Best Practices

Here are some of our top use cases and best practices for leveraging Ticketmaster data to create highly effective marketing campaigns.

Ticket Availability Alerts

Utilize triggers to send timely SMS or email notifications when tickets for highly anticipated events become available. Build excitement and urgency among visitors by notifying them as soon as tickets are on sale.

Here are some examples of audiences you can build:

1

Build an audience of all ticket buyers at a specific location in the last 3-5 years

2

Build an audience of only those ticket buyers who attended a specific event previously.

3

Build an audience of ticket buyers who attended similar events from the same category (e.g., football, baseball, minor league).

Post-Event Email Surveys

Set up post-event email surveys triggered by attendance. Upon event completion, automatically send personalized emails requesting feedback on the fan's event experience.

• Build an audience of all ticket buyers of a specific event.

Dynamic Pricing Email Offers

Create trigger-based email journeys that send dynamic pricing offers to fans based on their engagement level. Encourage them to take advantage of price drops or promotions.

• Build an audience of high-value / middle value / low value ticket buyers:

Countdown to Kickoff Email Series

Design email journeys that send a series of countdown emails leading up to a game or event. Include engaging content, player profiles, and exclusive offers to build excitement.

Engagement-Based Re-Engagement Emails
