Stock, stub, numbers
Which ticket setup fits your event?
Every ticket is 2 x 5.5 inches, and the rest is yours to set. You choose the stock, the ink coverage, the finishing, and the quantity that fits the night. Here are the setups customers reach for most, from a perforated stub for fast entry to sequential numbering for raffles and assigned seats.
Perforated Stub Tickets
A clean tear-off stub makes entry fast and gives guests a keepsake half to hold onto after the doors open.
Sequentially Numbered
Black-ink numbering turns each ticket into a raffle entry or an assigned seat, printed unique on every piece.
Full-Color Both Sides
Print 4/4 so the back can carry a venue map, sponsor logos, or a QR code that links to your event page.
Heavy Cover Stocks
14pt, 15pt recycled, and 16pt gloss cover give tickets a solid feel that lasts a night in a pocket.
By door
Match the ticket to the event
Picture the door: a line of 500 at a gala gate, a raffle at intermission, a map on the back for a festival. A perforated stub owns a busy gate, a numbered ticket runs a raffle, and a two-sided print carries a map or QR code.
Concerts and live shows
Full-colorBold, full-color square tickets build hype before the show and get kept as memorabilia long after the encore.
Galas and fundraisers

Galas to school plays
Who orders custom event tickets, and why
A charity auction's 500 perforated tickets and a music venue's monthly runs both appear in the reviews on this page, and the same ticket works from a black-tie gala to a school play. What they share is a door that needs to run smoothly and a guest who should feel the night was planned with care.
Nonprofit galas and fundraisers
Charities use numbered tickets with tear-off stubs for annual galas, silent auctions, and benefit dinners, where the stub doubles as a raffle entry.
Music venues and festivals
Local bands, indie venues, and festival promoters order in bulk. Bold designs build hype, and attendees keep the ticket as memorabilia.
Corporate events and conferences
Branded tickets for retreats, holiday parties, and conferences keep the look consistent across tickets, badges, and signage.
School events and theater
Plays, prom nights, and homecoming dances feel official with custom tickets, and parents get something tangible to keep.
Comedy nights and pop-up shows
A thick, well-printed ticket makes a small-room show feel like a real event and gives the door a clean way to track entry.
Wally gets you through the door
From blank stock to a ticket worth keeping
A great event ticket does the work before anyone says a word. Pick a heavy cover stock, add a perforated stub, number each ticket, and print both sides. Drop in your art or a free template, and let the proof confirm it before it prints.

Date, venue, seat
Design tips for event tickets that actually get noticed
A ticket is only as good as the design printed on it. Here is how to make yours count, from the critical info and color to resolution and the tear line on the stub.
Lead with the essentials
Event name, date, time, and venue have to read at a glance. Set the event name in bold type, keep supporting details a step smaller, and repeat the key info on both sides of the perforation.
Match the color to the mood
A black-tie gala wants dark backgrounds with gold or silver accents. A summer festival wants bright, saturated color. The palette should feel like a preview of the night itself.
Put the back to work
The back of a ticket is free real estate. Add sponsor logos, a venue map, parking notes, or a QR code that links to your event page. Two-sided printing is standard on 4OVER4 event tickets.
Small type needs 150 DPI at size
Supply artwork at 150 DPI or better at the real print size so small type and fine lines stay crisp. The 4OVER4 <a href="/benefit/online-designer">Online Designer</a> flags resolution problems before you order.
Plan the stub around your workflow
Decide what the stub needs to carry, a seat number, a drink token, or a raffle number, then design the tear line so the important details survive on both halves.

Numbering myths
What a numbered ticket run involves
Four myths, checked against the real ticket: 2 x 5.5 inch cover stock, black ink numbering, a perforated stub and a first run of 50.
Any printed slip works as an event ticket.
A flimsy home printout reads as an afterthought. A thick, full-color ticket sets the tone before the doors open and is harder to counterfeit.
Sequential numbering costs extra time you do not have.
Numbering is a standard black-ink option. Include your sequence in the file or order notes and each ticket prints unique with no extra design work.
Perforated stubs are just for looks.
A tear-off stub speeds up entry, works as a raffle or drink token, and leaves guests a keepsake half, all from one printed piece.

Paper or phone
Where a printed ticket beats a phone screen
The honest pros and cons, so you know exactly where a printed ticket shines and where it needs a plan before you commit to a run.
Numbered, torn and kept
- Perforated stubs speed up entry and give guests a keepsake half to hold onto
- Sequential numbering makes every ticket unique for seating, raffles, or tracking
- Full-color 4/4 printing turns the back into a venue map, QR code, or sponsor space
- Heavy 14pt to 16pt cover stocks feel hefty and hold up in a pocket all night
A fixed date on every piece
- Numbering and perforation add setup steps, so plan your file early
- A home printer is cheaper for a tiny guest list, though it never looks the part
- Variable data like unique numbers needs a clean sequence in your file or order notes
- Very small runs cost more per ticket than a bulk order of several thousand
Start with the event
Start with the event, then pick the ticket
The ticket should suit the night. A concert or festival wants bold, full-color square event tickets that build hype, a gala wants dark stock with metallic accents, and a fundraiser wants a numbered stub that doubles as a raffle entry. Match the format to the event first, and every later choice gets easier.
Decide how the ticket will be used at the door. A perforated tear-off stub speeds up entry and leaves a keepsake half, sequential numbering handles assigned seating or a fair prize draw, and two-sided printing puts a venue map or QR code on the back.

Stocks and finishing
Paper stocks and finishing techniques
The stock sets the first impression the moment a guest picks the ticket up. 4OVER4 event tickets print on 14pt gloss cover, 15pt cover with a gloss front on 30% recycled content, and 16pt gloss cover, so you can choose between an everyday weight and a weighty premium feel. Every option pulls straight from the live product configurator. For the full walkthrough of custom ticket printing, from file to perforation, read the guide.
Finishing is where a ticket earns its keep. Add perforation for a clean tear-off stub, sequential numbering in black ink for tracking and raffles, and 4/0, 4/1, or 4/4 ink so the back can carry sponsor logos, parking notes, or a QR code. A free online proof lets you confirm every detail before anything runs.
Design that reads
Design that gets the details right
A great ticket does three jobs. It communicates the essentials at a glance, it builds excitement, and it looks too good to throw away. Keep the event name, date, time, and venue readable, set the name in bold type, and repeat the key details on both sides of the perforation so the stub still makes sense once it is torn.
Build artwork at 150 DPI or better at the real print size so small type and fine lines stay crisp, and submit a high-resolution file with fonts outlined and images embedded. The Online Designer flags resolution problems as you build, and you can start from a ready-made event template if you would rather not design from scratch.
A ticket rarely travels alone. The same file discipline carries across your whole event kit, so it pairs naturally with printed banners for the stage, banner stand displays at the entrance, and bound booklet programs for the schedule. Grab matching event badges and event flyers, then browse the FAQ library before you order.

What is the minimum order quantity for event tickets?
Minimum quantities depend on the product configuration you choose. Check the pricing section above for the exact tier breakdowns. Even small runs are printed to the same quality standard as large orders.
Where is the cheapest place I can print?

Are perforated tear-off stubs available?
Yes. Perforated stubs are one of the most popular options for event tickets. They make entry management simple and give attendees a clean keepsake portion to hold onto.
Can I pair event tickets with other printed materials?
Definitely. Many customers pair tickets with larger format prints. See 4OVER4 banners for stage backdrops and directional signage, or explore 4OVER4 booklet printing for event programs and schedules. Matching the design across materials creates a cohesive look.
Do I need to create my own design, or are templates available?
