Maximizing Revenue Through Custom Payment Processing Fees
In the world of event management, every dollar counts—especially as costs for venues, marketing, and on-site services continue to rise. An often-overlooked way to offset these expenses and even generate additional revenue lies in custom payment processing fees for ticket sales.
Unlock Greater Economic Impact
Ticket sales, merchandise, and concessions significantly contribute to the economic impact of events. Not only do they generate direct revenue for event organizers, but they also have broader implications for local economies. Here’s a high-level breakdown of their far-reaching influence:
Choosing the Right Ticket Fee Strategy
In the world of event management, particularly for large outdoor events and air shows, ticket pricing is a delicate balancing act. A pivotal decision organizers face is whether to absorb ticket fees or pass them on to attendees. This choice goes beyond a simple financial calculation—it can significantly impact revenue, attendee satisfaction, and overall ticket sales.

Why Event Ticket Protection is Smart for Ticket Buyers and Sellers

Keep Control of Ticketing: Separate Ticketing from Master Concessionaire Agreements
Military airshows are unique and logistically complex events that draw large crowds eager to witness the best of aviation. To manage these massive undertakings, it may seem convenient to bundle ticketing into a Master Concessionaire Agreement (MCA), allowing one entity to oversee multiple aspects of the event.
Why Software Doesn’t Ensure Event Success
Let’s face it—event planning is challenging. You’ve got tickets to sell, promotions to run, and a crowd to entertain. The last thing you want to deal with is technical headaches, right? You might think having cutting-edge ticketing software will solve all your problems, but the truth is, software alone doesn’t guarantee event success. Sure, automation is great, but if something goes wrong, it’s not the software that’ll save the day—it’s the people behind the platform.
5 Ways to Elevate the Ticket-Buying Experience
One lesson we learned from the pandemic is to prepare for the unexpected. Ticket Buyers, more than ever, are seeking flexibility and peace of mind when purchasing event tickets. They want to be sure that their investment will not go to waste in the event of last-minute travel cancellations, family or health emergencies, or unforeseen circumstances.
How to Use Social Proof to Sell More Tickets
One of the best ways to sell more tickets for your event is to elicit consumers’ emotional responses through your marketing messages and experiences. This includes the messages and experiences on your event’s ticket sales page.
Why Every Event Should Offer Buy Now Pay Later Tickets
At AttendStar, we’re always looking for new features to add to our event ticketing platform that can help event organizers sell more tickets, generate additional revenue, and hold successful events. That’s why we partnered with Affirm, a well-known and highly respected payment processor, to add a new Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) feature to the AttendStar ticketing software.
