Tickets (Events)
Custom Ticket Printing
Numbered, perforated event tickets on card stock. Six sizes, rounded corners optional, from $11.77. Printed in North Dallas.
Perforation is what makes it a ticket
The single option on this page that changes the product is perforation. With it, the ticket tears into two parts: a stub the door keeps and a piece the guest keeps.
That is not decoration — it is how you count admissions, run a raffle, and stop one ticket being used twice. If your event has a door, a draw or a headcount that matters, perforate.
Without perforation you have an admission card. Perfectly reasonable for a small private event or a free community night where nobody is checking anything, and cheaper.
Six sizes
| 2" x 6" and 5.5" x 2" | Classic ticket proportions — long and narrow, the shape people recognize instantly as a ticket. |
|---|---|
| 2.75" x 5.5" and 2.75" x 8.5" | Deeper tickets with room for terms, a map, a sponsor or a full event schedule on the back. |
| 3.5" x 8.5" | The largest. For premium events where the ticket is a keepsake, or where it carries a program. |
A custom size is available. Remember the stub takes up part of the length once perforated.
Stock and finishing
Tickets live in pockets, wallets and hands. They need to be card, not paper, and the range here runs from 80 lb classic cardstock to 130 lb thick card.
Rounded corners are worth considering on anything premium. A square corner in a back pocket is a bent corner within an hour; rounded corners survive, and the ticket still looks intact when it comes out at the door. They also feel more expensive, which for a gala or a fundraiser is part of the job.
Finish: matte is uncoated, so it takes a pen — useful if names, tables or seat numbers get written on the day. Gloss and satin resist handling marks better. If the ticket will be written on, take matte and accept the handling.
What has to be on it
On the part the guest keeps: event name, date, time, venue address, and what the ticket admits (one person? two? includes dinner?). Doors-open time separately from start time, because they are not the same and people plan around the wrong one.
On the stub: the number, the event name and the date. Enough for it to mean something in a box at the end of the night.
Somewhere: whether it is refundable, whether it is transferable, and a contact. A ticket is the only document most guests will have from you before the event.

Questions we get asked
More than the venue capacity. You will want comps for sponsors, staff and volunteers, spares for mistakes at the door, and a few for the file. Running out of tickets mid-sale is a worse problem than printing a hundred extra.
Production is 1–2 or 3+ business days, and there is no same-day option on tickets. Order as soon as the date and venue are confirmed — tickets need to be in hand before you can start selling, so they sit at the front of the schedule, not the back.
Yes — general, VIP, staff, child. Each is a separate design, so tell us the tiers at the outset and we will keep them visually distinct enough to be told apart at a door in poor light.
Take a matte stock if so. Coated finishes resist pen and smudge, which is fine until somebody is writing on two hundred tickets the night before.
