Event Tix has been doing ticketing either as Event Tix or Secure Transactions Network for about 20 years now! We also do campground reservations.


Why should we use you over any other ticketing company?

Event Tix system is as good or better than ANY system available in the industry! And your customers remain your customers! We're not out to overcharge you or your customers. Our charges are the lowest in the industry! We don't touch your money, and we don't tell you how much to charge for a convenience fee! (We can make recommendations)


Why are your rates so much lower and what's the catch?

We can charge less than any of the other companies because we don't have the overhead of all the other companies! And there is no catch.
