In our efforts to give you the most comprehensive report data on your events we’ve updated our event and sales reports pages. User friendly graphs, charts and maps provide vital event information and stats.
When creating or editing an event you can add band bios and photos by importing their existing information from their Last.fm profile. The band bios and photos will automatically be posted to your custom event page! Here’s how its done:
Now you can tag your events in hold my ticket. Here is a series of screenshots that show you a quick way of tagging events.
Click the + tag icon to create a new tag for your event
A text field appears.
Now enter in your tags separated by commas.
Now click the “Save” button, and your tags will be saved to the event.
You can now add a promo code (a coupon password) to a ticket. An example of how to utilize this new feature is to send out special offers to members of your facebook page, newsletter and/or twitter account like, “Hey fans, want to see the show tomorrow? The next 50 tickets will receive a $5 discount! Type in promo code diamond to get discounted tickets.”
Adding a promo code to a ticket is simple.

We’ve launched an exciting new feature which allows our clients to customize their own unique web page for each event. A custom page for each event can be built by using the simple WYSIWYG tools on the HTML Description field and the other options under Custom Event Options such as Custom Page Background Image and Background Color picker. A Google map to the event is drawn automatically from the given event address. Dynamic content such as band bios, photos and video can be pulled in from last.fm by simply entering an artist’s name. Each event page gets a custom URL to link-to like “https://holdmyticket.com/event/6994″ and each page automatically generates an array of social networking buttons for fans to instantly post events on sites like Twitter, Facebook and Myspace. Also, under Media Options we added the ability to upload images and even attach YouTube videos to a custom page!

We are now offering free mobile websites. A “mobile site” is a website that is specialized for the small screens of mobile phones like the iPhone or Blackberry. Calendars can be hard to look at on a small screen so we can direct your visitors to an optimized, smaller version of your event calendar.
