Whichever bracket you fall under, you’re in the right place. The Skiddle website is packed with tons of events, from gigs, club nights and festivals to scare attractions, comedy nights, food and drink festivals and even puppy yoga events.
To give you that extra nudge on signing up to The Promotion Centre, we’ve put together 24 reasons to choose Skiddle for all your ticketing needs in 2024.
Discover them below and get the ticket sales you deserve.
Our team is experienced in many ways…
When our staff aren’t manning the phone lines, helping our biggest accounts or devising marketing campaigns, they’re often behind the decks or bringing their own event ideas to life in their local scenes. They’ve been in your position, so they can offer you advice based on their own experience. Sign up here or call our Account Support team on 03333010301.
We’re 100% independent and have been since 2001…
Proudly independent, we’ve provided event organisers with the tools they need to deliver next-level events across Europe for the past 23 years. Since those early days, we’ve partnered with more than 250,000 promoters and continue to welcome new and exciting teams and brands daily.
We value close relationships…
Close working relationships are important to us. We work alongside some of Europe’s biggest and longest-running event brands like Terminal V, Funkademia and Louder. We’ve helped them grow over the years and we can help you too.
The Promotion Centre gives you control over the listing process…
Our Promotion Centre gives you complete control over the ticket listing process. You can set the price and allocation, decide when your tickets go off sale, and set a minimum and maximum purchase amount.
Sign up and list events in the same day…
We don’t make you wait for authorisation to sell tickets like some ticketing platforms do. Our self-service platform allows you to sign up and sell tickets to your event on the same day.
It’s not all about music…
We made our name on gigs, club nights and festivals, but we’ve expanded. Comedy, theatre, scare attractions, conferences and sports events on a local and national scale? We’re equipped to sell tickets for them all. The Promotion Centre can bring to life just about any type of event you can think of.
Local events are important to us…
Running a local club night or gig? List with us. We’ve got a footing in many local scenes and actively support grassroots music. In 2023, we launched a long-term partnership with the Music Venue Trust, introducing a 50p ticket levy with 100% of the funds going to MVT’s Pipeline Investment Fund.
We contribute to the culture around nightlife…
Some of our best memories have been beside a sound system in a dark club and we contribute to the culture by issuing funds for promoters, organising masterclass events and connecting promoters with people who can help them. When you sign up with Skiddle, you’ll be able to get all the news straight away via our weekly, promoter-focused newsletter.
Our app is popular…
Eventgoers trust us. Our website receives over 6.5 million visitors a month and our app ranks in the top 10 ticketing apps on the App and Play Store. When you list with us, you can promise your customers they’ll be in safe hands.
Festivals are our speciality…
If you’re promoting a festival, then our Festival Guide can be an advantageous tool. Not only is it the biggest page of its kind in the UK, but it houses all the information about your festival in one place and makes it as easy as possible for people to buy tickets.
Help is easy to find…
If you ever get stuck while listing an event, we’ve got your back. Reach out to our dedicated Account Support team, explore insightful content on The Promotion Centre blog, check FAQs, watch “How-to” tutorials, or use webchat for quick answers.
Let our Customer Support team work their magic…
Are customer inquiries becoming overwhelming? Direct them to our expert Customer Support team who’ll be ready to answer any questions they might have in a friendly and timely manner.
Our marketing team is top notch…
Unlike many of our competitors, we boast our own in-house team of marketing experts – from Social Media gurus to SEO specialists and Paid Media pros. Ever the creative bunch, they’re always looking for innovative ways to promote your listings to ensure they get the visibility and sales they deserve.
We offer plenty of payment options that can help boost sales…
We offer a range of payment options including PayPal, PayPal Pay In 3 and our very own Payment Plan feature. Use these tools to make it easier for your customers to spread the cost of tickets to your events and help drive those all-important sales.
Sell for multiple events in multiple venues in one place…
Do you promote events in multiple cities? Sign up with us and set up a Brand Page. It’ll place all your events in one place and make it easy for customers to browse and buy tickets. Setting up a Brand Page opens the door to Brand Alerts, which send push notifications to the people who follow your brand page via the Skiddle App.
You can use our tools to ensure safety at your event…
RapidScan, one of our flagship enterprise features, is free to use and can scan tickets in seconds. This gets people through the door quicker, leading to a safer and happier customer experience for your attendees.’
And use our What’s On guide for extra visibility…
Listing your event with Skiddle gets your event on our What’s On guide. It shows customers’ events via city and ranks high on Google. The benefit? Extra visibility for your event which can lead to more ticket sales.
Analyse your event with detailed tools…
You can use The Promotion Centre’s advanced analytics features to spot buying trends, helping you make data-informed decisions when improving your event.
We’re equipped to sell for theatre shows…
We’re fully equipped to list theatre events with our Allocated Seating feature. You provide the seating plan, and our team set it up. This helps you promote early ticket sales for your theatre show.
You can make your events tout proof…
Listen, we hate touts as much as you do. Our official resale platform, Re:Sell, protects you from people selling fake tickets and profiting from the hard work you and your team have carried out.
Simplicity is key…
We prioritise simplicity, and our Promotion Centre is an intuitive software that takes you through the listing process step by step.
Innovation is at the heart of our work…
Like some of the best DJs and bands, we’re excited by innovation. We’ve released industry-first features over the years and we’re committed to delivering more features to make your life easier.
Ibiza is always a focus…
The sound of the Balearic beat is music to our ears. So, if you’re in Ibiza and not listing with us, what are you waiting for? When Ibiza season hits, we react accordingly with a dedicated landing page selling tickets for all the best events and articles curated by our content team, which tells attendees where the party will be.
2024 is set to be a knockout year…
We’re gearing up for another packed year in 2024. Expect more promoter grants, more industry networking events and more insightful content from our blog and social channels. We want to ensure you’re armed with the best information possible.
