How do I notify my ticket holders?
As an event organiser, it's important to keep your ticket holders informed about updates, marketing efforts, cancellations, or any other important details related to your event. One convenient way to do this is by using the admin section of 123 Tix, a popular event management platform. In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to notify your ticket holders using 123 Tix's built-in notification feature. By following these simple steps, you can easily send personalised emails to your ticket holders and ensure that they are well-informed about any updates or changes to your event. Let's get started!
Log into the admin section of 123 Tix.
Select Manage Events from the menu and choose Current Events.
Look for the event you want to notify ticket holders about and click the blue drop-down menu in the Options column on the right-hand side of the screen.
Select Notify Ticket Holders from the drop-down menu.
On the next screen, you can update the subject line of the email and type in the message you want to send to the ticket holders.
To personalize the email, use the greeting "Hi Managing your events" which will automatically insert each ticket holder's name.
Once you have finished writing the message, click Send to notify all the ticket holders about the event updates, marketing, cancellations, or any other important details.
Attendee Check-in APP
We have designed a quick and powerful app that gets people into the venue fast!
Wanting to avoid long queues and knowing if everyone has turned up is one of the challenges an event organiser faces.
Most event scanner setups include expensive hardware, clunky handheld scanners, or even hire fees.
We have changed the way events run with our very own ticket scanner which is compact, fast, easy-to-use. You can even have multiple people scanning tickets at the same time!
By using any smart phone that has a camera and downloading the 123 Tix App it will transform your device's camera into an event ticket scanner ideal for your next event! It scans the QR code quickly with a colour coded view to ensure each ticket is valid. Features that will keep the line at your event moving!
Your scanned tickets are linked to your account on the 123 Tix server and updates even if you are selling tickets at the venue. Link multiple scanners together at large events for complete entry coverage while real-time syncing keeps everyone connected.
The app logs all scanned tickets so it’s easy to review event attendance numbers. You also receive immediate alerts for any duplicate ticket entry attempts.

Point of Sale
Starting to sell tickets for events, whether large or small, is a straightforward process.
One of the major challenges faced by event organisers is the need to avoid long queues and ensure smooth and swift ticket sales on the event day. Most event point-of-sale (POS) setups aren't suitable for events due to their lack of integration, expensive hardware, cumbersome Eftpos systems, and high fees or rental costs.
We've revolutionised event management with our very own Point of Sale, seamlessly integrated with 123 Tix, designed for fast and user-friendly operation. You can even have multiple people selling tickets simultaneously.
Simply use any Apple iPad and download the 123 Tix App to log in and commence ticket sales, whether through Eftpos, cash, or complimentary methods. When using the 123 Tix Point of Sale, you can choose to automatically check-in attendees and decide whether to print tickets, receipts, or both – features that keep the lines at your event moving smoothly.
Your sold tickets are linked to your 123 Tix account and are updated in real-time as you check attendees in with the 123 Tix scanner app. This app also allows you to collect necessary data on the go, providing live data that can be exported and reviewed through the 123 Tix portal during or after your event.
Best of all, our Point of Sale app is available for download at no cost.
Effortless Capacity Management 123 Tix Point of Sale simplifies capacity management by automatically halting sales on both online and on-site platforms when capacity limits are reached.

Why isn't my event showing in search
When you create an event on 123 Tix, it's important to make sure it's in the correct status mode to ensure it appears in search results for customers. The event status modes available are draft, live, maintenance, and completed.
If your event is in draft or maintenance mode, it won't appear in the 123 Tix search results. This is because draft mode is used to edit and finalise event details, while maintenance mode is used to temporarily remove an event from public view.
On the other hand, if your event is in completed mode, it also won't appear in the search results. This is because the event has already taken place and is no longer available for purchase.
To increase your event's visibility in search results, you can add tags to the event page from the Organiser portal. Tags are descriptive keywords that can be added to an event to help customers find it more easily when they search for related terms. For example, if you're hosting a horse racing event, you could add tags such as "racing", "turf", "jockeys", and "horses".
By adding tags, your event will appear in search results when a customer searches for any of the tagged words. This can help increase your event's visibility and attract more customers to purchase tickets.
Can I link my other pages to the 123 Tix event page?
Yes, you can link your website, Facebook page, etc. to the 123 Tix event page in the event description. Just copy and paste the URL into the event description and press the hyperlink button (paper clip) and select open in a new window.
