Tixsa, in partnership with market-leading US based company TicketBiscuit,  unveiled a Facebook App that enables its clients to sell tickets directly from their Facebook Fan Page, without the buyer ever having to leave Facebook. The Tixsa Fan Page Ticketing App is the latest in a series of innovations introduced to South Africa by Tixsa to help clients leverage social media to sell more tickets.

“In 2008, we were one of the first ticketing companies to offer seamless Facebook integration, and now we’re setting the pace again, by offering this unique  feature exclusively through our South African partners Tixsa.  said TicketBiscuit Chief Marketing Officer Eric Housh. “Using Facebook for live event promotion is a necessity now. If you’re not doing it well, you’re not as successful as you could be,” he continues, “our new app has taken it a step further, transforming a client’s Facebook Fan Page from a marketing channel into an actual sales channel .”

 Tixsa Managing Director Michael Canfield adds “the Tixsa Facebook app is unique in that it links in real time to the client’s Tixsa account, meaning that ticket sales can be taking place simultaneously on Facebook, on the client’s website, via the Tixsa-provided mobile optimised smartphone interface, and via Tixsa’s web-based box office point-of-sale software, with all inventory managed centrally in real time.” The look and feel of the ticketing interface matches the clean look of Facebook. And in keeping with Tixsa’s core philosophy, the client’s brand stays out in front. “It takes the concept of white-labelling to a whole new level: now you can have a white-label ticketing solution seamlessly integrated into your Facebook Fan Page along with your other web properties.”

The Tixsa Fan Page Ticketing App can be added to any Facebook Fan Page with a couple of clicks. The only requirements are that you be an Admin of the Page and that you have a Tixsa account.  Opening a Tixsa account is easy.  Check out the URL below to see exactly what we’re talking about
