ABOUT US
UTicketIt provides a medium for organizations to sell tickets to their events online. Event organizers can easily create an event and begin selling tickets in minutes. Manual ticket sales can be tedious and laborious. UTicketIt automates the process and provides an online platform for event organizers to market and sell tickets to their events via the internet. UTicketIt simplifies the duties of event organizers by making ticket sales an online process rather than a door-to-door process.
As students at the University of Illinois my twin brother, Ryan, and I became frustrated with the ticket-buying process for on-campus events. There is no way to buy tickets online, so individuals must purchase tickets directly from the event organizer, the ticket office, or at the door. Realizing that other students shared our frustration, we developed the concept for our new business, UTicketIt. UTicketIt also helps to reduce the tedious tasks event organizers face while decreasing that amount of paper used when printing tickets since UTicketIt’s ticketing process is electronic.
UTicketIt provides a secure environment for online ticket sales. Our competitors let event organizers accept payment directly through PayPal, but offer very limited protection for purchasers in the case of fraud. Unlike other ticket-selling companies, UTicketIt has a built-in escrow system that protects ticket buyers against canceled or fraudulent events. With UTicketIt Escrow, receipt of funds is delayed until the event has taken place. If the event is canceled, the buyers receive a full refund. These risk-free ticket sales reassure buyers and result in higher ticket sales, and the electronic payments eliminate the need to process offline cash payments/refunds.
