As soon as sales go live, thousands of people are ready to grab a ticket. And at that exact moment, as an organizer you want one thing: a platform that just works.
At SimpleTicket we understand that better than anyone. That’s why we built our platform entirely around scalability, speed and reliability. So you can focus on your event, not on panic behind the scenes.
Fully automatic scaling up and down
Whether you’re organizing an intimate concert or a festival that draws many thousands of people, our platform grows with you automatically. The entire infrastructure is hosted on AWS (Amazon Web Services) within Europe and scales up lightning fast when things get busy. No manual work, no stress. It all happens automatically.
At peak moments we can scale up to thousands of servers at once, so our systems can handle many thousands of visitors. And as soon as things calm down, we neatly scale back down. Smart, and it saves costs too.
Fair chances with our smart queue
For events where demand is much higher than supply (think popular artists, events or exclusive editions), we developed a smart solution: a virtual queue that we built in-house.
This queue lets visitors through in stages, based on the platform’s current capacity. That prevents overload and gives everyone a fair chance to buy a ticket. No crashed sites, no double orders, no hassle. Just a smooth, controlled sale. Tickets almost sold out? Then the queue automatically slows down or stops letting people through for a while. That lasts until enough tickets are available again, or until you’re completely sold out. In that case the queue stops and tells the people waiting.
Under the hood? It’s all about performance
For the tech fans: the platform runs entirely on the highly scalable infrastructure of AWS (Amazon Web Services), within Europe. Web servers, database and caching all scale automatically with the number of visitors. So the ticket shop stays fast, even when thousands of people check out at the same time, without delays or bottlenecks.
But as an organizer, you don’t need to arrange any of that. All you notice is that everything runs smoothly. And that’s what counts.
In short: you’re in good hands
Whether you expect 500 visitors or 50,000: SimpleTicket is built to make your ticket sales run flawlessly. Peak load? No problem. Last-minute hype? It can handle it. Trust our platform and we’ll make sure it just works.
