EVENT TICKETING SOLUTION

Elite Hotels

Elite Hotels is a prestigious collection of three luxury hotels in the south of England, renowned for their historic charm, elegance, and exceptional service.

Each property hosts a diverse array of events throughout the year, from murder mystery dinners and operatic performances to garden tours and craft workshops, offering guests rich and engaging experiences.

However, managing and selling tickets for events was not without its challenges.

To help overcome these, Elite Hotels sought a more effective solution—one that would enhance event promotion, simplify ticket sales, improve internal efficiency, and unlock their event selling potential. And that’s where we came in.

The trials of ticketing! 

 

SK Chase has worked with Elite Hotels, (The Grand Hotel Eastbourne, Ashdown Park, and Tylney Hall), since 2008 as their gift voucher partner.

We love working with this group and truly value the relationship that has developed over the years.

During conversions with key members of Elite, it emerged that they faced many challenges when it came to managing events taking place in their venues, including:

  • Staff were spending large amounts of time taking event bookings, and there was a considerable amount of admin associated with it, open to human error.
  • Tickets could not be purchased ‘out of hours’ leading to buyer frustration and a potential loss in sales.
  • There was little brand consistency on the ‘ticket’.
  • No integration for direct ticket sales with their website or other marketing platforms.
  • Tracking sales was cumbersome.

 

A trusted ticketing solution

 

SK Chase are delighted to provide Elite Hotels House with a complete ticketing solution including:

 

  • Fully branded ticket e-commerce sites, giving their customers a seamless experience, with a fully compliant secure checkout.
  • Able to include direct ‘call to actions’ on their website and other marketing platforms that links directly to their ticket site.
  • Cloud based ticket management system offering a user friendly and efficient solution, saving time and effort.
  • Visibility on tickets sold and revenue.
  • Branded e-tickets and receipts with instant delivery.

30% Boost to sales!

 

By creating and promoting ticket sites, in addition to their successful gift voucher sites, Elite Hotels boosted their sales revenue by over 30% from the months of April through to October 2024.

We’ve been using SK Chase’s ticketing platform for over 18 months and have been delighted with the results. As a group of 3 hotels, we host over 50 events per year.

Our main motivator was to find a solution that improved our internal efficiency (in taking event bookings) and enabled our guests to purchase tickets ‘out of hours’, with the ultimate aim of improving sales. From a digital marketing perspective, the ability to include a direct CTA in our communication has undoubtedly improved early uptake of these events.

Having worked with SK Chase for many years, we were confident in the support they’d provide around this new feature – and we haven’t been disappointed.
