Sociafi Media events website with online ticketing, redesigned by Digitorium
Case study · Events and awards · International

World class events. Tickets

An event website with online ticketing for Sociafi Media. Events portfolio, public galleries, automated attendee emails and a payment gateway that takes the money at the moment of decision.

The scale it had to carry

Four cities, hundreds of seats, one checkout

150 to 250

Attendees at each event

4

Cities: Kuala Lumpur, Pattaya, New Delhi, Mumbai

3

Pass tiers: Conference, Business Access, Executive

24/7

Ticket sales, with nobody on the other end

Events include the Global Rising Star Awards, business networking summits and Asia Africa investment forums.

The problem

The site could not keep up with the events.

Sociafi Media runs serious events. Awards nights, business networking summits and Asia Africa investment forums across Kuala Lumpur, Pattaya, New Delhi and Mumbai.

Someone who heard about an upcoming event had nowhere to check the date, the venue or the pass options. Someone deciding whether to attend could not see photos from the last one, which for an awards and networking event is the most persuasive thing you can show.

And every ticket was sold by hand. A conversation, a payment link, a confirmation, repeated for each attendee. For an events company that manual layer is a hard limit on how many events you can run in a year.

What we built

An event website with online ticketing, end to end

Events portfolio with a toggle

Past and upcoming in one place. Each card carries the date, the city, the attendee count and a link to its gallery.

Galleries left public

The previous event does the selling for the next one. That is the whole argument for attending, so we made it browsable.

A news room

Press coverage and announcements, filterable by category, so credibility keeps building between events.

Automated email updates

Subscribers hear about a new event the moment it is announced, not when someone remembers to send a mailer.

Online ticketing with tiers

Conference, Business Access and Executive passes, each with its own inclusions and an integrated payment gateway.

The outcome

Now they buy while they are still excited.

Someone can now discover an event, look through photos of the last one, compare pass tiers and pay in a single sitting, with nobody from Sociafi involved.

Announcements reach the list automatically. The event archive keeps working as a sales asset long after the night is over.

Questions people ask

Event websites and ticketing

Can you add online ticketing to an existing website?

Usually yes. We add the pass tiers, the checkout and the payment gateway, and connect them to the event pages you already have.

Which payment gateway do you use for event tickets?

It depends on where you collect money and in which currency. We set up the gateway that clears fastest for your account and keep the checkout on your own site.

Can attendees get automatic emails about new events?

Yes. Subscribers are added from the site and the announcement goes out on publish, so a new event reaches the list without anyone drafting a mailer.

Your turn

How many events can you run before the admin stops you?
