This usually comes from organizers after their second or third event. The first time, you think you know better, but then reality teaches fast )
What we see across TicketsCandy events:
- Events that start marketing at least 4 weeks out sell about 35% more tickets.
- Organizers who email their list before posting publicly see ~20% of sales come in the first 2 days.
- Clear deadlines (price increase or tier ending) increase final-week sales by around 25%.
So, the common advice people ignore at first, but probably should not:
“Start earlier.”
“Build your list.”
“Don’t rely only on social media.”
Test your equipment before you take the first sale.
Hard learned lesson? Nothing worse than finding out your tech doesn't work when people are already showing up )
