Vistaprint can print a ticket. The gap opens on the details that make ticketed events run: numbering that audits, a stub that tears off, and a ship date that respects the event date.
Why organizers switch
What a ticketed night needs from the printer
Numbering that keeps the door honest
Sequential numbers turn a stack of paper into an audit trail: you know how many tickets exist, which block went to which seller, and what came back. Black ink numbering is an option on every ticket run, so the raffle ledger and the door count reconcile.
A stub you can tear
Add perforation and the ticket splits into a stub for the drawing or the door and a keeper half for the guest.
A ticket that feels like the event
A flimsy ticket undersells a paid event before anyone walks in. Fifteen stocks from 13pt to 18pt, linen and metallic pearl among them, make the ticket feel like part of the show.
A date you can plan around
Ticket runs take one to five business days, so the order can be timed backward from the event date.
Bulk pricing for festival volumes
A season of games or a multi-night festival needs thousands of tickets: 500 cost $77.99 and 5,000 cost $262.52, so the per-ticket cost falls to about 5 cents.
The whole event kit in one cart
Event flyers, posters, table tents, and banners for the same night can join the ticket order, one brand across every piece.
Door and ledger
What an event ticket actually has to do
Control the door, settle the books
A ticket is a small financial instrument. It has to prove the holder paid, tell staff where the holder belongs, and leave a paper trail the treasurer can reconcile after the night ends. The number does the accounting, the stub does the proof, and a design that puts the tear line away from the critical text keeps both halves legible.
Raffle rules are ticket rules
Raffles add demands: every entry needs its own number, the seller needs blocks they can account for, and the drawing needs stubs that survived a cash box. The step-by-step guide on how to make raffle tickets covers the setup.
Card and format
Stocks and formats you can specify
4OVER4.COM prints every ticket in full color. General admission and raffle tickets configure from the same order flow.
Every run gets a free file check, so a stub number crowding the tear line or a low-resolution sponsor logo is caught before printing. And the rest of the night can join the order: event flyers, club flyers, and posters from the event tickets category outward.
One size
Every ticket prints 2" x 5.5", the standard admission and raffle format.
Back side
Leave the back blank, or print it in black or full color for terms and sponsor logos.
Free proof
A free proof before printing checks the date, venue and price on every ticket.
Numbered or not

Wally explains the ticket switch
Numbered, perforated, and shipped before the doors open
An event ticket has to control a door, settle a ledger, and arrive before the night it belongs to. 4OVER4.COM prints sequential numbering and clean perforated stubs on heavyweight stock, runs raffle and square formats off the same press, and ships same-day on many products when you order by 12pm ET. Bulk tiers cover festival volumes, and the 110% price match keeps the total under any quote.

Ticket questions
Common Questions
What organizers ask before a run: raffle stubs need the number and the entrant details, and standard runs take 5 business days. Browse every printing question on our FAQs hub.
How can I get custom printed tickets?
Upload artwork or start from a template, then pick the stock and whether the run is numbered and perforated. Every order gets a free proof before it prints.
Can I print my own tickets?
A home printer handles a handful of tickets for a small gathering. It cannot print a numbered sequence, cut a perforation, or feed 18pt card through a long run. For anything with a door count or a raffle ledger behind it, a printed run does the job properly.
What has happened to VistaPrint?
Vistaprint is still trading and still sells tickets through its catalog. For a ticketed event the questions that matter are whether the numbering runs in sequence, whether the stub tears clean, and whether the run lands before the date.
How trustworthy is VistaPrint?
It is an established printer with a long record in small-business print. The fair way to compare any printer for tickets is on the operational detail rather than the brand name. 4OVER4.COM puts those details in writing: a free proof on every order and five written guarantees, Quality, Price Match, On-Time Delivery, Customer Service and Ultimate Satisfaction.
What is a good Vistaprint event tickets alternative?
4OVER4.COM prints 2 by 5.5 inch event tickets on 15 stocks, with optional black sequential numbering and a perforated stub. Start at event tickets or browse the event tickets category.
Can 4OVER4.COM print numbered raffle tickets?
Yes. Choose black ink sequential numbering and perforation at checkout, and write the entrant details on the stub side. The step-by-step guide on how to make raffle tickets covers numbering, stub layout, and the legal basics to check locally.
What should go on an event ticket?
Event name, date, time, venue, seat or section if assigned, the ticket number, and any terms on the back. Keep the tear line clear of critical text so both halves stay readable. The design walkthrough on event ticket layout shows how the strongest tickets arrange all of it without clutter.
How fast can I get event tickets printed?
Ticket runs take one to five business days, 99.8% of orders ship on time, and a written On-Time Delivery guarantee backs the date. Upload the file, approve the free proof, and the run ships toward your event date, not past it.
How do 4OVER4.COM ticket prices compare to Vistaprint?
Fifty 2" x 5.5" tickets cost $25.27, 100 cost $42.84 and 500 cost $77.99, so the per-ticket cost falls from about 51 cents to 16 cents as a fundraiser grows into a festival. On top of the tiers, 4OVER4.COM will beat any competitor’s total price by 10 percent with our 110% Price Match Guarantee, so a lower Vistaprint quote becomes a lower 4OVER4.COM price.
Do you print matching flyers and posters for the same event?
Yes. Event flyers, club flyers, posters, and banners can go in the same order as the tickets. The roundup of promotional materials for events is a good planning checklist.
What ticket formats are available?
General admission and raffle tickets in one 2" x 5.5" size, with full color on one or both sides.
