TicketBiscuit today unveiled a Facebook App that enables its clients to sell tickets directly from their Facebook Fan Page, without ever having to leave Facebook. The TicketBiscuit Fan Page Ticketing App is the latest in a series of innovations introduced by TicketBiscuit to help clients leverage social media to sell more tickets.
“In 2008, we were one of the first ticketing companies to offer seamless Facebook integration, and now we’re setting the pace again,” said TicketBiscuit Chief Marketing Officer Eric Housh. “Using Facebook for live event promotion is a necessity now. If you’re not doing it well, you’re not as successful as you could be,” he continues, “Our new app has taken it a step further, transforming a client’s Facebook Fan Page from a marketing channel into an actual sales channel .”
Housh says that the TicketBiscuit Facebook app is unique in that it links in real time to the client’s TicketBiscuit account, meaning that ticket sales can be taking place simultaneously on Facebook, on the client’s website, via the TicketBiscuit-provided mobile optimized smartphone interface, and via TicketBiscuit’s web-based box office point-of-sale software, with all inventory managed centrally in real time. The look and feel of the ticketing interface matches the clean look of Facebook. And in keeping with TicketBiscuit’s core philosophy, the client’s brand stays out in front. “It takes the concept of white-labeling to a whole new level: now you can have a white-label ticketing solution seamlessly integrated into your Facebook Fan Page along with your other web properties.”
Though TicketBiscuit just publicly announced Fan Page Ticketing today, it has been in testing for a couple of months. Several clients, including the Re:Generation Festival, Yarmony Grass Festival, and Comedy Zone Charlotte are already using the app with great success. The TicketBiscuit Fan Page Ticketing App can be added to any Facebook Fan Page with a couple of clicks. Housh says the only requirements are that you be an Admin of the Page and that you have a TicketBiscuit account.
If all goes to plan, the legendary Georgia Theatre will reopen this June, almost two years after a fire completely gutted the historic structure. Owner Wilmot Greene says that while the building will be brand new and state of the art, not everything is changing. “It’s still going to be the same crew, the same spirit, just in a new building,” he said.
Another thing that is staying consistent is The Theatre’s longstanding agreement with TicketBiscuit to provide ticketing services. Greene and CEO Jeff Gale inked a long term, exclusive deal earlier in the spring. “Those guys have stuck with us, helped us out, and they’re a great team,” Greene said, “Plus, they still have the best technology and service in the business, hands down.”
Todd Coder, TicketBiscuit’s Director of Music Business Development, said “Having an icon like the Georgia Theatre as a part of the TicketBiscuit family is something we’re very proud of. We’re excited about their reopening, and are sure they’re about to write a few more chapters of music history there.”
Gale and Coder, who toured The Theatre earlier in the year, were impressed with the new space. “Wil is building a world-class showroom in Athens. The new Theatre is absolutely phenomenal,” Gale said.
The Georgia Theatre is scheduled to open with local acts in June and July, and have a series of Official Grand Opening performances in August. For more information, visit www.georgiatheatre.com.

A couple of weeks ago, Doc McGee’s opened its doors with a kickoff concert by local phenom Andy Velo. As the newest music venue in Northeast Georgia, Doc McGee’s knew how important it was to select a proven yet affordable ticketing partner. And that’s why they chose TicketBiscuit.
Andy Velo rocks the stage at Doc McGee's Grand Opening, April 22.
Stephanie Green Williams, booking agent for the club, states “We’re all about nurturing the local music scene, and a big part of that is making it accessible. Doc McGee’s will be that place where you can see a great show in a world-class venue but it won’t break your bank. We’ve got drink specials, affordable valet parking, and best of all, affordable tickets. We chose TicketBiscuit instead of Ticketmaster as our online ticketing provider so we can keep convenience fees as low as possible.”
Doc McGee’s owner Amber Ashe says that the venue was designed “to be a musician’s mecca. Everything- from the sound system to video recording capability to the size of the stage and lighting – has been built to allow musicians to deliver awesome live performances.” She adds, “Concert goers will be able to experience the difference.”
Doc McGee’s is a welcome addition to the live entertainment scene in Georgia. We’re proud to partner with them and help them keep live music affordable and accessible for their fans.
Doc McGee’s joins close to 50 other notable Georgia venues such as The Georgia Theatre, The Classic Center, The Melting Point, The Rialto Room at Hotel Indigo, and The King Plow Arts Center in choosing TicketBiscuit to power their ticketing needs.
