NO TICKET REQUIRED — The Veritix Blog

We are excited to highlight an exciting feature in Flash Seats® that allows fans to convert their paper tickets to Flash Seats paperless tickets.  Once the conversion is completed, fans can take advantage of all the benefits of the Flash Seats system including attending the event with a simple swipe of a registered electronic ID, electronically transferring seats to other individuals, and listing tickets for sale (if allowed by the venue).

The process for fans to convert to paperless tickets is simple and easy to follow in our Flash Seats system.  Fans are required to choose the number of tickets they are converting and the type of ticket to convert (Assigned Seats or General Admission), and enter ticket information, including the barcode. Tickets that are converted are only available on Flash Seats; the paper tickets become void and are no longer usable.  Once fans convert the tickets, they can start taking advantage of the great benefits Flash Seats offers.

This feature offers fans convenient, easy and secure transferability of their newly-converted Flash Seats tickets without the hassle of paper tickets. Instead of having to visit the Box Office in person or calling a Sales Representative, fans with paper tickets can now initiate the conversion directly from their computer or mobile device. Also, if fans learn they cannot attend the event last minute, the conversion will allow them to electronically transfer the seats to another person, or list their seats for sale on the marketplace.  This can be all done without having to meet in person to exchange the tickets, and everyone involved in the transfer or sale can relax knowing Flash Seats paperless tickets are legitimate and guaranteed, without the risk of fraudulent or counterfeit tickets.

For venues and artists, the feature will allow them to gain valuable marketing information.  Since the converted tickets will be on Flash Seats, venues and artists will be able to track fan habits and behaviors. Ticket purchases, transfers, sales, seating preferences, price sensitivity and attendance are tracked by the system, enabling personally-relevant marketing.  Knowing your customers is paramount, and this feature lets you gather more data about your most important asset—your fans.

We hear over and over that fans are looking for a flexible ticketing system that offers them options on how they manage their tickets. Our Flash Seats® paperless ticketing system meets this need by providing an unparalleled set of features and services to our users.  Flash Seats® has been designed to cater to fans’ needs  by creating an innovative system that makes ticket management easy and safe.  Here is a quick glance at the many ways fans can use and take advantage of the benefits of the Flash Seats system:

Buy, Sell, and Transfer Tickets in an Easy-to-Use System

• Flash Seats allows you to easily buy, sell, and transfer tickets through our paperless system.
• Flash Seats is essentially a portal to effectively manage ticket inventory.
• Fans can track the history of purchases, transfers, and sales and the contacts they send tickets to.
• Sellers can instantly sell tickets by setting up auto-sell parameters. They can also change the parameters (e.g., ask price, seller notes, expiration times) at any time prior to the tickets selling.
• Seat holders can change or update registered IDs associated with seats.

The Ultimate Convenience

• Fans can conveniently swipe in on event day with an registered, electronic ID, eliminating lost or misplaced tickets.
• Seats can instantly be transferred online to other fans, friends, or family members at anytime, even after the event has started. Transfers can be treated individually or as a group. Once tickets are transferred, people can add their own IDs and enter the event whenever they want, without waiting for the whole party to arrive.
• Fans can take advantage of one-stop shopping by visiting one marketplace for tickets to all their favorite events. The team or venue endorses the marketplace, making it easily accessible to fans looking to buy seats.
• Fans have the opportunity to sell unused tickets and buy seats to events that are sold out.

Secure System for Fans

• Seats are bought and sold within a secure environment that is backed by the team or venue, eliminating the possibility of fans buying counterfeit or phantom tickets.
• The anonymous, secure Flash Seats marketplace handles all transactions directly, avoiding the cycle of money arrangements between parties.
• The marketplace shows the real-time value of tickets in the marketplace, which helps inform and protect buyers and sellers.
