🏁 Contesting
Quick answer: Dashboard, then Contesting under Marketing. The team creates the graphic and confirms the posting schedule before going live. You post and add the team as a collaborator, or ask them to post and add you.
The contest feature is a collaboration between you and The Ticketing Co. team. You request a contest for your event and the team helps create the graphic and runs a giveaway post on Instagram, getting your audience to like, comment, and share for a chance to win tickets.
Contests drive awareness, expand your reach to new audiences, and create organic engagement ahead of your event without paid advertising.
How to request a contest
Open your dashboard and click Contesting under Marketing.
Fill in the contest details form (see below).
Submit. The Ticketing Co. team will review your request, create the graphic, and confirm the posting schedule with you before going live.
