Magento is the biggest e-Commerce platform, and it is most popular for its easy. However, for people who wanted to sell Event Tickets, the system was not really ideal, as downloadable products or digital products don’t really fall in that category. Luckily, there is now the option to sell Event Tickets with the Event Tickets by Aheadworks extension.
Ticket selling has always been a hassle in Magento, and this extension solves the problem perfectly. You are able to create tickets for events like concerts, seminars, training courses or converences.

The Event Tickets Magento extensial is an essential instrument to assist retailers to sell seats on the web for workshops & classes, competitions, conventions, or any occasion. You can specify the cost of the tickets, for each event individually. There can be multiple levels assigned like basic tickets or premium tickets. As an example, it is possible to sell 10 VIP seats and 30 traditional seats (worth $100) to get a class.
The extension allows PDF tickets to be sent by you via email. The email will contain the order confirmation, and a QR code. The customer can visit the event, and display the QR code that he received in the order confirmation. The event manager can scan the QR code to validate the tickets. This is a very convenient way to get in an event, and it reduces the risk of lost tickets and long waiting lines. The QR code can be scanned with any Smartphone that has a camera.
The Ticket system supports simple, downloadable and virtual products. When the tickets are ordered by the customer they will receive an email containing the date of the event, their online ticket with unique QR code, Instructions for the event and ofcourse the location of the event. You will also get a small Google Maps field that contains the route to your event from the customers address. These maps will also be visible in the customers “my account” area.
As a store owner, you can specify the amount of tickets that are available for sale and the amount of special or VIP tickets that can be sold. When the event is about to start, or has sold out, you can easily export a list of all the attendees in CSV, XLS or PDF format. The Magento Event Tickets extension allows you to view the statistics per every event and analyze the effectiveness of marketing and merchandising strategies for that specific event.
