Wikkit your next swing dance (wireless tickets - no convenience fees)


The team at Wikkit are big supporters of local music and dance events. With Wikkit, any group that's holding an event can easily do advance ticket sales on wikkit.com and scan tickets at the door with our free app for iPhones or Droids.

The best part is that Wikkit is TOTALLY FREE for event organizers to use and customers purchasing tickets only pay the 2.5% processing fee charged by credit card companies.

Just think -- wouldn't it be great if you could buy tickets to the The New York Swing Dance Society party featuring The Boilermaker Jazz Band on Saturday, January 22, 2011 or one of the many events put on by the NYC Balboa Club? We can even wikkit the tickets to Dance Manhattan's big New Year's Eve party at the MARC Ballroom!

Ticketing for these events isn't being done on Wikkit (or anywhere online) YET, but that's easy to change -- just shoot us an email (info@wikkit.com) and we'll have tickets to your next dance or party online by the end of the day!

Here's how it works:

STEP ONE: Email us with all of your event info, pictures, etc.

STEP TWO: Send everyone a link to your event on wikkit.com

STEP THREE:
Download the free Wikkit app for iPhones and Droids and scan people's cell phones or email ticket printouts when they arrive at the event (no more clipboards or searching lists for everyone's name - all you need is a smartphone).

STEP FOUR: HAVE A GREAT PARTY!!!

STEP FIVE: Get paid by Wikkit (we send all funds via paypal to the event creator's email address on file within 24 hours from the end of the event along with an Excel spreadsheet of all the ticket purchases and a timestamp of when the tickets were scanned at the door).



Psst - don't forget to follow us on Twitter @WikkitWikkit

Wikkit your NYE @ Dream Ultralounge (save $25 from price @ the door)!!!



Get your ticket for just $25 and $0 "convenience fee" on Wikkit.

(or you can always pay a $5 fee ($30 total) for the same ticket on Ticketweb if you really like wasting your hard earned cash :-)

How Wikkit Eliminates Check-In Fraud


As reported yesterday by the San Francisco Chronicle, "services like Facebook Places and Foursquare make it easy to 'check in' to places without actually going to them."

Unlike these services, Wikkit puts local businesses (like Yorganic) in control of user check-ins by providing a free scanning app and sending offers to customers via 2d barcodes ("wikkits"). When customers arrive at the store, the BUSINESS uses an iPhone or Droid with the free Wikkit app to check-in the customer. In addition to verifying that the customer is actually in the store, wikkits can be received on any cell phone--no smartphone is needed.

Not only does the Wikkit approach help eliminate the "well documented check-in fraud" that Michael Arrington of TechCrunch blogged about -- it allows local businesses build longer lasting relationships with customers by collecting email addresses and other user data when customers redeem promotions.
