Events & Ticketing Engine – Manage Events & Sell Tickets Directly

For any organization that hosts events—whether they are workshops, conferences, fundraisers, or live performances—managing ticket sales is a critical component of success. Relying on third-party ticketing platforms often means sacrificing a significant percentage of your revenue to high commission fees, creating a disjointed brand experience for your attendees, and losing control over your valuable customer data.

The Events & Ticketing Engine is designed to solve these core challenges by centralizing all event management tasks within your WordPress website. It creates a single, powerful hub where you can publish event details, sell tickets directly to your audience, and manage attendees efficiently. This integrated approach not only saves you money by eliminating hefty third-party commissions but also enhances your brand’s professionalism by keeping your customers on your site throughout the entire ticketing process.

From creating beautiful event listings to providing a seamless checkout experience and simplifying attendee check-in on the day of the event, this Engine is built to support you at every stage. It provides the robust framework necessary to streamline your operations, allowing you to focus on what matters most: creating an unforgettable experience for your attendees.

The SiteEngine Difference
An event platform should empower your brand, not detract from it. Our approach is to build you a self-contained, fully-owned event management and ticketing hub. We don't just link to an external service; we engineer an integrated system where your event calendar, ticket sales, and payment processing all live under your brand on your website. This gives you unparalleled control and financial advantage.

  • Robust Event Management Framework: We build your system using a powerful and dedicated event management platform for WordPress. This provides a reliable framework for creating detailed event pages, managing venues and organizers, and displaying events in beautiful calendar or list views.
  • Integrated Ticketing & E-commerce: We seamlessly integrate a ticketing module that allows for the creation of multiple ticket types with different prices and stock levels. This system connects directly to your payment gateways for secure, on-site transactions.
  • QR Code & Check-In System: We configure the system to automatically generate and email a unique QR code for each ticket sold. This code can then be scanned at the event for quick and easy check-in using a mobile device.
  • Custom Calendar & Event Styling: We ensure that the design of your event calendar, event pages, and ticketing forms are all styled to perfectly match your brand's identity, creating a cohesive and professional look.
  • End-to-End Workflow Testing: From buying a ticket to receiving the confirmation email and checking in at the door, we test the entire attendee workflow to ensure it is smooth, reliable, and bug-free before your first event goes live.

Why This Works For You ...

The Events & Ticketing Engine is a direct investment in your profitability and brand independence. By eliminating third-party commission fees, the system often pays for itself after just one or two successful events. It gives you complete ownership of your revenue, your brand experience, and your valuable attendee data.

Your Competitive Advantage: Your competitors are sending their valuable customers to third-party sites like Eventbrite, losing control of their brand and paying up to 10% or more of their hard-earned revenue in fees. Your website, powered by this Engine, becomes a professional, commission-free ticketing hub. You’ll not only have a significant financial advantage but you’ll also own your customer relationships, allowing you to build a loyal audience for future events that your competition can’t reach.
