Hey, event planners. We see you.

It’s August, the sun’s still shining, and you’ve got a killer event coming up… but maybe the promo’s running a little behind. Don’t worry—we’ve all been there. Here are some fast, easy ways to grab attention and sell tickets, even when the countdown clock is ticking.

🎫 Get Local, Fast

You don’t need a massive ad budget—just reach the people closest to your venue. Boost a post that gets right to the point: time, place, vibe, ticket link.
🎥 Bonus points if it includes music, crowd shots, or clips from your headliner.

🎫  Post It Everywhere (More Than Once)

Yes, again. And again. Repetition = recognition = ticket clicks. Instagram. Facebook. Stories. Reels. Artist pages. Vendor accounts. Sponsor pages. Your event should live in people’s feeds.

🎫 Make the Ticket Link Easy

Put it everywhere. Bio, captions, stories, emails—front and center. Make it easy for fans to find your ticket link and buy with just a click.

 🎫  Countdown Posts = Instant Urgency

“3 Days Out!” “Tomorrow Night!” “Tonight Only!”
These posts are short, visual, and super effective. Use bold graphics or simple reels to get people hyped.

🎫  Hype Your Headliner (Again)

Even if you’ve already posted, do it again—with a twist:

• A funny clip
  
  

• A fan quote
  
  

• A backstage moment
  
  

• A throwback photo

  
  

• A reminder this is a rare hometown show

Give people a reason to care (again). 

🎫 Run a Flash Giveaway

Launch a quick “tag a friend” giveaway for tickets or merch. Or drop a 24-hour discount code. Scarcity + urgency = quick engagement and more reach.

🎫 Tap Your Team

Your artists, vendors, volunteers, and event staff are your biggest promoters. Share a ready-to-go Canva folder or image set and ask them to post. The more people talking about your event, the better.

Final Push Time. You Got This.

Let August be your strongest month yet. With a little last-minute hustle and the right tools, you can pack the place.
