 PLUS, SELL TICKETS TO YOUR SHOWS ONLINE
It's easy and convenient to sell tickets online through YEG Live! More importantly, it's easy for Edmonton's live music fans to buy tickets through YEG Live!
When patrons buy advance tickets through YEG Live, you're putting them at the front of the line, and they will show their appreciation. Also, when patrons buy in advance, you'll find that they are going to spend more in your establishment, because they weren't greeted at the door by having to pay for admission.
Our ticketing system automatically updates you with attendance numbers throughout the weeks and days prior to upcoming shows, so you can adjust your staffing levels and prep accordingly.
Right before the event, we'll fax and/or email a complete list of ticketholders, so your door staff will know who has a valid ticket.
There is no set up fee for ticketing events through YEG Live – we charge just 6.9% commission² on the ticket amount. Patrons will pay only $1.99 per ticket as a service charge.
E-ticketing through YEG Live is so convenient for your clientele, your performers, and for you.

Build your clientele by offering convenience and security! And build a loyal clientele by being able to offer this convenience for every show you host! It's not just for the national tours anymore... let them spend the fees and suffer the hassles of the other ticket guys.
What's more, we send out YEG Live representatives armed with great YEG Live swag to random shows that have been ticketed using our site. They give away free prizes to randomly selected YEG Live e-ticket holders in your audience. Who doesn't like to get free stuff? And the best part is that this reflects on your venue, building excitement and buzz about your establishment.

 AND INCREASE REVENUE!
Many venues take the approach that advance ticket revenue goes solely to the artist, but door tickets sales go to the house or are split with the house. This doesn't make the best business sense, but it is often the 'default' policy because of the hassle of collecting after the show.
When a show is sold through YEG Live, we collect all the revenue and then payout to venues and artists on a pre-arranged split formula. This means you can earn revenue from EVERY ticket sold for your venue, and you don't have to endure the hassle of collecting after the show. It's easier to enforce your booking and payout policies when someone else is handling it for you!
Advance ticket holders will spend more in your establishment, because the ticket cost is not on their minds while they're enjoying the show.
Choose our Express Payout service4 and be paid via PayPal within 48 hours of your show, or be paid within 10 days via PayPal with our Standard Payout service. Although PayPal can deposit directly into your business chequing account, you can also request a printed check that we'll mail out to you with in 10 days.4
