The Perfect Setting
Eau Claire provides the perfect backdrop for Country Jam USA. With its beautiful natural surroundings, including sprawling fields and picturesque landscapes, the festival site offers a charming and immersive environment. The blend of rural beauty and vibrant festival energy creates a unique and enjoyable setting.
Split Tickets
One of the unique features of Country Jam USA is its split ticket option, which offers added flexibility for festival-goers. Understanding that not everyone can commit to a full three-day experience, the split ticket option allows attendees to choose tickets for individual days of the festival. This flexibility is perfect for those with busy schedules or for those who want to experience specific headliners without committing to the entire event.
1. Flexibility: Whether you can only attend one day or want to catch a particular artist, the split ticket option provides the flexibility to tailor your festival experience to your availability and interests.
2. Affordability: By opting for single-day tickets, you can manage your budget more effectively. It’s a cost-effective way to enjoy top-notch country music without having to purchase a full festival pass.
3. Easy Access: The split ticket option ensures that even if you can’t make it for the entire festival, you still get to be part of the action. It allows you to plan your visit around the performances and activities that matter most to you.
This is a feature that we implemented into our system so that when a split ticket is scanned in it will specifically let the person scanning know in case the customer didn’t make them aware that it was a split ticket.
It is also a common occurrence that a customer ends up wanting to un-split the tickets so that they go back to a 3-Day pass instead of broken into 1 day passes. Because of that Country Jam makes use of our Force Entry feature. This makes it so you can tell our system to ask the scanner if they want to force allow a ticket to be scanned that is for another day. That way you can mark the two additional days as scanned in so the customer cannot then give out those tickets and they be used for other days.
Renewals
With the world continuing to make technological advances we see that in many way in the ticket industry. Once of those is with something called ‘Renewals’. This is an option that ticket companies give to clients that clients can then give to their customers. It makes it so that their customers can easily login to their account and repurchase the same tickets that they had the previous year. This builds excitement around the event but it also makes things a lot easier for the customer.
We give our clients the ability to turn this on or off for their event. They can they further customize this by adding a time frame that they will allow for customers to renew or even choose which items they want to turn this on for; General Admission Tickets, Camping, or reserved seating.
Country Jam goes above and behind by actually having a renewal tent during Country Jam so that customers can renew in person. This makes things easier for those customer that are not so technologically advance. Also, it captures renewals that might not have ever happened had they not done so in person at the event.
If your event is solid then sometimes the best salesperson for an event is the event itself. In Country Jams case i think that is why they are so successful with renewals at the event. Customers are their having a great time and are in the perfect mood when they walk buy the tent and decide that they want to relive the experience again the following year.
