Last week, we hosted a webinar on how RunSignup customers can use TicketSignup to increase revenue and boost their business.
At Roadshows and in conversations with customers, we frequently find that customers are already working with or adjacent to ticketed events and did not make the connection that TicketSignup can help them. A few key reasons that TicketSignup can be an ideal fit for RunSignup customers:
- Common RunSignup and TicketSignup platform elements with a familiar UI
- Use the same login & payment account across registration and ticket events (can also support multiple payment accounts)
- Less expensive and more robust ticketing solution compared to Eventbrite
- Partners with more than 5,000 registrations or ticket sales can combine sales for revenue sharing opportunities
Take a look at a few examples of how RunSignup customers are finding success with TicktSignup.
TicketSignup for a Gala
Richmond SPCA
The Richmond SPCA hosts an annual Dog Jog 5K and Block Party on RunSignup. In 2023, they had 1,000+ participants raised $185,000+ for through donations to the event.
In 2023, the Richmond SPCA is also using TicketSignup to host their Fur Ball, a black-tie gala event for people and their pets.
- The Fur Ball has one of our favorite website designs, including custom brand colors and designs, key event information, and additional website pages for more event logistics and details.
- Donation options are seamlessly included within the purchase path. They personalize donation levels with details about what each donation level covers in terms of animal care.
- The flexible ticket system allows them to offer tickets for everything from individual people and pets to corporate table purchases.
TicketSignup for a Conference
WXPN
WXPN uses RunSignup for the 5k Run for Musicians On Call, an annual virtual run. In addition to the virtual run, they collect donations and engage fundraisers.
WXPN has used TicketSignup for the previous two NON-COMMventions. The NON-COMMvention is an annual gathering of public radio programmers and managers, music industry representatives, and music media from across North America.
- The NON-COMMvention offers multiple ticket options depending on if the attendee is a radio station employee, a music/media industry representative, or a WXPN listener.
- Custom Questions ensure that WXPN has all the details they need about conference attendees. This includes their name, organization, and state as it should be listed on their conference badge.
- WXPN utilized TicketSignup’s free and integrated email to communicate key details with the attendees, including check-in processes, livestream links, and schedule changes.
TicketSignup for Event Admissions
Loppet Foundation
The Loppet Foundation uses RunSignup for a variety of events, including the Loopet Loppet, a 6 or 13 hour run/walk challenge, and camps for the Junior Program of Loppet Nordic Racing.
The Loppet Foundation used TicketSignup to sell spectator tickets to the COOP FIS Cross-Country World Cup Minneapolis.
- Ticket options were available for General Admission, Grandstand, and the VIP Spectator Experience, with a variety of day options for each ticket type.
- The Loppet Foundation included a Merchandise Store to upsell ticket buyers (and fans who couldn’t make the event live) with fun options for winter hats and the option to purchase a carbon offset.
- Donations integrated into the purchase path provided the opportunity for ticket purchasers to support the work of the Loppet Foundation.
This isn’t the first such customer we have seen use TicketSignup for their admissions and spectator tickets. Other recent events selling spectator tickets include the Adidas Indoor Track Nationals, HOKA Festival of Miles, the LIDS MIAA Lacrosse Championships, and more.
