At LIVE IT, we’re always looking for new ways to give event organisers smarter tools to manage ticketing and enhance the attendee experience. Our latest feature makes it possible to restrict access to certain events, products, or experiences so they can only be booked by people who have already purchased tickets for another event. This feature is available to all organisers and can be integrated into your event in collaboration with our team, who custom-build it to meet each client’s needs.
Imagine a festival where everyone buys a general admission ticket. With this new feature, organisers can then offer special add-ons that are only available to people who already hold a valid admission ticket. If someone hasn’t booked the main entry, they won’t be able to access these extras.
For organisers, this opens up exciting opportunities to maximise revenue and design better experiences. By reserving premium offers such as VIP events, exclusive meet-and-greets, workshops, or behind-the-scenes tours for confirmed ticket holders, you not only drive upsells but also build stronger loyalty and trust with your audience. This functionality can even support the creation of entirely separate events, accessible only to attendees who have purchased general admission. It could be a special access evening, an industry-only preview, or a private afterparty that feels exclusive yet is seamlessly managed within the same booking system. Attendees feel valued with tailored opportunities, while organisers can confidently package tiered experiences that add meaningful value and generate additional income without complicating the booking journey.
This functionality was recently put to great use by one of our clients, who used it to manage access to premium festival programming. They were delighted with how seamless it was, and it even caught the attention of other international festival organisers who inquired about the ticketing company behind the technology and emphasised how valuable and practical it is.
Why This Matters for Event & Festival Organisers
• Control & Security: Guarantee that premium sessions and special upgrades are available only to the intended attendees.
• Seamless Upselling: Give audiences the option to enhance their experience without the risk of selling upgrades to people without a base ticket.
• Better Customer Experience: Reduce confusion and disappointment at the gate by ensuring tickets are only sold to those eligible.
• Increased Revenue: Create premium, tiered experiences with confidence that access is managed automatically.
• Flexibility: Use it for festivals, venues, attractions, exhibition and more, wherever you want to offer layers of experience.
