Presale Ticket Reward Template

Use this pre-sale ticket reward template to give fans an early access ticket opportunity before the general public.

Run an event ticket pre-sale that rewards users who complete meaningful actions, then deliver unique promo codes that allow them to buy tickets before standard sales open.

This campaign works by offering a limited number of early access tickets through ballot-style entries. Once users complete your designated actions, they receive a coupon or promo code that lets them purchase tickets during a private pre-sales window, helping you build hype and secure tickets purchased ahead of time.

Turn Pre-Sale Hype Into Long-Term Fans
  • Set Clear Limits: Explain the number of tickets available and any general admission or seating rules.
  • Clarify Timing: Show when the event ticket pre-sale starts and when codes expire.
  • Prioritise Core Actions: Make joining the waitlist mandatory and keep extra actions optional but rewarding.
  • Promote Across Channels: Use email and social media platforms to drive fans into your ballot flow.
