, hard ticket options and ticket reselling networks.
The Seattle-based ticketing company offers event organizers with an extensive functionality and support package that includes:
Social Media: Advanced integrations include the ability to instantly post events to Facebook synced real-time with your event page.
Event discovery system: Smart, adaptable system that learns user’s preferences for locations, event types and pricing and offers event suggestions.
Last-minute discount tickets: Automated options for event producers and deal notification emails for ticket buyers.
Mobile ticketing tools: For event producers, a ticket-scanning app turns any Android or iPhone into a scanner, eliminating the need for costly equipment. A “Transfer to a Friend” feature allows people to easily transfer event tickets to a friend via any smartphone.
Brown Paper Tickets boasts a 200 percent growth each year for the past ten years, with over 23,000 unique producers and more than 250,000 events ticketed. The company provides event services to all event producers, from national touring acts and large stadium events to small fundraising dinners, while it offers some of the lowest ticketing fees in the industry.
