Ticketfire unveils new social media offering

 

TicketFire has launched a new platform that will enable ticket sales via social media.

The digital technology company said digital tickets can now be sold in real time, with vendors able to set their own price for tickets, input payment information and share unique social links on any social channel including Facebook and Twitter.

Ticketfire said buyers interested in the tickets can click a link and are directed to payment information, with no app download required. Once purchased, the ticket will be sent via text, while a PDF is sent to their email.

TicketFire deposits the money into the seller’s accounts within 48 hours of the event, allowing time for the buyer to attend the event or report any problems. Sellers will be charged 9% of the total ticket cost and buyers a 3% credit card processing charge.

“We created TicketFire to make exchanging and selling tickets seamless, and to give buyers the confidence to know they are getting the ticket they purchase,” said Ray Shealy, executive chairman of TicketFire. “The social selling component will likely come naturally to our users in today’s mobile, socially-connected world.”
