Ticketing Transformation: How Promoter Ryan Levy Swapped Chaos for HoldMyTicket Calm

When Ryan Levey took over a historic venue in downtown Spokane, Washington, he made a shocking discovery - the venue used Venue Pilot to ticket and manage events. He reacted viscerally.

“Hell no!”

He knew what had to be done and took immediate action. He signed the venue up for a HoldMyTicket account. “It’s way better,” he reasoned coolly.

Back in 2011, a few years into his now-16 year-old career as a promoter, Ryan was introduced to the power of HoldMyTicket. As an event organizer with events at multiple venues, Ryan was struggling to keep his events organized while using yet another event ticketing platform that was failing to meet his needs. The problem plagued Ryan, following him into conversations with fellow promoters. Finally, after he exasperatedly shared his misery of managing his events once more, a solution was offered to him by another event organizer: HoldMyTicket.

“They’ll get you set up with everything in just a few days,” the wiser promoter advised. “They’ll even hook you up with a website.”

Ryan heeded the advice immediately and within a few days, he was indeed set up with everything he needed to manage and ticket his events. HoldMyTicket even hooked him up with a website. And it was all provided for free. Ryan couldn’t believe the vast capabilities he acquired with the software, discovering “HoldMyTicket is a lot more intricate, in a good way.”

It was then that Ryan vowed to always use HoldMyTicket. The platform, featuring easy event creation and ticket customization, has become an indispensable tool when it comes to managing and growing his business. Reports, coupons and the newsletter tool are essential to running his venue the best way he knows how. Using anything but HoldMyTicket is unconscionable to Ryan. “It is a staple on site that I use regularly.”

Within days of signing up his new venue for an account with HoldMyTicket, the new system was being implemented. More than a decade later, the process was still impressively simple, a testament to the platform’s ease and reliability.

“It is the tried and true method that never fails,” Ryan affirmed, with no reservations about how HoldMyTicket has impacted his career as a promoter.

“I can honestly say that HoldMyTicket has been the greatest companion to me as a promoter, and to be successful in the events I set up. And to also grow my business with reliable and effective tools.”
