How the AFL accepted card payments with no terminals through the VFL Finals

What is the most effective way to manage ticketing when you have an event where most attendees want to pay upon entry?

<h2>The Challenge</h2>
<p>What is the most effective way to manage ticketing when you have an event where most attendees want to pay upon entry? This question was critical for the Victorian Football League (<a href="https://www.intix.com.au/org/vfl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">VFL</a>) as they approached their Finals series which anticipated crowds largely comprised of walk-up sales. To complicate the picture, this series extended over multiple weekends with multiple venues; all of which had different levels of ticketing infrastructure, no unified approach to event day sales and no way to ensure capacity management or safe cash handling for high volume events!</p>
<h2>The Solution</h2>
<p>Enter the<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/apple-tap-to-pay-on-iphone" target="_blank" rel="noopener">INTIX Box Office</a>, an app-based ticketing box office that works directly from any smart device. The first company in Australia to offer<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/apple-tap-to-pay-on-iphone" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tap to Pay on iPhone</a>, INTIX Box Office allows you to sell tickets directly from your smartphone in seconds with complete security.</p>
<h3><i>Low-resource and Low-cost Event Sales</i></h3>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/apple-tap-to-pay-on-iphone" target="_blank" rel="noopener">INTIX Box Office with Tap to Pay</a><span>&nbsp;</span>works to transform your smartphone into a single solution to the multiple pieces of infrastructure that are usually required to run a box-office. It can be costly not only to invest in hardware like point-of-sale terminals, payment terminals, ticket printers, and wi-fi dongles, but they also need regular updating and quickly age out of being able to be integrated with changing technology. Alongside these costs, there are the logistical challenges of making sure this hardware gets to each venue, that equipment is set up and tested before gates open, and has access to power or reliable wi-fi across your event (a big challenge for outdoor events). With INTIX Box Office, the event administrator can set up all the conditions for ticket sales remotely and on the event day it is as simple as downloading an app to your phone!</li>
<li>With traditional approached, with so many systems and hardware in play, it can be time consuming to train event staff and often requires senior staff to be on hand to offer technical troubleshooting during busy events. With INTIX Box Office, training is as simple as providing instructions to download an app, inviting staff to login to the event, and less than 2 minutes to demonstrate how to use the app to complete a sale. Having one user friendly solution with no capital investment in hardware transformed the<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/org/vfl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">VFL</a><span>&nbsp;</span>event-day ticketing into a low-resource and low-cost outcome; saving on infrastructure, operational and staffing cost and resources.</li>
</ul>
<blockquote><i>"The Club has been delighted with the services provided [by INTIX] both in preparation and delivery...and we have been delighted we made the decision to engage their services.<br><br>The Carlton Football Club prides itself on presenting the highest standard to our stakeholders...and I am pleased to advise the team at INTIX have delivered and met these expectations." - Martin Shannon</i></blockquote>
<h3><i>Easy Event Days</i></h3>
<ul>
<li>With INTIX, both sales and ticket scanning can be completed on a single device through downloading easy to use apps. The best benefits here aren’t just savings on infrastructure, staffing and logistics, the apps facilitate event entries with ease and speed. The<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/org/vfl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">VFL</a><span>&nbsp;</span>Finals were a high-capacity event series and the combination of INTIX Box Office and 2.0 Scanning apps allowed entry processes to be streamlined, making waiting in lines a thing of the past and ultimately creating the best possible event experience for attendees from the moment they reached the ground!</li>
<li>INTIX apps require connection to a phone network and use a very small amount of data. Event staff responded positively to using their own devices at events; the convenience and familiarity of using their own devices encouraged confidence and self-sufficiency, allowing them to focus on the most important part of their job: getting attendees into the event with ease! For events that may prefer to use tablet devices or may only have access to wi-fi, Stripe Bluetooth payment readers can be easily connected as an alternative way of taking payment.</li>
</ul>
<h3><i>The Bigger Picture Benefits</i></h3>
<ul>
<li>Audience growth is a built-in feature of INTIX as purchasers are easily able to become subscribers to your organisation. The<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/org/vfl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">VFL</a><span>&nbsp;</span>saw unprecedented digital pre-sales for their events as the season continued as they were able to announce when new events went on sale to their existing Finals audience. Using the INTIX Marketing suite involves no additional costs, allows you to send event announcements, emails and push notifications to your subscribers with ease and, just like the<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/org/vfl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">VFL</a>, encourages great sales conversion. The<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/org/vfl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">VFL</a><span>&nbsp;</span>observed 10x growth in both online sales and audience growth over the first 3 weeks of their Finals. (update with growth analytics from finals!!)</li>
<li>There are additional organisational benefits to using the Tap-to-Pay solution through INTIX Box Office. While online ticketing gives you direct insight into who is purchasing tickets to your events, typically walk-up sales are a mystery. With tokenised Stripe payments, any cards used previously in the INTIX system will be recognised and fed into your audience analytics. For the<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/org/vfl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">VFL</a>, this data is essential to understanding their audiences and setting up the league for informed growth.</li>
<li>It can be daunting, but there are a lot of reasons to consider switching to cashless payment options for events and the<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/org/vfl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">VFL</a><span>&nbsp;</span>Finals are a great example of the benefits of this change. Post-Covid, most of the public are well-educated in cashless payments in retail and event spaces. For the<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/org/vfl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">VFL</a>, there were some reservations about transitioning to cashless payments; would the walk-up crowd for match days expect to be able to pay cash and how much of a problem would this create? In practice, these concerns proved unfounded. Across the season less than a handful of customers came only armed with cash and it was easy for someone friendly with a card to make a purchase on behalf of these individuals. As the season progressed, attendees became aware of cashless payment and came prepared for card payments, even noting directly to staff how this was making entry to the games faster and easier.</li>
<li>While<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/apple-tap-to-pay-on-iphone" target="_blank" rel="noopener">INTIX Box Office</a><span>&nbsp;</span>offers the ability to charge a sale to cash – you are invoiced for your ticketing fees on these sales post-event– it’s worth considering whether offering cash sales is truly benefiting your business. Cash handling is resource intensive and fraught with error; beyond costly payment infrastructure, you need to organise cash floats, you require security for cash handling, and there is the messy business of reconciliation after the event. If cash payment is a requirement of only a fraction of your event attendees, the costs of including this convenience may no longer add up and the INTIX Box Office solution is for you; one device taking all sales with all income reconciled directly in your Stripe account with no margin for error.</li>
</ul>
<blockquote><i>"As a club that is always looking to innovate and provide better [operations] we were keen to find a ticketing system [INTIX] that could provide us with CRM, Marketing, Game Day and Event access and more. The INTIX system has provided us with all of this and we have found it a great product." - Paul Malcolm</i></blockquote>
<h2>The Outcomes</h2>
<p>With a single low-cost and easy to implement solution for sales and scanning, the<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/org/vfl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">VFL</a><span>&nbsp;</span>were able to manage gate sales in a way that reduced administrative and staffing support while creating a great walk-up experience for event attendees. Add to this a huge boost to pre-sales and audience growth through the INTIX ecosystem and you have an unbeatable system for ticket sales and audience management.</p>
<h3><i>How do we make it happen?</i></h3>
<p>With INTIX , both sales and scanning can be managed with a single device and the INTIX team makes the transition to these systems a breeze and our support team make sure implementation is pain-free. Taking the time to understand your events and the unique needs of your audiences, INTIX staff are well positioned to advise on the best approaches to ticketing your event. We offer dedicated client management to onboard staff and provide ongoing support for using INTIX. For the<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/org/vfl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">VFL</a><span>&nbsp;</span>this included direct training with event administrators, video meetings to guide individual Clubs through systems prior to event days, and alongside supplementary guides to refer to on the day, allowed them to confidently train event staff and volunteers in scanning and sales in minutes. INTIX also offers out-of-hours tech support directly with our Melbourne based team and can assist with staffing support for major events. At all points of your ticketing journey, INTIX makes sure you have the back up you need, when you need it most.</p>
<blockquote><i>"We have been extremely fortunate to partner with INTIX...who have provided the resources, care and support needed to ensure our customers have a great experience at the footy." - Marcus Ashcroft</i></blockquote>
<p>While<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/org/vfl" target="_blank" rel="noopener">VFL</a><span>&nbsp;</span>finals may be large scale events, the combination of using INTIX for easy Tap to Pay sales on event day sales and ticket scanning is something that can be scaled to any size of event. The advantages remain true, you minimise infrastructure costs, event administration and staffing requirements as benefits to your business while making event entry easy and seamless for your attendees.</p>

<h2>The Problem</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/artist/southside-flyers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Southside Flyers</a><span>&nbsp;</span>are a National Women's League Basketball Club from Melbourne, Australia who found that the ticketing, marketing and event operation needs of the club were complex and hard to manage. Using a combination of software platforms and ad-hoc manual lists, there was no way to communicate between these systems, leading to burdensome administration and a limited understanding of the activities of their audience.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/artist/southside-flyers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Southside Flyers</a><span>&nbsp;</span>needs were diverse, as were their management of these needs; online ticket sales, event day ticket sales, club memberships, club accreditation, complimentary ticketing, audience marketing and event-day ticketing operations were all being coordinated in different ways. This approach was burdensome on time-poor staff, prone to error, and took an array of expensive platform subscriptions and event infrastructure to manage. Critically, this left little resources left for the important activities of audience growth and development.</p>
<h2>The Solution</h2>
<p>Enter INTIX, a comprehensive digital ticketing and audience management ecosystem, that was a perfect fit to allow<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/artist/southside-flyers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Southside Flyers</a><span>&nbsp;</span>to streamline their event administration through a single low-cost and easy to use platform. The immediate benefits were apparent:</p>
<ul>
<li>A unified system for event administration eliminated the need to pay subscription fees to membership, marketing and sales platforms, as well as reducing administrative labor for<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/artist/southside-flyers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Southside Flyers</a><span>&nbsp;</span>staff as varied functions can be automated from within the INTIX platform. Best of all for any organisation, fees from all sales can be passed on to customers and revenue is instantly reconciled at the time of purchase; no more additional work for your Finance team, confusing settlements or waiting until post-event to have access to your funds.</li>
<li>Online membership and ticket sales experiences were improved for<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/artist/southside-flyers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Southside Flyers</a><span>&nbsp;</span>audiences through secure digital payments and dedicated INTIX customer service support for purchasers. With the option to select their own seats at the time of purchase and access to tickets via their INTIX ticket wallet, customers are given the flexibility to manage their experience including forwarding tickets, changing ticket names, and even reselling their tickets, reducing the need for manual assistance from club staff.</li>
<li>The integrated INTIX 2.0 Scanning app and INTIX Box Office app with Tap to Pay streamlined quick and hassle-free event entry for audiences while minimizing infrastructure and staffing costs for<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/artist/southside-flyers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Southside Flyers</a><span>&nbsp;</span>to manage game day operations.</li>
<li>Sales and attendance analytics are updated in real-time within INTIX and can be used to enhance your event marketing and grow your audience. Sending push notifications and fully customisable eDMs from within the platform allowed the<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/artist/southside-flyers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Southside Flyers</a><span>&nbsp;</span>to easily promote Memberships and event on-sales to their audience to see immediate sales outcomes.</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Outcomes</h2>
<p>Here is what<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/artist/southside-flyers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Southside Flyers</a><span>&nbsp;</span>have to say about how INTIX has changed their approach to ticketing and audience management:</p>
<blockquote><i>"INTIX was the right fit for the Southside Flyers. We were moving to a new stadium and needed a solution that streamlined ticketing and membership administration and introduced patrons and members to a new, efficient digital ticketing service. INTIX provided a versatile, easy to use and maintain cost effective system and worked closely with us to implement, ensuring it was easy to use and maintain. Importantly the client support provided by INTIX has been exceptional, whenever we needed assistance or advice on the best outcomes for sales and audience growth and support for our customers, INTIX were quick to assist and deliver the best solutions. The ability to pass on fees to customers, and the instant revenue reconciliation has been very valuable to our team."</i><span>&nbsp;</span>- Ian Coutts</blockquote>
<h3><i>How do we make it happen?</i></h3>
<p>Transitioning from familiar systems can seem like a daunting task, especially in the time-poor events industry, but INTIX is an easy-to-use system. Not only is it a time and money-saving platform that can streamline your ticketing and audience management, INTIX provides full client support to make this transition pain-free.

A Winning Ticketing Strategy for Sports Leagues

How Hockey One transformed their ticketing and audience management with INTIX.

<section aria-fingerprint="ytanmxz">
<div id="articleText">
<section aria-fingerprint="pubxnu">
<div>
<div>
<div id="articleText">
<h2>The Challenge</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/discover/sports/hockey-one" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hockey One</a><span>&nbsp;</span>is Australia’s National Hockey League comprised of 7 franchises. Historically, individual clubs have been managing their own event ticketing and membership through a range of systems. Data manually surfaced from these systems was administratively burdensome to understand and prone to error, leaving Hockey One without a reliable source of truth to understand league audiences and revenue. Understanding audiences is critical for league growth and a non-unified approach to ticketing was creating roadblocks for Hockey One to create effective growth strategies or easily communicate with their audiences.</p>
<h2>The Solution</h2>
<p>Enter<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/">INTIX</a>, a comprehensive digital ticketing and audience management platform, that was able to provide a flexible ticketing solution for individual clubs, a platform to centrally manage finals series ticketing, as well as a platform that could allow Hockey One to have greater access to sales and audience data across the league. This set the league up for easy marketing and great sales results as they moved towards their finals.</p>
<p>The move to<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/">INTIX</a><span>&nbsp;</span>had measurable benefits to Clubs, customers and the League overall:</p>
<blockquote><i>"The<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/">INTIX</a><span>&nbsp;</span>team were enormous help in the lead up to the Finals, as they provided great advice on what might work and what could be improved through the system's capability."</i><span>&nbsp;</span>- Sash Herceg</blockquote>
<h3><i>Club Benefits</i></h3>
<ul>
<li>A League-wide agreement to use INTIX as the<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/discover/sports/hockey-one" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hockey One</a><span>&nbsp;</span>ticketing provider allowed individual clubs to access to INTIX at the best possible price, ensuring that club revenue is maximized while having access to a system that has the versatility of streamlining season memberships, online ticketing, accreditation, event-day sales, marketing and audience analytics all from within one easy-to-use platform. The cost and time savings were evident: no subscription to business management and marketing tools, a reduction in time-consuming event administration, and, best of all, clubs receive pay-outs from their ticket sales in real-time giving you access to funds when you need them most.</li>
<li>The integrated<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://support.intix.com/hc/en-us/articles/360024803433" target="_blank" rel="noopener">INTIX Scanning app</a><span>&nbsp;</span>and<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/apple-tap-to-pay-on-iphone" target="_blank" rel="noopener">INTIX Box Office app with Tap to Pay</a><span>&nbsp;</span>streamlined quick and hassle-free event entry for audiences. Alongside a great match-day experience for guests, this minimised infrastructure and staffing costs for clubs to manage event sales and operations.</li>
<li>INTIX was able to offer dedicated onboarding and support to all clubs to manage their sales and audiences across the season, empowering clubs to use INTIX with ease and confidence. INTIX were on hand to help develop customised solutions to suit the needs of each club and ensure the best outcomes for club and customer alike.</li>
</ul>
<h3><i>Customer Benefits</i></h3>
<ul>
<li>INTIX creates a seamless user experience through secure digital payments, dedicated customer support, and a<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/about/app" target="_blank" rel="noopener">digital ticket wallet</a><span>&nbsp;</span>that allows purchasers to see all their tickets in one place. With INTIX, customers are empowered with a range of self-service options like ticket forwarding and re-sale to manage their tickets. This allowed for a consistent and elevated ticketing experience for customers across the league and built great positive sentiment for<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/discover/sports/hockey-one" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hockey One</a>.</li>
</ul>
<h3><i>League Benefits</i></h3>
<ul>
<li>By unifying all League sales through one platform,<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/discover/sports/hockey-one" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hockey One</a><span>&nbsp;</span>was able to build their audience significantly. By including a league marketing opt-in across all club events,<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/discover/sports/hockey-one" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hockey One</a><span>&nbsp;</span>was able to significantly increase their subscriber audience and have the data and contacts they need to create strategic growth. Eliminating the need for complex data management,<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/discover/sports/hockey-one" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hockey One</a><span>&nbsp;</span>were poised to promote their Finals series to great success during the season as well as being set-up with all the data they need to engage with and grow their audiences post-season.</li>
<li>INTIX is able to facilitate easy to navigate and visually appealing ticket landing pages that can increase sales across a league. Through a<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/discover/sports/hockey-one" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hockey One</a><span>&nbsp;</span>landing page, customers were able to see and purchase tickets for all club games from one link. Not only could this maximise the reach of club and league marketing activities, but it also encouraged great sales conversion by making it easy for customers to locate tickets for any match.</li>
<li>INTIX provides the perfect ticketing solutions for managing ticketing during finals. By building finals events at a league level,<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/discover/sports/hockey-one" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hockey One</a><span>&nbsp;</span>were able to reduce the administrative burden on host clubs, avoided the complicated reconciliation of event sales between clubs and the league, created great visibility of sales and audiences across the series, and allowed<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/discover/sports/hockey-one" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hockey One</a><span>&nbsp;</span>to agilely pivot sales strategy to maximise finals match sales.</li>
</ul>
<blockquote><i>"At the League level, it's been great to have all the statistics and data across the League easily accessible to help us make real-time decisions." - Sash Herceg</i></blockquote>
<h2>The Outcomes</h2>
<p>INTIX allows you to create not only a great ticketing experience for your League audiences, but allows you to see the picture of the League in one place and at a glance. Not only does this improve administration at a Club level, but allows your League to have analytics that can support agility, strategy and growth.</p>
<p>Here is what Sash Herceg, Executive Manager -<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/discover/sports/hockey-one" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hockey One</a>, has to say about how INTIX has changed their approach to League ticketing and audience management:</p>
<blockquote><i>"From the beginning, Alex and the team at INTIX have been amazing to deal with - always ready to address any feedback from the Clubs or the League. They invested a lot of time and effort in helping us set up the system at the start, and continued to support us throughout the season."</i></blockquote>
<h3><i>How do we make it happen?</i></h3>
<p>Getting buy-in from clubs to change systems can seem like a challenge; they may be stuck in their ways or daunted by transitioning from familiar systems, especially when time or resource poor. When supported by the backing of a league, change is more easily adopted and staff can share key learnings. Any resistance quickly disappears once clubs realize the cost and time-saving benefits, as well as the versatility, of the INTIX platform.</p>
<p>INTIX provides full client support to make any transition pain-free. Taking the time to understand individual Clubs and their audiences, INTIX staff are well positioned to advise on the best approaches to ticketing and audience management. We offer dedicated client support at all stages and, as an innovative and technologically adaptive company, INTIX focuses not only on best-practice solutions but next-practice solutions; if we can’t solve a challenge yet, we will work with you to create the technology that can!</p>

How to Choose Your Ticketing Partner

Choosing the right ticketing partner is a crucial decision for event organisers.

<section aria-fingerprint="ytanmxz">

<section aria-fingerprint="pubxnu">
<div id="articleText">
<section aria-fingerprint="ratnxsz">
<div id="articleText">
<p>Choosing the right ticketing partner is a crucial decision for event organisers. A good partner will not only streamline your operations but also enhance the experience for your fans and attendees. Here are some key considerations when selecting a ticketing partner:</p>
<h2>1. Understand Your Needs</h2>
<p>Assess the specific needs of your event, whether it’s a sports event, concert, or festival. Determine the type of tickets you'll offer, the expected volume, and any special requirements like reserved seating, accreditation, VIP access or group sales.</p>
<h2>2. Ease of Use</h2>
<p>A user-friendly platform is essential for both organisers and attendees. Ensure the platform offers a simple interface for ticket purchases, management, and scanning at the event, both on desktop and on mobile. Look for intuitive dashboards and easy-to-navigate portals.</p>
<h2>3. Self-serviceable</h2>
<p>The ticketing platform you use should be able to be accessed and edited by you at any time. While for larger events the platform should be there to build your event and help with operations, any changes should be possible for you to do yourself to assist in speed, accuracy and the ultimate success of your event.</p>
<h2>4. Customisation and Branding</h2>
<p>Your ticketing platform should allow for customisation to reflect your brand. When a customer purchases a ticket, it should look like they are purchasing it from you, not from a ticketing agent, this can include; custom event pages, reserved seating builds, ticket designs, branded emails, and personalised URLs. All in your brand.</p>
<h2>5. Data Ownership and Insights</h2>
<p>Choose a partner that offers complete data ownership. Access to attendee data can provide valuable insights for marketing and future events. The ability to analyse sales patterns, customer demographics, and feedback can help in refining your strategy and significantly increase return customers and revenue growth.</p>
<h2>6. Payment Processing</h2>
<p>Ensure the ticketing platform supports secure and efficient payment processing. Immediate payment processing can improve cash flow and reduce the risk of fraud. Plus it means you have your money as soon as someone purchases a ticket. No more waiting around until after the event. Look for options that offer multiple payment methods, including credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, AfterPay, ZIP Pay etc.</p>
<h2>7. Customer Support</h2>
<p>Reliable customer support is critical. Whether it's troubleshooting on the day of the event or assisting with ticket sales, your ticketing partner should offer prompt and helpful support. Check for available support channels like phone, email, and live chat and ask for SLA’s on response times.</p>
<h2>8. Mobile Optimisation</h2>
<p>We know that 80% of ticket purchases are via smartphone, so a mobile-optimised platform is a must. The ticketing experience should be seamless across all devices, from purchasing to scanning and selling at the event entrance.</p>
<h2>9. Security and Compliance</h2>
<p>Ensure that your payment processing provider via your ticketing partner complies with industry standards for data security. This includes encryption, PCI compliance, and GDPR adherence. Protecting your attendees' data should be a top priority.</p>
<h2>10. Scalability</h2>
<p>As your event grows, your ticketing partner should be able to scale with you. Look for platforms that can handle increased ticket volumes and offer additional features as needed, such as advanced seating charts or integration with other event management tools. Also a ticketing platform with an in-house development team means the product can be innovated fast and evolve with the ever-changing technology of ticketing.</p>
<h2>11. Pricing and Fees</h2>
<p>Evaluate the pricing structure and fees associated with the ticketing platform. Consider both upfront costs and per-ticket fees. Transparency in pricing is important to avoid any unexpected costs. Some ticketing platforms charge inside fees, outside fees and subscription fees.</p>
<h2>Conclusion: Why INTIX is the Right Choice</h2>
<p>At INTIX, we offer a comprehensive ticketing solution that meets all these criteria. Our platform is designed with the event organiser in mind, providing ease of use, full data ownership, and exceptional customer support. With our commitment to innovation and security, INTIX ensures a seamless ticketing experience that grows with your event.

<p>We've seen a lot of events over the years. Whether you are planning a luxury event or a budget event - no matter how small or large - they all require detailed planning and organisation.</p>
<p>From establishing a concept to managing quick and easy event day entry, there are a number of steps you should consider from the very start to make event planning as stress-free as possible.</p>
<ol>
<li id="1"><strong>Establish event budget and schedule</strong><br><br>When designing your event, it is important to plan the event experiences and schedule from the very start. This will determine your budget and also help you identify exactly what you need in a ticketing partner and other suppliers.<br><br>You should choose providers that can deliver more. This will save money, precious time and improve efficiency and customer experience. Ultimately making a better event!<br><br>Think about what your levels of service will be and different price points. There might be multiple events, a VIP experience, reserved seating, promotions, cheap tickets or free tickets.<br><br>INTIX is one of the very few ticketing providers who can offer all of this in the one online platform, capturing all your event data and analytics, while still remaining competitive with price.
<blockquote><i>"Every minute you spend in planning saves 10 minutes in execution; this gives you a 1,000 percent return on energy!"</i><span>&nbsp;</span>― Brian Tracy</blockquote>
</li>
<li id="2"><strong>Keep event branding consistent</strong><br><br>One of the first things people see for your event is the website where they buy tickets. You want to make sure this website keeps your event branding consistent so you can maximise brand awareness.<br><br>The more people see your branding - the more they relate to you and trust your brand.<br><br>Choose a ticketing provider like INTIX that allows you to complement your event by using your own branding and personalisation during ticket purchase. Rather than using the branding and style of the ticketing platform itself.<br><br>This helps your event look cool, professional and helps with promoting your event.<br><br><img src="https://d2jun3ty2bmcrf.cloudfront.net/website/img/case-studies/case-study-usa-powerlifting.jpg" alt="SCREENSHOT OF A PERSONALIZED EVENT" loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1105"></li>
<li id="3"><strong>Make ticketing the easiest part of your event</strong><br><br>Planning a successful event is hard!<br><br>Make ticketing the easiest part of your event by choosing the right ticketing partner that can do it all - you can ‘tick and flick’ ticketing off your list.<br><br>A great ticketing experience makes online sales easy, gets customers into your event fast, doesn’t cost too much, and is easy for staff to manage. INTIX is a great example of a cost-effective platform that makes setting up your online sales quick and easy. Our INTIX Scanner app can check tickets in at your event straight from your phone.<br><br>Best of all, the<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.co.uk/apple-tap-to-pay-on-iphone" target="_blank" rel="noopener">INTIX Box Office app with Tap to Pay</a><span>&nbsp;</span>makes it easy to sell tickets on the day of your event. The app is free to download for all iPhones and smartphones and integrates with all your other ticketing data. Save money by not renting additional hardware, or staff, and get people in fast and securely!</li>
<li id="4"><strong>Know your customers</strong><br><br>Capture the data of the people buying tickets to your event.<br><br>INTIX integrates with Google Analytics so you view your customer data, sales data and entry data all in the one place. This can help you keep tailoring your event to better suit your audience.<br><br>This data can help you understand the age, gender and location of people interested in your event - which can optimise pre-event and post-event marketing - getting more people to this event and the next!<br><br><img src="https://d2jun3ty2bmcrf.cloudfront.net/website/img/case-studies/case-study-dashboard-data.jpg" alt="SCREENSHOT OF DATA ON THE DASHBOARD" loading="lazy" width="1620" height="758"></li>
<li id="5"><strong>Hype up your customers</strong><br><br>Everyone in event management knows that without marketing and promotion, there is no event.<br><br>But there is so much more to marketing than just getting people to buy a ticket. You need to continue to engage with your customers and get them excited about the event.<br><br>When you hype up your customers you drive more sales because your existing customers encourage friends and family to also purchase tickets. Do not underestimate the power of word-of-mouth! A customer talking about your event is worth ten times that which you write or say about yourself.<br><br>To do this - choose INTIX - who offer direct marketing services and mobile phone<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.co.uk/mobile" target="_blank" rel="noopener">push notifications</a>.
<blockquote><i>"Word-of-mouth is powerful, trusted, and cheap."</i><span>&nbsp;</span>- Martin Lindstrom</blockquote>
</li>
<li id="6"><strong>Get sales money before the event</strong><br><br>Get access to your ticket money as tickets are purchased - not after the event - to ensure you have money in your pocket for the event. This can help manage unexpected costs and you can avoid paying off debts.<br><br>You can use that money as it comes through to boost marketing and promotion if needed to help sell even more tickets!<br><br>INTIX uses payment partner Stripe so when a customer purchases a ticket the money is deposited directly into your bank account. There is no need to invoice after the event for a full payment.<br>
<blockquote><i>"Good fortune is what happens when opportunity meets with planning"</i><span>&nbsp;</span>- Thomas Edison</blockquote>
</li>
<li id="7"><strong>Use self service</strong><br><br>D.I.Y tickets are the way of the future. Not only does self service ticketing free up more time for you to focus on your event but it also gives your customers more control.<br><br>Set up your tickets in a way that makes it easy for your customers to manage their own tickets. This means they can forward their tickets onto others they are going with, resell tickets and access tickets safely and securely.<br><br>Sell tickets with INTIX to give your customers more control.<br><br><br></li>
<li id="8"><strong>Plan entry on event day</strong><br><br>Set up your ticket scanning service well in advance of your event. Ticket scanning can manage more than just security and entry - It can also save money and time on event day!<br><br>Choose a scanning service with a free scanning app that integrates with your ticket sales data. You can get people in faster, manage capacity, see who has and hasn’t turned up and form reports to improve marketing for future events.<br><br>You will also save on staffing costs and hardware costs (no hiring scanners).<br><br>With this service, you can provide a better customer experience for everyone. Even those who forget to bring their ticket. If they are legitimate, you can quickly and securely look them up and mark their ticket as used via the app - no need to print off lists of ticket holders and manually cross them off!<br><br>You can create, distribute and scan your own event tickets with INTIX. It is super easy - only takes 30 seconds to learn how.<br><br><img src="https://d2jun3ty2bmcrf.cloudfront.net/website/img/case-studies/case-study-scanning.jpg" alt="SCANNING AT AN EVENT" loading="lazy" width="3024" height="4032"></li>
<li id="9"><strong>Keep the conversation going</strong><br><br>Why stop once the event is over? If you are planning an annual event or more events - now is the time to draw on all that data you have captured.<br><br>Use that data to create reports for your investors, refine your audience and better tailor your marketing.<br><br>Keep the conversation going. Keep talking to your customers and remind them of how great the event was so they will want to come back again - or to a different event you run.<br><br>An online ticketing platform like INTIX captures all your pre-sale, event ticket sales, attendee numbers and contact details. You have full and complete access to all of this data and can use it to maximise future opportunities.</li>
<li id="10"><strong>Use a checklist</strong><br><br>Checklists are a great way of visualising and prioritising tasks. They can help keep us on schedule so deadlines are not missed. Also it is damn satisfying to tick things off your to-do-list!<br><br>An event planning checklist can help you clear your mind and keep you to task while also keeping track of your finances. It makes for a much more enjoyable, stress-free event.</li>

<p>INTIX, a leading provider of ticketing solutions, has launched a new Administrator App, a powerful mobile tool designed to give event organisers unprecedented real-time visibility into ticket sales, revenue, and attendance.</p>
<p>This innovative app provides event managers with the critical data they need to make informed decisions on the go, directly on their smartphones and tablets.</p>
<p>Where previously event managers have been required to log into their computer, internet browser, or even contact the ticketing company directly to understand this level of data, they can now see it live via this new app.</p>
<p>Alex Grant, CEO INTIX and Head of Product Development said the app provides the insights needed to enhance match day management and make informed, data-driven decisions on the go.</p>
<p>"This new app will help you gain a deeper understanding of fan behaviour. It updates and refreshes live as new ticket sales occur, and new attendees scan in, and will also send you notifications when a ticket category has sold out, or even as every ticket sale occurs if you want that level of detail," Mr Grant said.</p>
<p>The INTIX Administrator App delivers critical event data directly to your smartphone anytime, anywhere, empowering you to make informed decisions in real-time, including;</p>
<ul>
<li>Track live attendance figures with accurate counts of people currently at your event.</li>
<li>Live sales notifications: Monitor multi-channel ticket sales as they happen, with data on tickets sold and revenue generated.</li>
<li>Key event alerts: Receive instant notifications for critical updates, such as when a ticket category sells out, ensuring you can react quickly and efficiently.</li>
<li>Peak times of entry: Identify peak entry periods to optimise staffing and resource allocation.</li>
<li>Daily summary of sales: Review daily sales performance with high-level summaries.</li>
<li>Individual ticket sale notifications: Opt to receive a notification every time a ticket is sold.</li>
</ul>
<p>Ian Coutts, General Manager Southside Flyers, has been using the new INTIX Administrator App for WNBL games and it has been an absolute game-changer.</p>
<p>"Being able to see real-time ticket sales and revenue on my phone throughout the events is incredible. I know exactly how many tickets we have sold, how much revenue we have made and how many people are in the stadium. I can even track which ticket categories are selling best in real-time," Mr Coutts said.</p>

<p>As part of INTIX's constant desire to improve our technology and customer experience, event managers can now include donations as add-ons for tickets at no extra charge.</p>
<p>In recent years, the concept of<span>&nbsp;</span><a target="_blank" href="https://humanrights.gov.au/our-work/publications/corporate-social-responsibility-human-rights" rel="noopener">Corporate Social Responsibility</a><span>&nbsp;</span>(CSR) has become increasingly important in the world of sports and events. Sports organisations and events collaborate with local charities and non-profit organisations to address social issues. They organise fundraising events and use their platforms to raise awareness about important causes.</p>
<p>Where other ticketing providers provide the ability to add on donations to charities and not-for-profits as part of the ticket purchase journey, they all tend to relieve a clip of this donation as part of the service, whereas INTIX does not charge anything for this extra feature.</p>
<p>INTIX Head of Commercial,<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/skyealarson" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Skye Larson</a>, said many sporting organisations and events are required to include a certain level of CSR such as community outreach, development programs and donations.</p>
<p>"As sporting organisations and events look to how they can best meet the needs of CSR in their community and through their events, INTIX provides a not-for-profit solution that allows them to do this," Ms Larson said.</p>
<p>Whether you are wanting to add-on donations for your own not-for-profit sporting club, a community group or project your club or event is passionate about, it can all be added as a donation at no extra charge, when selling tickets through INTIX.</p>
<p>"As a co-founder of a charity myself, I wanted INTIX to have this feature available to event managers, but not add any unnecessary charges that take away from the donation itself," she said.</p>
<p>"Getting donations can be one of the hardest parts of running a charity or not-for-profit organisation, and it is not really any extra work for us to include that as an added feature for sporting organisations and events to help more community projects succeed," Ms Larson said.</p>
<p>As the leading independent ticketing provider for sports in Australia, INTIX has been able to help many sports and events transform the way they manage events through our innovative solutions.

<p><a href="https://www.intix.co.uk/">INTIX</a>, the leading independent ticketing provider for sports in Australia, is thrilled to announce the opening of its newest office in New York City, further solidifying its position as a global player in the industry.</p>
<p>With a rapidly growing client base and an increasing demand for its cutting-edge ticketing solutions, INTIX has strategically chosen New York City as its next location to better serve its expanding clientele in the United States and beyond.</p>
<p>The opening of this office follows a recent expansion to the UK and marks an important milestone in INTIX's mission to revolutionise the ticketing experience for both organisers and attendees worldwide.</p>
<p>Alex Grant, CEO of INTIX, said the expansion into New York City represents an exciting step forward for INTIX.</p>
<p>"As we continue to grow and innovate, establishing a presence in one of the world's major hubs for sports and entertainment allows us to provide more clients with unparalleled support and access to our industry-leading technology," Mr Grant said.</p>
<p>INTIX's state-of-the-art ticketing platform empowers organisations to streamline ticketing processes, enhance customer experiences, and drive revenue growth. It also includes advanced features such as immediate payouts, real-time analytics, and seamless integration with CRM systems.</p>
<p>By opening an office in New York City, INTIX aims to further enhance its ability to deliver exceptional service and support to its growing roster of clients.</p>
<p>Mark Gallego, INTIX Vice President, Partnerships and Operations USA, expressed his confidence that INTIX will revolutionise the American sports and events market.</p>
<p>"INTIX equips events with essential tools to boost efficiency, maximise value, and gain deeper insights into the complete customer journey. I'm excited to step into this position and believe that INTIX will swiftly gain recognition in American sports, mirroring its success in Australia and the UK," Mr Gallego explained.</p>

Real-time marketing boosts revenue at events

INTIX, an event ticketing technology business, has introduced real-time marketing to help boost revenue at events.

<p>INTIX, an event ticketing technology business, has introduced real-time marketing to help boost revenue at events.</p>
<p>Previously managed through social media, real-time marketing has been used as a way to keep customers engaged during an event, and used as an opportunity to up-sell products and services.</p>
<p>Using the latest event ticketing technology, available through INTIX, event managers can now market directly to all present event attendees, on their phone, via push notifications and SMS.</p>
<p>Alex Grant, INTIX CEO said that event managers are always trying to think of how they can reduce administration, improve the event experience, and generate the best possible return.</p>
<p>"Real-time marketing gives events an edge as it is easy to manage, can help generate considerably more revenue and is very attractive to sponsors," he said.</p>
<p>"So long as everyone purchases tickets online, or at the gate via our smartphone tap-to-pay app, or has a digital membership (for sporting events), you can communicate to everyone who scanned in via push notifications and/or SMS," Alex said.</p>
<p>INTIX, integrates multiple features into its platform, so event organisers can centralise all their audience data and maximize revenue and sales growth opportunities.</p>
<p>Many event managers have used this INTIX feature already to sell-out merchandise at an event, up-sell food and beverages, and up-sell sponsorship packages - by adding in-event, real-time marketing to the sponsorship package.</p>
<p>"Large-scale events have sponsors paying millions of dollars for 30 seconds of commercial time. Imagine the commercial possibilities events can offer organisations, who aren’t even sponsors, to increase revenue," Alex said.</p>
<p>"This scenario could easily play out with any countless number of events. Sporting events, festivals, concerts, it's all about increasing engagement and revenue," he said.</p>
<p>Innovation and evolution are so important in the event space. To give your attendees the best experience, you need to be offering the best available technology.</p>
<p>It won’t be long until all major events are using real-time marketing.</p>

<p>INTIX is pleased to announce that it will work with AFL Victoria to supply ticketing services for Victorian metropolitan and country leagues and clubs for 2021.</p>
<p>Having a preferred ticketing solution in place is one of a number of services made available by AFL Victoria to support 92 leagues and 1,200 clubs in meeting Victorian Government COVID-safe requirements.</p>
<p>Alex Grant, INTIX CEO, said that INTIX is proud to be working with AFL Victoria, as one of the only fully Australian owned and run ticketing platforms, for this initiative.</p>
<p>“As a Victorian-owned business we have experienced first-hand some of the most severe impacts the pandemic has caused the sporting and events industry,” he said.</p>
<p>“Since the pandemic and restrictions hit Victoria in early 2020, we have been working hard at INTIX to support local sports and events to digitise ticketing and better meet COVID-safe requirements.</p>
<p>“We are honoured to be working with AFL Victoria to support our iconic local footy leagues and clubs and will ensure we continue to strive for the highest standards for our clients,” Alex said.</p>
<p>INTIX is already working with a number of state league teams across Australia including; Port Melbourne, Frankston, Williamstown and Subiaco and recently provided ticketing at the WAFL finals series and grand final.</p>
<p>INTIX's digital ticketing platform is easy to use and provides digital ticketing services that include online ticketing, point of sale, member passes and gate operations.</p>
<p>“We have an existing relationship with a number of leagues and clubs and they have already seen how our platform can work for them,” Alex said.</p>
<p>“Going digital is good for meeting COVID-safe requirements because you can more accurately contact trace and manage patron density, but in addition, it can also help you keep a better track of money and save a lot of time.</p>
<p>“We are excited to be a part of this and look forward to supporting the leagues and clubs in going digital and meeting government COVID-safe requirements,” he said.</p>
<p>To get in touch about how we can help you with digital ticketing for the 2021 season and beyond contact Emma Williams, our Business Development Manager at <a href="mailto:emma.williams@intix.com" rel="noopener">emma.williams@intix.com</a>.</p>

A need for digital ticketing in local sport

Technology has been evolving steadily at large-scale events over the past ten years as new technology becomes more available and affordable.

<p>Technology has been evolving steadily at large-scale events over the past ten years as new technology becomes more available and affordable.</p>
<p>Many of these events have started to embrace digital tickets, pre-purchasing drinks and food online and ‘at event’ apps with running times and important event information.</p>
<p>Smaller events however, such as local footy games, have tended to stick with the ‘tried and true’ cash on arrival and paper records. This is largely because these events are often run by volunteers who do not have the capacity to upgrade digitally or they are free events. There has been little requirement or incentive to change.</p>
<p>Enter the global pandemic of 2020. This year we have seen sports and events as some of the hardest hit industries, due to the gathering restrictions and lack of ability to manage COVID risk. Now that these events are slowly recommencing, there are important new requirements to ensure they are managed in a COVID-safe way including contactless entry, social distancing and strong contact tracing capability.</p>
<p>We are now in a position where many smaller-scale events, such as local footy clubs, will be required to upgrade their technology in order to meet these requirements.</p>
<p>There are many reasons why upgrading technology is beneficial, even without COVID-safe requirements.</p>
<ol>
<li>It provides more security – without the need for money to change so many hands it vastly reduces the risk of money disappearing, either intentionally or not.</li>
<li>It saves time – no need to manually reconcile unnamed bank transfers into your account or manually manage lists of attendees.</li>
<li>You can keep better track of money and patrons – going digital means you know exactly who has paid, when and how much. You can also build in a function to record contact details of your patrons if necessary.</li>
<li>Better crowd management – as well as managing patron density, you can also remove instances of people sharing tickets and getting free entry by passing memberships through the fence.</li>
</ol>
<p>Before COVID came along and made it essential for these clubs to move into the digital space, there were already many reasons to do so.</p>
<p>I saw a need for this several years ago. I have been playing local footy in Melbourne for 25 years and one of my bugbears was having to stop at the petrol station on the way to the game to withdraw cash to pay for entry. There is also no ability to track which members have arrived at the event. Most clubs have a little membership card for the member to show at the gate, risking the potential for the card to be passed through the fence allowing others in free of charge.</p>
<p>Now in most cases we are talking about small clubs that rely on game day fees and fundraising to cover basic costs. The last thing they need is people gaining free entry and losing out on part of their revenue, particularly after the year we have just had.</p>
<p>Digital ticketing can solve these problems, as well as help your club meet COVID-safe regulations with managing patron density, contactless entry and contact tracing. Since events have recommenced in other parts of Australia, we have been able to help sports get back up and running in an affordable way that meets new government requirements.</p>
<p>Some major ticketing providers in Australia charge very high fees which could cost customers upwards of $4.95 on an $6 ticket price. This fee structure is simply not justifiable. It is no wonder small clubs are nervous about implementing digital ticketing, but of course not all ticketing providers operate in this manner.</p>
<p>INTIX is a small, Australian-owned, ticketing platform that only charges a small percentage of the entry fee to cover the services they provide. For example, an $8 entry fee may only become a $8.50 ticket instead of a $14 payment.</p>
<p>We also provide the ability to sell tickets online and at the event using the same platform. This is a scalable solution that can be used for local sports, club events or large-scale sporting events such as State and National Grand Finals.</p>
<p>Victoria has endured a particularly tough year. I live in Melbourne and run a small business so I can truly empathise. For the best part of a year we have stayed inside, socially distanced and isolated. Now that we are finally starting to open up again we want to stay open, we want to work, we want to play footy, netball and cricket, we want to see our friends and families and we want to do it in a safe way. A digital ticketing platform is one of the key measures that will help keep Victoria open safely.</p>

How the JackJumpers sell out their Junior Clinics

While their game day ticketing is managed by their home venue, the JackJumpers run a large number of clinics, member events, and non-game day events across the state of Tasmania, all of which have varied ticketing requirements.

<h2>The Challenge</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/org/tasmania-jackjumpers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tasmania JackJumpers</a><span>&nbsp;</span>are a NBL Basketball team based out of My State Arena in Hobart.

<p>Clinics are particularly complex: participant details need to be collected, they have varied venues with varied capacities, and these high-demand frequently sold-out clinics lead to lots of customer enquiries about ticket availability, registrant name changes, refunds, and exchanges.</p>
<p>The management of these events was taking a toll on the<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/org/tasmania-jackjumpers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">JackJumpers</a><span>&nbsp;</span>team, who needed a low-admin solution that allowed them to be able to build, sell, and run their events and to minimise customer service support. With so many events, the<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/org/tasmania-jackjumpers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">JackJumpers</a><span>&nbsp;</span>also saw the opportunity to grow their audience and sales, and wanted a one-touch solution to promote their events and manage their audience.</p>
<h2>The Solution</h2>
<p>As a platform that allows businesses to easily build and sell ticketed events with integrated marketing and audience management tools,<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">INTIX</a><span>&nbsp;</span>was a perfect fit for the<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.com.au/org/tasmania-jackjumpers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">JackJumpers</a>.

<p>In today's digital world, the success of events and sporting clubs depends on delivering an outstanding mobile experience. If you don't have a clean, user-friendly mobile experience for your customers, you are losing sales. Losing revenue.</p>
<p>The number of Australian smartphone users is expected to increase by 3.7 million to 23.6 million by 2026, up from 19.9 million users in 2017. These statistics show a rapid rise in mobile phone users, which will certainly evolve the digital landscape in Australia. As smartphone usage rises, so does consumers' appetite to engage with online products and services.</p>
<p>Mobile traffic accounts for the majority (70%) of web traffic, ticket purchases, ticket revenue, donations, and membership sales (Substrakt, 2023). This trend continues to grow year on year, highlighting the importance of optimising mobile experiences.</p>
<p>By partnering with an innovative and experienced technology company like INTIX for your next event, you can significantly enhance your event or club's performance.</p>
<p>Here's how:</p>
<h2>Seamless Mobile Ticketing</h2>
<p>Mobile devices dominate website traffic, making up over two-thirds of total traffic on average. If you have not optimised your user experience on mobile phones, you are losing sales because some people will just give up on a sale if it is too hard.</p>
<p>INTIX offers a seamless mobile ticketing system with more than 80% of our clients’ customers using a mobile device to purchase tickets or memberships.</p>
<p>With more users accessing event information and purchasing tickets via smartphones, a user-friendly mobile ticketing experience is vital. INTIX ensures that this process is smooth, quick, and easy, boosting customer satisfaction and ticket sales.</p>
<h2>Enhanced User Engagement</h2>
<p>INTIX's mobile platform is designed for effective user engagement. Tickets and memberships can be saved digitally on a smartphone.</p>
<p>Personalised push notifications, event updates, and interactive features keep your audience connected and informed. This level of engagement not only excites attendees but also builds a loyal community around your event or club.</p>
<h2>Data-Driven Insights</h2>
<p>INTIX provides valuable data and insights into user behaviour and preferences. Analysing this data helps you make informed decisions to optimise your mobile strategy, tailor marketing efforts, and improve overall user experience. This data-driven approach ensures your event or sporting club stays relevant and appealing.</p>
<p>You can use this data to see what device people are using to visit your website, and make purchases, to ensure you have enhanced user experience.</p>
<h2>Optimised Mobile Design</h2>
<p>A well-optimised mobile design is crucial for retaining users. INTIX focuses on offering a responsive and visually appealing mobile interface. This guarantees a positive user experience, whether they’re browsing event details, purchasing tickets, or checking in at the venue.</p>
<p>A polished mobile experience can significantly increase sales, return customers, and user satisfaction.</p>
<h2>Streamlined Check-In Process</h2>
<p>INTIX simplifies the check-in process with mobile QR codes and digital tickets. This not only speeds up entry but also reduces the need for physical contact, an important consideration in today’s health-conscious environment. A streamlined check-in process improves overall event efficiency and attendee experience.</p>
<h2>Simplified Payment Options</h2>
<p>INTIX supports modern payment methods like Apple Pay and Google Pay, which streamline the payment process by eliminating the need to manually enter card numbers, expiry dates, CVVs, and addresses. This optimisation reduces friction at the final purchase stage, ensuring more successful transactions and fewer abandoned carts.</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>Optimising the mobile user experience is essential for the success of any event or sporting club. INTIX provides the tools and features necessary to enhance mobile engagement, streamline processes, and deliver valuable insights. By leveraging INTIX, you can ensure a superior mobile experience that drives attendance, engagement, and loyalty, ultimately contributing to the success of your event or club.</p>

How to hold a more eco-friendly event

We are increasingly seeing more events wanting to be more environmentally friendly and sustainable in response to the growing concerns over climate change.

<p>We are increasingly seeing more events wanting to be more environmentally friendly and sustainable in response to the growing concerns over climate change.</p>
<p>As an event organiser, there are many ways you can make your event more green.</p>
<p>Australia has made a commitment to be net-zero by 2050, and the Federal and State Governments are full steam ahead offering all kinds of assistance to events that can operate on a more carbon neutral footprint.</p>
<p>So what can you do to qualify your event for some of that funding while also having a more positive impact on the environment?</p>
<h2>1. Ditch the paper to reduce your carbon footprint</h2>
<p>Go green with<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.co.uk/">INTIX</a><span>&nbsp;</span>by ditching printed tickets.<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.co.uk/">INTIX</a><span>&nbsp;</span>offers a complete online ticketing solution that requires no printing. You can book, purchase and scan through our app - all while saving a few more trees in the process.</p>
<p>You can also use the same app for selling tickets at the gate with the<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.co.uk/apple-tap-to-pay-on-iphone">INTIX Box Office and Tap-to-Pay</a><span>&nbsp;</span>function - reducing the need for additional hardware, receipt printing, and ultimately reducing your carbon footprint further.</p>

<h2>2. Digitise showbags and handouts</h2>
<p>Are you running an expo? or an event that encourages sponsors to produce flyers and coupons? Why not use a ticketing company that can push out that material via push notifications to all on-site event goers? or even email the attendees before, during, or after the event?</p>
<p>INTIX has a fully online solution that has in-built marketing capabilities including personalised direct email marketing, push notifications and SMS. Which is perfect for creating digital showbags and including sponsors and exhibitors material.</p>
<h2>3. Use app accreditations</h2>
<p>Instead of printing hundreds of plastic accreditation cards for your staff and suppliers - why not also run accreditations through the INTIX platform and<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.co.uk/about/app">app</a>? It also means for a smoother event experience where you keep track of all your entrants in the one place. It also means you can keep track of real-time capacities and who has already entered and who hasn’t.</p>
<p><img src="https://d2jun3ty2bmcrf.cloudfront.net/website/img/case-studies/eco-friendly3.jpg" alt="How to hold a more eco-friendly event with INTIX" title="How to hold a more eco-friendly event" loading="lazy" width="1920" height="1080"></p>
<h2>4. Use INTIX Tap-to-Pay for event day sales</h2>
<p>Using<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.intix.co.uk/apple-tap-to-pay-on-iphone">Tap to Pay on iPhone</a><span>&nbsp;</span>or Android via the INTIX app means you don’t need to buy or hire any additional hardware to sell tickets at the gate. All you need is a compatible iPhone or Android and the INTIX Box Office app and customers can tap their card and enter. All data is captured in the same online system and they can have a receipt emailed to them if they want. No need for any paper, - eftpos terminals, or square devices!</p>
<p>These tips wont only save the environment, but they will also save you money, time and stress. They will make your event more carbon neutral - so you can apply for that ever important funding - and make the event ticketing process a breeze!</p>
<p>So if you want to add more green to your event - INTIX has the green ticket for you!</p>

<p>Australian digital ticketing provider INTIX has burst through the Australian COVID barrier, which held events at a standstill for so long, to compete in the global market.</p>
<p>Working with UAE Digital Wallet Company Back 9 Solutions, INTIX provided over 80,000 digital tickets to attendees for the Emirates Dubai 7's in December 2021.</p>
<p>The innovation and product INTIX provided was exactly what the event was looking for. "INTIX was able to show expertise, innovation and efficiency while managing the digital ticketing aspect of the event in the ever-changing COVID environment," Alex Grant, INTIX CEO said.</p>
<p>Events across the world have been moving to digital ticketing in the wake of COVID restrictions to better manage contact tracing, capacity, and contactless operations. The Dubai 7's event organisers contacted INTIX when they read about how they were transitioning Australian events into the digital ticketing space.</p>
<p>Alex Grant, said that it was an honour to be selected as the ticketing partner for such a prestigious event and was proud of what his team has achieved.</p>
<p>"It was great, and surreal, to be back in the thick of a major event. We were pleased to be able to provide a smooth and easy digital solution to such a renowned international event.</p>
<p>"The last two years have been a real challenge in Australia with many major events being cancelled due to COVID.</p>
<p>"We have been working with some clients in the UK and New Zealand for a couple of years now, but nothing internationally on the scale of the Dubai 7's. So, when the organisers got in touch, I knew it was time to take the company global," Mr Grant said.</p>
<p>INTIX's growth has been accelerating in Australia since they started in 2017, working with major events including Listen Out music festival, Melbourne International Flower and Garden Show, Melbourne Marathon, NBL, the VFL and more. They also have a number of events coming up in the USA this year.</p>
<p>"As a company that has been providing digital ticketing solutions for four years, it is clear that COVID has hastened the transition to digital ticketing all over the world," Mr Grant said.</p>
<p>"We look forward to continuing to work with our current clients and are once again expanding our team to take on more events of all sizes in Australia and across the world," he said.</p>

Melbourne Contact tracing for events, venues and more during COVID19 with INTIX

We’re excited to support events, venues and more getting back to business, and have developed a contact tracing add-on for our ticketing platform to help customers get back to running events sooner.

<p>We’re excited to support events, venues and more getting back to business, and have developed a contact tracing add-on for our ticketing platform to help customers get back to running events sooner.</p>
<p>Social distancing and lockdown restrictions caused by the COVID19 virus have had a detrimental impact on the events industry, and this Contact Tracing ticketing add-on will allow event organisers to assist the Government with COVID-19 contact tracing by proving the details of attendees if required.</p>
<p>“We developed this add-on in the hopes that by assisting the Government with contact tracing we may be able to cautiously help our customers open their doors and get events and gigs back up and running,” said Alex Grant, CEO of INTIX.</p>
<p>INTIX has been following government protocols very closely on the return of events and the requirements that may be imposed on event organisers.</p>
<p>“It’s clear that mass gatherings will not go ahead without some way to track who’s turning up in case they are later diagnosed with COVID19,” he said.</p>
<p>Alex said the idea stems from the Government’s COVIDSafe App which is intended to speed up contacting people exposed to coronavirus.</p>
<p>“From what I understand, not everyone has downloaded the Government App, however, this ticketing add-on we have developed should assist the Government to reach more people,” Alex said.</p>
<p>The add-on works by adding contact tracing to ticket purchases for events and the INTIX ‘at-event’ app will allow event organisers to trace the steps of anyone who tests COVID19 positive. Alex said that privacy will be strictly upheld.</p>
<p>“Event-goers will need to agree to this use of their data and it will only be provided to the Government if required and in compliance with Federal privacy laws,” he said.</p>
<p>“We are excited to launch this initiative and look forward to seeing the event industry back up and running,” Alex said.</p>
