Eskimo Jo Events have written and developed a robust and dedicated Online and Onsite Ticketing system to ensure that we can deliver a military precise and incredibly versatile ticketing service to our clients and their customers whilst facilitating and monitoring the absolute smooth running of our live events. Our Ticketing system has been written with the intention of servicing the requirements for a high footfall Christmas Experience event however it is fully flexible and can be manipulated for use at any event where a ticketed entrance is required.
