HUGE Event Mistake: Not Intentionally Creating a Sense of Immediate Buying Urgency!
Here’s an all-too-common event organizer phrase: “We have to get tickets on sale as quickly as possible so that people can buy early!” This “logic” gets applied constantly to event marketing campaigns. There is one major flaw with this thinking: it’s completely wrong!

A Very Important Note on Demand

By creating massive demand, clients have driven their advanced ticket sales up to $100,000 60 minutes. This happens weeks before their events actually take place, and they don’t have to spend a dime on advertising. That same client went out to generate $1,000,000 of advance ticket sales to an outdoor event with rain in the forecast. You can do the same!
