Former Music Promoters Built Ticketscene on Necessity to Provide Event Organizers a Free Online Ticketing Solution

Boston, MA, August 26, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Ticketscene.ca, one of Canada’s leading online event ticketing companies, whose humble roots stem from grass roots music promotion, is enabling small to medium sized promoters to sell and promote online event tickets for free - no strings attached.

Ticketscene is launching ticketscene.com in the United States to give event promoters, venues, and festival organizers all the tools they need to manage, promote, and sell event tickets, just like the big event promoters do, except without the high service and convenience fees that are passed onto ticket patrons.

According to John Ioannou, Managing Director of Ticketscene, “Many event promoters and festivals are faced with tons of challenges such as how to sell tickets and make it convenient for ticket buyers to purchase them.” Many of the ticketing solutions are expensive, confusing, and come with different price levels. Ticketscene solves that issue by offering an easy to use service that is free to all event promoters, regardless of size or number of tickets purchased. Ioannou says, "Our promoters keep 100% of all their sales and will never have to pay a set up fee or any kind of fee to us."

Ticketscene understands first had the struggles that event promoters have to endear in order to make their event a success. Ioannou notes, “We were event promoters too. We spent countless evenings postering telephone poles and visiting all our record and retail shops to see how many tickets we sold." Although online solutions were available at the time, many came with high price tags, high service fees and barriers to entry.

Ticketscene was born out of necessity to make it easy for event promoters to sell online tickets without having to pay upfront fees and compete with an inflated ticket price that was made up of service fees. Ticketscene believes in giving the promoter tons of value and functionality while enabling the fan to enjoy their favorite show or concert without paying high service fees.

Although Ticketscene is a free service, attention to customer service is never compromised. Ioannou concludes, “We’re very excited to offer our service in the United States. Our team works around the clock answering emails and text messages, making sure our promoter’s are happy and paid promptly. This is the ticketscene way.” To learn more and open a promoter's account, visit ticketscene.com
