we introduce our mobile ticket shop today!
Simple, fast, on the go: mobile ticket shop
amiando, in response to the current mobile trend, launched its first mobile ticket shop today, which will have enormous advantages for both organisers and ticket buyers. From now on, organisers will have the possibility to offer tickets to their current and future events through an additional channel. The simplified purchasing process has led to an improved conversion rate; organisers are able to sell more tickets. Customers are as of now able to conveniently purchase and save their tickets on their mobile devices through the mobile-optimised display of the ticket shop. With digital tickets as an additional service, amiando is making a simplified and comfortable entry management system possible.
“The purchase of tickets in the mobile ticket shop is an absolute key issue for the future. We are proud to take on a leading role in this area with the start of our mobile ticket shop. If the organiser offers a mobile- optimised website, tickets can be sold via this relevant sales channel.” says Maik Wiege, the Product Manager.

Are you interested in organising Green Events?
Green events adopt environmentally friendly measures wherever it is possible. The main goal is to reduce their carbon footprint, which is the total set of greenhouse gas emissions caused by the particular event. There are multiple ways to make an event greener such as saving energy, recycling, paperless online event management systems and the minimization of carbon dioxide emissions for travelling delegates. amiando takes responsibility and supports this idea: It provides event professionals with an online registration system that minimizes the environmental impact that results from an event and its delegates.
amiando – Climate Neutral Event Participation – Easy and Transparent
amiando’s online event management software allows event organisers and delegates to be more environmentally-thoughtful. amiando offers the innovative service green ticketing in cooperation with the climate protection consultancy ClimatePartner. Not only is amiando’s online registration system completely paperless,amiando now allows delegates to buy CO2 certificates in order to compensate for their carbon dioxide emissions impact. With the integration of the ClimatePartner calculation, each participant´s travel to and from the event, the type of event, the duration of the event, as well as potential attendee accommodation will be accounted for.
Offset carbon dioxide impact
Attendee travel to and from an event accounts a large majority of the overall carbon dioxide footprint of an event. The attendees can compensate their CO2 impact by purchasing CO2 certificates when registering for an event. The price for each CO2 certificate depends on the individual attendee’s travel distance as well as the type and the length of the event. The compensation amount is used for example for reforestation projects. Organisers and sponsors can have a share in making event management greener by paying the total cost for compensating the event’s carbon dioxide footprint.

Nowadays, every attendee who is traveling to an event using different transportation options is causing carbon emissions.
