Free Online Event
Calling all festival organisers, creators and promoters — it’s time to rebuild our industry, take back ownership and futureproof your festival business.
Watch our biggest ever event!
THE SHOWCASE
We researched, we listened, we learnt, we built and now… we’re sharing. We’ve put together a showcase that looks forward and reimagines the way we sell festivals — a toolkit that empowers creators of all sizes to take back control and increase revenue.
One platform to sell and manage everything in one place
From ticketing and packages to accommodation, transportation and add-ons, learn how you can sell and manage your festival experience in one place. With Easol’s all-in-one toolkit, you can improve operational efficiency and, more importantly, increase average basket value and revenue streams.
Build customised, branded booking journeys
Build anything you want on Easol with ease — it’s like your very own ticketing platform! No more generic booking journeys that take customers off your website. Discover how you can create your own booking journey — on your own website with your branding — specially tailored to your festival experience. It won’t just help grow your brand, it’ll also make for a better user experience and help differentiate your festival.
Own your customer data to supercharge growth
Taking back ownership of your customer data is critical to future proofing your festival business. Learn how moving the whole customer journey to your own domain allows you to see a single, 360º view of your customers, optimise marketing campaigns, retarget more efficiently, save on advertising spend and more.
THE REBIRTH OF THE FESTIVAL INDUSTRY
We’re re-emerging from the most monumental shock our industry has ever experienced. We need to put control back into the hands of the very people that make this work — the festival creators and organisers. It’s time to rethink the way we sell festivals.

How much does it cost? Is there a set-up fee?
We have two pricing plans, with monthly or annual subscriptions, structured to best meet you where you're at. There are no set-up fees for all plans, and each plan is designed to help you grow your business so that you're in full control of your own sales and revenue. Learn more about Easol's payment plans on our pricing page.

Who takes care of customer service?
You take ownership of your customer service on Easol. While we offer support to help you get set up, launch and grow on the platform, we believe an in-house team with deep knowledge of your experience will provide better customer service for your ticket-holders than a third-party.
