Print Tickets People Hold Onto

At the door, the ticket a guest hands over proves someone paid, it tears into a stub for the gate, and it carries a number that lets you count the room. Event tickets start at $25.27 for a set of 50, rated 5.0 out of 5 across 65 reviews, printed in New York by a shop that has run this press since 1999. Whether you are staging a concert, a gala, a raffle, or a school fundraiser, a numbered ticket tells you how many people came through the door.

At 3,000 a ticket costs about 7 cents, it tears into a stub and a keeper, and the running number lets the box office reconcile the night. Square tickets and other styles sit on event tickets printing, and the choices for this one follow below.

A PTA door-prize draw needs 50 tickets for $25.27, about $0.51 each. A community theater selling a full run of shows orders 600 for $92.26, and a festival gate at 5,000 comes near a nickel a ticket. The table below gives the run total at each tier.

What Are Event Tickets

Event tickets are full-color admission cards printed on a fixed 2" x 5.5" stock, on any of 15 materials, with optional sequential numbering in black ink and tear-off perforation, and ink set to 4/0, 4/1, or 4/4 in the price calculator on this page.

An event ticket carries your artwork on the front, an optional stub the gate tears at the perforation, and an optional running number that ties each ticket to a seat, a raffle entry, or a headcount. You set the ink coverage, pick the stock, switch numbering and perforation on or off, and the price updates with each choice. If you want a square shape instead of the classic rectangle, the Square Event Tickets run on the same press.

Can You Number and Perforate Each Ticket

Yes. 4OVER4 event tickets support sequential numbering in black ink, so every ticket prints a unique running number, plus optional tear-off perforation for a stub and optional bundling of the finished run.

Turn on sequential numbering and each ticket carries its own number in black ink, so you can track admissions, run a raffle, or reconcile a headcount at the end of the night. Add perforation and the ticket tears cleanly into a stub and a keeper, one half for the gate and one for the guest. Leave both off and you get a clean, solid card, and you can have the finished tickets bundled for easier counting at the door. Our guide to custom raffle tickets walks through numbering a drawing.

What Paper Stock Should You Choose

4OVER4 prints event tickets on 15 stocks: gloss covers in 14pt and 16pt, uncoated covers from 13pt to 18pt including cream and recycled PCW, 14pt and 18pt white linen, four metallic pearl finishes, and a 15pt synthetic plastic. The default is 14pt Gloss Cover.

The default 14pt Gloss Cover keeps colors bright and the price low. Step up to 16pt gloss or an 18pt uncoated cover for more heft, or pick a recycled 13pt or 30% PCW uncoated when sustainability matters. For a premium event, 14pt and 18pt white linen add a woven texture, and the metallic pearl stocks in ice, champagne, silver, and gold shimmer without the cost of foil. For an outdoor or multi-day event, the 15pt synthetic plastic resists water and tearing, so a ticket survives a pocket and a rainstorm.

The chart below lists all 15 stocks and the ink options, the same choices the price calculator offers.

How Do Event Tickets Compare to Other Event Print

An organizer may also need a square ticket, badges for staff or a flyer to promote the night. The chart below lines up event tickets against their closest siblings, the Square Event Tickets, Event Badges, and Event Flyers, so you can compare the starting price on each before you choose.

How Fast Can You Get Event Tickets

4OVER4 prints event tickets on five speeds: a standard 5 business days, plus 4-day, 3-day, 2-day, and next-day rush, with a free online proof available before production.

Standard production is 5 business days, which keeps the price lowest when your event is weeks out. When the date is close, move up to 4, 3, or 2 days, or next-day production for the tightest deadline. Each step buys back time for a set rate on top of the base price, so you only pay for speed when you need it. Want to check the art first? Choose a free online proof and approve the file before it goes to press, or send it straight to production if you are sure.

What Do People Use Event Tickets For

Concerts and theater nights use numbered tickets for assigned seating and door counts. Fundraisers and galas hand them out as proof of a donation, often with a perforated stub for a door prize. Raffles lean entirely on the sequential number, one half in the drum and one in a pocket. Festivals and multi-day events reach for the synthetic plastic so a ticket survives the weekend, and staff at the same event often wear Event Badges to match. Church suppers and school dances use the plain 14pt gloss with a stub.

Event Tickets: Frequently Asked Questions

Can the tickets be numbered so I can track how many were sold?

Yes. Sequential Numbering prints a running number in black ink, and you choose both the Numbering Location on the ticket and the Starting Number. That is what turns a stack of paper into something you can count at the door.

Do event tickets come with a tear-off stub?

Perforation is an option, and it is what creates the stub. The gate keeps one half and the guest keeps the other, which is also why the numbering position matters when you lay out the artwork.

What is the minimum order and the starting price?

Fifty tickets from $25.27, about $0.51 a ticket. The per-ticket price keeps dropping as the run climbs to 5,000.

What size are the tickets?

Event tickets print at a fixed 2 by 5.5 inches. That size leaves room for the event details on one end and a numbered stub on the other.

Which stocks can I choose?

There are 15: 14pt and 16pt gloss, 13pt through 18pt uncoated, cream and recycled PCW, white linen, four metallic pearl finishes, and a waterproof synthetic plastic. The plastic stock is the one to pick for an outdoor festival or a poolside event.

How fast can tickets be printed?

The standard turnaround is 5 business days, with 4 day, 3 day, 2 day and next day rush speeds. Tickets can also be bundled in stacks of a count you set, which makes distributing them to sellers easier.
