WeGotDonations As Ticket Agency Makes Giving Easy

Ticketing agency WeGotTickets today announced the addition of a donation module to their service. This unique feature allows customers buying tickets to make a contribution to a selected charity at the time of purchase.The donation module has been trialled over the past few months with tickets on sale for events at both the Union Chapel and The Vortex Jazz Club in London, raising substantial sums for the venues. Now ready to be rolled out across the service the first major charity event to benefit from the feature will be Oxjam, who WeGotTickets have been the official ticketing partner for since September 2008.A music festival with a difference, Oxjam encourages people from all walks of life to stage concerts and events in pubs, clubs and front rooms up and down the land to raise money for Oxfam.This year’s festival concludes in March and for the last two weeks of the month the donation module will be added to every single event on sale (over 3000) via WeGotTickets, excluding those already using the module, allowing customers to make an easy, additional contribution to the charity.Said Benny Littlejohn, Oxjam Manager at Oxfam “We are delighted to be the first recipients of this novel and hopefully fruitful approach to fundraising, this is just the kind of original idea we’ve come to expect from WeGotTickets as Oxjam’s official ticketing partner.”Said Drew Brammer, WeGotTicket’s Sales and Marketing Manager, "As an ethical and independent company we are passionate about supporting charities and their fundraising events in anyway we can. Since October we have been working with the Oxjam staff and volunteer Oxjammers to make this year’s events as successful as possible. Building the donations functionality into our site has provided a transparent, optional facility for our customers to donate money whilst booking tickets thereby raising both the profile and the funds raised by the charity.”Going forward, the donation module will be available to any promoter who would like a charity to benefit from any of the events they have on sale via WeGotTickets.  This continues an established tradition of the company pioneering new developments - such as paperless tickets and easy ticket reallocation - within the ticketing industry.www.wegottickets.com
