Future's so bright, we gotta wear shades. Shanghai promoters and events organizers, this city's first and most trusted English-language ticket handling and delivery platform, SmartTicket, is now hosting an e-ticketing option that enables you to get your tickets in the hands of your event guests quicker and easier than before. Long story short: We're now allowing event organizers to create their ticketing pages and sell their ticket direct. More info on this after the jump.

So how does this all work? How is this different than before?

Simple. Just upload your show information, set the prices you want, and start selling tickets to your event. Previously, the SmartTicket platform worked with physical tickets to accept, process, and deliver orders of paper tickets. We still do that but we've also added the e-Ticketing option which enables guests to purchase tickets online and redeem them with a QR code at the show.

Ah. And how much does that cost then?

SmartTicket's commission rate for e-ticketing starts at just 3%, with no additional setup costs and the option of adding other services, such as marketing, design, service staff, as needed.

Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, what are all these other fantastic services you're offering?

If you decide to go beyond the basic level, you can choose a premium package where we'll include your ticket in our newsletter, feature it on the SmartTicket homepage and on SmartShanghai, help you write a native-level English and Chinese description, and even take care of all your ticketing customer service emails and phone calls if you need it. On top of that, you can hire our programmers to help you create a customized ticket landing page to set yourself apart from other shows.

What payment methods can people use to purchase my e-Tickets on SmartTicket?

SmartTicket accepts both Alipay and WeChat payments, made with a simple scan of a payment QR code after guests select their e-ticket order.

Is it complicated for guests to redeem their tickets at the door?

Not at all. Guests just need to bring their e-ticket (a unique QR code) that is emailed to them after their purchase. They can print it out or display it on their phone. The show organizer will be issued a SmartTicket app that can scan the guests' e-tickets as they come in the door. It's really super easy, but if you want some help, you can hire our service staff to make sure everything goes smoothly. * For more details, ticket/show submissions, and other inquiries, contact us right here.
