In the fast-moving world of events, timing is everything. Whether you’re an event organizer looking to build hype before ticket sales officially open, or a fan eager to secure a spot early, the new Ticket Pre-Order feature on ME-Ticket changes the game.
With this new addition, ME-Ticket continues its mission to make event management simple, flexible, and efficient for everyone involved. So, what exactly does this feature do — and how can it help your next event thrive? Let’s dive in.
What Is the Ticket Pre-Order Feature?
Think of ticket pre-orders as a reservation system for your audience. Instead of waiting until the official ticket release, attendees can place a pre-order for the event they’re excited about.
From the organizer’s side, this means one thing: you can measure real interest before your event even goes live. That’s powerful. You’ll know how many people are ready to buy and can plan seating, pricing, and logistics accordingly.
On ME-Ticket, the pre-order process is fully integrated into the platform. Buyers can select their ticket types, quantity, and fill out contact information — all within a clean, intuitive interface. Once the tickets become available, their pre-orders are confirmed automatically.
How It Works for Organizers
Inside the ME-Ticket Organizer Dashboard, when creating a new event, you’ll now see a new section in the payment setup called “Ticket Order."
Here, organizers can choose between several options, including:
- Full Organizer Management – where you handle all orders manually without pre-orders or ticket downloads.
- Customer Pre-Order Tickets – the new feature that enables ME-Ticket to manage pre-orders for you, including manual ticket sending and simple order tracking.
- Ticket Generator – for generating downloadable PDF tickets in bulk or individually.
If you select Customer Pre-Order Tickets, ME-Ticket automatically allows buyers to reserve tickets online before full sales open. You don’t need to worry about manually keeping track of names, emails, or payments — the system handles it all.
You can also add:
- Ticket office address (for those selling in person)
- Merchant contact info (email, phone number, etc.)
This setup ensures that both online and offline sales channels stay in sync — no confusion, no double-bookings.
Payment Options That Fit Every Organizer
The pre-order feature works hand-in-hand with ME-Ticket’s flexible payment system. When setting up your event, you can choose between two main payment types:
- Ticket Office (Offline Payment) – Perfect for local events or organizers who prefer direct transactions. Buyers will see your contact details and physical address to complete purchases in person.
- Pay Online (via Stripe) – Ideal for digital-first organizers. Simply connect your Stripe account and start receiving payments automatically after every sale. If Stripe isn’t supported in your country, you can still use ME-Ticket’s built-in solution, with payouts sent after your event concludes.
No matter which option you choose, ME-Ticket makes setup incredibly easy — just add your payment details once, and you’re ready to go.
The Buyer’s Experience: Simple, Clear, and Fast
From the buyer’s perspective, the pre-order process on ME-Ticket is smooth and user-friendly.When visitors open your event page, they’ll see a “Pre-Order” button instead of the usual “Buy Now.” Clicking it takes them straight to the checkout page, where they can:
- Select ticket types (VIP, Regular, Fan Zone, etc.)
- Adjust quantities
- View the total cost
- Add their contact details
The clean layout ensures everything is visible at a glance — ticket categories, pricing, event details, and even organizer contact info.
Once a customer places a pre-order, they’ll receive a confirmation and can relax knowing their seats are reserved. When full sales go live, they’ll be first in line.
