Ticket scalping is more than just a nuisance, it’s costing your event both revenue and trust. Imagine having the power to block fraudulent buyers, ensuring your genuine fans get the tickets they deserve. That’s exactly what our new User Blocklist feature does.
The growing problem of Ticket Scalping
If you’ve organized an event, you know the frustration all too well. Scalpers swoop in, buy tickets in bulk using fake email addresses and multiple devices, and then resell those tickets at sky-high prices. This creates an unfair buying experience, blocks genuine attendees from accessing tickets, and tarnishes the reputation of your event.
Your attendees miss out, you lose control over pricing, and, ultimately, the entire experience feels tainted. But what if you could stop scalpers before they even have a chance to disrupt your event?
How to stop Ticket Scalping?
We listened to event presenters like you. The message was clear: You need more control over who buys your tickets. Thus, we introduced the User Blocklist Feature: your new secret weapon against ticket scalping and fraudulent behavior.
With this feature, you can block problematic users using two powerful methods:
Email Blocking
If a buyer uses multiple email addresses to hoard tickets, you can flag and block them instantly.
IP Address Blocking
For those who try to cheat the system with multiple devices or fake identities, block them by their IP address, stopping them in their tracks.
Why Blocklist feature will transform your event management
Scalping doesn’t just hurt your revenue—it diminishes the customer experience. Our new feature flips the script. With the ability to block users based on email or IP address, you gain the upper hand, ensuring that tickets land in the hands of real fans, not opportunists looking for a quick profit.
