FESTIVAL SEASON IS HERE— YOUR CHECKLIST BEFORE DOORS OPEN

At Sellout, we know summer festivals move fast. From early bird announcements to opening gates, you’ve got a lot to juggle—and your ticketing platform shouldn’t slow you down. That’s why we’re sharing a quick checklist of what to confirm before doors open.

Whether you’re hosting a one-night event or a multi-day experience, this is the moment to get your system dialed and your team aligned. We’re here to help you move through launch day with clarity, confidence, and zero chaos.

WHAT TO CONFIRM BEFORE LAUNCH

✅ TICKET TIERS & PRICING

Are all of your tiers live, labeled correctly, and priced as expected? Think: GA, VIP, Early Bird, or Day Passes. Double-check purchase limits and make sure the buyer experience is clear and easy.

WITH SELLOUT:

  • Easy tier setup and edits


  • Real-time inventory tracking


  • Mobile-optimized checkout for fans


✅ QR SCANNING & ENTRY

Is your entry process ready to go? Now’s the time to test your scanning setup, train the team, and make sure you have a backup plan in case of tech issues.

WITH SELLOUT:

  • Fast, app-based scanning (no training needed)


  • Offline scanning if service drops


  • Live entry tracking during the event


✅ ACCESS PERMISSIONS

Who needs access to what? Give staff the tools they need—without opening up your whole dashboard.

WITH SELLOUT:

  • Role-based permissions (Box Office, Entry Staff, Marketing, etc.)


  • Clean, intuitive user access


  • No confusion, no clutter


✅ REPORTING & PAYOUTS

Make sure you know what data you'll need during and after the event. Confirm your payout timeline, how to access reports, and how you’ll measure success.

WITH SELLOUT:

  • Sales dashboards in real-time


  • Exportable reports


  • Transparent payout info


✅ FINAL PROMO PUSH

Don’t forget to load in any last-minute promo codes, check your links, and make sure fans can still grab tickets from wherever they are.

WITH SELLOUT:

  • Easily create and track promo codes


  • Embed purchase links on your website


  • Track referral sources to see what’s working
