Brown Paper Tickets has officially launched a new suite of ticketing services to give individual event producers unprecedented control and power over how their events are ticketed. This release places Brown Paper Tickets at the leading edge of the movement to democratize the ticketing industry and offer customers a rational and transparent fee structure.
Event producers can now automate last-minute ticket discounts, post events to Facebook with one click, and sell virtually anywhere on the globe through a wide variety of payment and currency options. All new services are offered free-of-charge to event producers, in addition to ticketing service options including 24/7 call centers staffed by real people and customizable physical tickets and seating charts.
New mobile ticketing options mean that tickets are no longer chained to individual buyers. With the Transfer-to-a-Friend feature, concert and event goers can send tickets to friends via smart phone. No more waiting outside venues for stragglers to show up, or leaving complicated instructions at will-call. The website also offers customers a built-in resale network to sell purchased tickets right from the main event page.
Visitors can browse through thousands of events across the globe and find tickets to just about any kind of event — from roller derby bouts to business association galas, comedy clubs to charity fund-raisers, cooking classes to rock concerts.
Brown Paper Tickets is one of the top largest primary ticket sellers in the United States. Founded 10 years ago in Seattle, the company has achieved 200% growth in ticket sales each year, with more than 25,000 event producers ticketing 250,000-plus events.
