Interest lists
Build your list before the sale
An interest list is a sign-up form on your event page before tickets go on sale. Visitors leave their email, and you choose whether byTicks emails them when the sale starts or you contact them yourself.
Two modes
Notify at sale start, or pre-register
In Notify at sale start, byTicks emails everyone on the list once the Sale Start has passed. In Pre-registration, nothing goes out automatically, not even when sales open: you write to the list yourself.
- Publishing the event never emails the list
- Pre-registration lets you test demand for an event that is not confirmed yet
- In Notify mode you can send earlier with Send Notifications; nobody gets it twice
- Switching modes keeps every sign-up and answer
The form
Ask what you need to know
Email address is always required. Name, Phone number, City and How many tickets would you buy? can each be Off, Optional or Required. Visitors sign up without an account or password.
- Up to 10 extra questions: free text, or a choice with up to 12 options
- A button that opens a pop-up, or a form on the page
- Your own button label, title, subtitle and intro text
- When the sale opens, the page switches to the tickets by itself
After the sign-up
Thank-you page, confirmation and WhatsApp
Show your own Thank-you page after sign-up and send a Confirmation email in the byTicks default design or your own. The confirmation goes once per person per event, and nothing is sent until you switch it on.
- An unticked WhatsApp box: only people who tick it can get messages there
Your list
A list you can work with
Every sign-up lands in your subscriber list. Search it, download a CSV with every field and answer, or add a subscriber by hand.
- Email all subscribers writes a campaign to this list, without people who already bought
- The CSV has one column per extra question
- A sign-up can start an automation flow
What the list tells you
Read the demand before you book
The report What this list tells you shows how many sign-ups bought a ticket, the minimum number of tickets people said they would buy, the top cities and the answers per option.
