Another successful bake off!

Lots of summer flavours to keep the office going last week 🍓

Send this to the friend who says they’re “done booking shows” until next month.

At Fred Again's recent Alexandra Palace shows, fans were asked to place stickers over their phone cameras to discourage filming and help everyone stay present.

But the smartest part came afterwards.

Fred promised fans access to a Dropbox packed with professional photos and videos from the tour, meaning people could enjoy the moment without worrying about capturing it themselves.

It's a simple idea, but it tackles one of the biggest tensions in live events: people want to be fully immersed, but they also want memories to take home.

Instead of thousands of shaky phone videos, fans get high-quality content and a better atmosphere in the room.

As people who live and breathe live events, we're fascinated by this approach.

Could artist-provided content be the future of phone-free concerts?

One of the most common questions our phone booking team hears is:
"How many tickets have gone already?"
And when people hear seats have already been booked, they're often much more likely to buy.

That's because sold tickets create something powerful: social proof.

By giving early access to members, subscribers, previous attendees, friends, or supporters, organisers can secure those first sales before opening tickets to the wider public.

Then, when the general sale begins, potential buyers don't see an empty event. They see demand already building.

At TicketSource, features like password-protected sales and timed pricing categories make it easy to run presales and reward your earliest supporters.

Sometimes the best way to sell more tickets isn't improving your launch day marketing—it's creating demand before launch day arrives.

Have you ever run a presale for one of your events?

Before cancel culture had a name, there was Elvis.

In 1956, churches condemned him, newspapers attacked him, parents feared him, and TV networks censored his performances. Many Americans genuinely believed Elvis Presley was corrupting the nation’s youth.

Today he’s remembered as the King of Rock and Roll. But back then, many wanted him stopped.

Who is the modern-day Elvis?

This one sparked a lot of nostalgia (and debate) within the team this week, and here’s what they chose.

Now we want to know: if you could buy a ticket to any fictional world, where would you go?

Live events do more than entertain us.

They pull us out of routines, screens, stress, and noise ...even if only for a few hours.

That’s the power of art and why creating live experiences will always matter.

Most organisers focus on getting tickets online.
Attendees focus on whether they feel confident enough to buy.

Questions like:
• Is there parking available?
• Is the venue accessible?
• Are concessions or carer tickets available?
• Are there age restrictions?
• How long does the event run for?

Might seem small, but every unanswered question creates hesitation.

Before your tickets go on sale, take a few minutes to look at your event page through the eyes of a potential attendee.

What questions do you get asked most often about your events?
