presale sign up pages (H2 2024)
A sign-up experience that helps limit traffic into artist presales. Fans register early to show they’d like to join the presale and can select up to a set number of shows, so no single person can try to get tickets to every date.
Why
Tickets are always a highly sought-after commodity. In the past, the site has been overwhelmed by people and bots trying to scoop up tickets. This sign-up limits overall traffic to put fans ahead of bots, and it gives the artist and the business a sense of demand for the upcoming presale or onsale based on how many people sign up. It also helps engineering teams prepare for the traffic influx.
How we did it
We created a dedicated page where fans pick the events they’re interested in. Since most fans don’t try to attend every show, we capped each account at a maximum number of selections. How it works is simple: select the events you’d like tickets for, sign in to your Ticketmaster account, then get notified on presale day and join the queue.
My role
Primary product design working on details of the experience and determining the easiest path for a fan to complete this task. Collaborating with engineering and product partners to solidify details on how a fan will easily understand this experience, while also improving the experience on the backend. So when it comes to clients creating these pages, it’s an easy to follow creation process.
