Pricing
e-RegisterNow charges an annual fee which allows for unlimited ticket sales at an unlimited number of shows. We DON’T charge in the current format: 2% of sales + 0.40 per ticket! Selling tickets online allows customers to buy eTickets 24 x 7.
Custom Solutions
For large and small shows there are often several nuances to pricing or special deals which can’t be realized using a standard cookie cutter software package. e-RegisterNow’s support team listens carefully to how a particular show is setup and crafts a web based solution based on the discussions which take place during a series of kick-off meetings. There might be promotional deals with special pricing or coupons from the newspaper that affect the how much people pay.
eTickets
The tickets are presented to the purchaser on the browser screen immediately after payment. Most purchases print their tickets at this time. The tickets are additionally emailed to the purchaser as a PDF attachment for safe keeping. e-RegisterNow is the best place to sell tickets online. Concert tickets with reserved seating help reassure the purchaser that the ticket printed out has a guaranteed seat assignment. There are no extra fees for printing tickets at home.
Corporate Bank Deposits
e-RegisterNow is connected to many tier one VISA/MC/AMEX credit card acquirers. By using your own set of merchant accounts, you save considerably on card fees. Sell tickets fast and get your money fast. Getting paid fast may be a significant asset for new shows. Choose ticketing software which allows you to reach a larger demographic who have access to credit cards or even the new debit cards. Many younger people tend to use their debit cards ahead of credit cards.
Backend Administration for Selling Tickets

Social Media
e-RegisterNow and InGo.me have a combined optional add on which turns the registration pages into a tremendous social media advocate tool. Purchases initially login to facebook or twitter and see others who they know who are also going to the show. Purchases can post to their facebook walls or send out invites to their friends letting them know that they are attending the show.
Scanning App
An IOS scanning app called, “e-RegisterNow e-ticket scanner”, is a free download from the App Store. This app scans 1-d barcodes from a paper based eticket or off the screen from a mobile device. The scanning app works in either standalone mode or in internet connected mode. Numerous scanning devices keep synchronized amongst themselves. There is also a PC based laptop app which while connected to a usb scanner is also available for redeeming etickets. The PC software and IOS apps all communicated in real-time to each other. No ticket selling software should exist without having an advanced bar code reader for redeeming tickets.
The service provides email confirmations with PDF ticket attachments as well as a capability for blasting out emails to all ticket holders to advise them of some late breaking details.
