On the 1st of July we released our commercial prospectus for 2018’s conference. The response has been fantastic and we are proud to announce that all stands in Hall 9 have been reserved.
We still have a Bronze Sponsorship available & some Exhibition stand opportunities in our new adjacent Hall 10. You can find information on those opportunities by clicking here
Early-bird pricing of just £149.99 is also now open and can be reserved, with invoice option by heading to the registration pages.
Ten days after the launch of registration for Ticketing Professionals 2018 and over half of the Super-Early Bird rate is already gone.
The Super-early bird price of just 149.99 +VAT for Primary ticketing venues and organisations has seen registrations from all corners of the UK, as well as Europe, the US, and Australia.
In addition to the desire for delegates to secure their places, all of our Gold and Silver sponsorships are now assigned to suppliers, subject to completion of the contractual elements of the process. We still have a couple Bronze sponsorships available. TPC2018 will see the return of some of our headline sponsors, as well as some new suppliers looking to gain exposure at the UK’s premier educationally led ticketing conference.
With limited delegate spaces at the super-early bird rate venues and organisations can confirm their places here with an invoice option available.
Delegates from commercial suppliers can take advantage of their own Super-early bird rate of just £249.99 + VAT
The results of the TPC2017 delegate survey are in! On top of the huge amounts of feedback we have collated on everything from hotels to wifi, coffee to sushi, we were delighted to see the response to your views on the education sessions.
Delegates were polled over speaker knowledge, content and delivery of sessions and relevance of topic.
The clear winner of the best female speaker was Angela Gahan of Antix Management from Sydney Australia, whose session ‘Selling the Last 2%‘ was much anticipated and greatly received.
Congratulations Angela, for the commitment to come round the World and for bringing such great thinking and subject matter to #TPC2017.

What can we say? We loved TPC2016, we had a blast at TPC2017, so why not TPC2018?
We are delighted to announce that Europe’s premier educationally led ticketing event will return in 2018.
The venue, backed by over 85% of TPC2017 delegates will be the International Conference Centre in Birmingham.
The two day format was the firm format – with over 65% asking for a two day conference format.
Further details to follow, especially around getting involved, helping shape the content and delivery of a great few days for us all to get together.
A HUGE thank you to all of your (148) that took time to feedback on TPC2017 in the delegate feedback questionnaire.
There is a large amount of data for us to process and help shape the structure and format of TPC2018.
Whereas we had huge amounts of praise, there were a number of themes which we will very much focus on amending or improving – not least wifi coverage.
Instead of trying to summarise all of the key findings in one post, we will look to release in more manageable and digestible blocks, and of course, TPC is an evolving event, so we would love to get your continued feedback on shaping YOUR conference.
The key results were are putting into action are venue and conference length / place in the week, look out for an announcement in the coming days on that.
Once again, thanks for you support and feedback folks.
Wow.
We are now officially SOLD OUT for #TPC2017 – thanks to all of those you have who have already secured your space for two great days of ticketing chatter.
If you missed out on a space, we are waiting for a few possible returns from a sponsor which may give us some extra capacity. If you want to come but have not yet registered, please drop a line to info@ticketingprofessionals.co.uk with your name, venue and contact details, if or when spaces become available we will get back in touch on a first come first served basis.
As we head into the final few weeks before TPC2017 – and as spaces fill – it’s superb that we have such a great range of organisations coming to Birmingham.
The number of countries represented is bigger than in 2016 – as more and more people head to the UK from around Europe and beyond for what promises to be 2 great days and 24 + sessions of ticketing and technological chatter.
Some registrants opt not to be included on listings, but here is a taste of some of the companies, venues and individuals that you can look forward to meeting up with in Birmingham.
