Founder & CEO of SimpleTix.com, the World's most flexible e-Ticketing Platform. Entrepreneur and software developer by trade. My current role is SimpleTix is to seek out partnerships with other e-commerce platforms, payment gateways, and channel partnership opportunities.

Your Oktoberfest event is a chance to show your local area how to enjoy a good brew. Restaurants, concert halls, bars and more all use Oktoberfest as a reason to get people out of the house and into their venue.

If you’re making the most of Oktoberfest as an event promoter, you’re putting a lot of trust in your ticketing app. Long gone are the days of the box office or ticket counter. Your customers want and expect mobile access to their tickets, and during a busy event your staff wants to scan tickets as quickly as possible.

The current options are typically form sites, but these ticketing app solutions don’t have much to offer. Wufoo doesn’t offer scannable tickets. EventBrite has high prices (and they pummel your customers with additional email campaigns that have nothing to do with your business.) It’s not technically spam – but it’s just as annoying.

With SimpleTix as your Oktoberfest Ticketing app, you can create scannable mobile tickets that keep the event check-ins easy for your staff and the party going for attendees. SimpleTix is used by small (200 or less tickets) and large (6,000+) ticket festivals from the United States to Australia.

Here’s why SimpleTix makes sense:

  • Maintain your own branding and design.

    Your venue or organization has a look and feel all its own. With SimpleTix as your Oktoberfest ticketing app you can maintain total control over the graphics, colors and images in your mobile ticketing.
  • Get your funds as soon as attendees pay.
    Your presale ticket sales can go directly into your account for promotion funds and other expenses. There’s no delayed payments or deductions, and you can use your own merchant account, Paypal or both.
  • Empower your staff with multiple users.

    During a busy season like Oktoberfest, you’ll want to delegate as much as possible. With SimpleTix, you can set role-based access permissions and personal settings for your users.
  • Easily build an interactive mobile ticketing website.
    Each SimpleTix site is a complete solution with options to sell tickets to your Oktoberfest event, as well as other products, directly from your website. You can integrate Oktoberfest gear into your event plan and make even more money.
  • Leverage Facebook for Oktoberfest specials With SimpleTix, you can display all events at your venue on your group’s Facebook page. That means that your Oktoberfest event gets extra exposure, leading to more possible sales for you. Facebook visitors can see all of your venue’s events and add to their cart directly from the social network.

[vc_row][vc_column width="1/2" css=".vc_custom_1480416839073{padding-right: 20px !important;}"][vc_column_text]Pacesetter Claims Service is a trusted property claims service that offers coverage across the U.S. They provide daily insurance claim services, catastrophe services, water damage mitigation, and other insurance adjustment offerings. Pacesetter ultimately provides homeowners and renters with essential insurance services. When Pacesetter chose to launch their 2nd Claims Conference using SimpleTix, we were thrilled to handle the event registration process for them. SimpleTix offered Pacesetter custom features like surveys and auto-scheduling to ensure they would make the most of their property insurance event.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_single_image image="26758"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vcex_spacing][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text] [caption id="attachment_26750" align="alignright" width="288"] Image: Hard Rock Hotel & Casino (Conference Location)[/caption]By integrating Pacesetter's event registration portal with a survey feature, Pacesetter can ask event attendees important questions. More specifically, Pacesetter can now request the workshop/break-out session schedules of attendees. This helps Pacesetter determine the specific tracks that people plan to attend at their event. It also makes it easier for Pacesetter to interact directly with the insurance industry professionals who attend their conference. Pacesetter's event attendees are also able to automatically schedule classes that are "grouped" together. For example, if a conference attendee chooses a "Part 1 class" to attend, that attendee would automatically be scheduled for the corresponding "Part 2" class as well. This auto-scheduling feature prevents people from signing up from too many "part 1" classes. It also prevents people from skipping the corresponding "part 2" classes when those classes are deemed necessary.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_single_image image="26755" title="Attendee Workshop Selection"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In other words, auto-scheduling makes it easy for conference-goers to receive the full experience of events. Not to mention, it also helps companies like Pacesetter attract many more attendees at their events! And best of all, the custom survey and auto-scheduling features that are available to Pacesetter are also available to companies and individuals across the U.S, Canada, Australia, U.K, New Zealand and elsewhere.
