PLEASE NOTE: Tkt It will be down for scheduled maintenance this coming Sunday, 28th September 2008 at 10am BST. We anticipate this should not last more than 2 hours (It’s a big change, sorry!).
We will be updating and rebranding the site as Stubmatic.com. Please see our previous post for more details.
We’re delight to reveal some big changes we have been working on. Firstly in addition to the recent site design changes we are relaunching as Stubmatic.com and ready to reveal our new branding. One thing that we have found over the last year is that not only has the name caused confusion it has also been difficult to memorise and tell people about. The new logo will fit staight into our newly designed look and feel. We will also be moving to a new URL
http://www.stubmatic.com
We have just rolled out some much requested features, such as the ability to customise your event details pages using our Rich Text editor allowing the addition of photos/images.
We have also reversed the listing of the events on your My Events page and also your My Sales page to match the order shown on your box office. Oldest events first..
If you have any comments, requests etc, please do not hesitate to contact us.
UPDATE (11/08/08 21:00)
We have added a facility to filter out older completed events, that completed more than 7 days ago. We had feedback from several users who found that with the new ordering, they had to scroll through several pages of events to find current events that had just completed. By default older events are now not shown on the My Events and My Sales pages. We have added an option above the data grid (see below) that when selected lists all events.
This morning we rolled out the latest update of Tkt It.com along with a shiny new design we now offer better payment / order tracking, timezone support, customisable box office and many bug fixes.
In addition, as stated previously, we have now enabled advertising on all our free (standard) accounts. These adverts are provided by our advertising partner ValueClick Media who are commited to providing relevant and high quality advertising from reputable partners.
However, we have also decided to increase the limits set on our free (standard) user acconts. From today, the number of tickets that can be sold for any event rises from 200 tickets to 500 tickets.
As we have added the feature to customise your box office page, we encourage users to review and edit this page to ensure it looks as they would like. You can view your box office by visiting http://www.tktit.com/myboxoffice/<username> i.e. http://www.tktit.com/myboxoffice/miletbaker and you can edit your box office page at: http://www.tktit.com/user/edit_profile
Also please ensure you set your timezone in your accounts page (http://www.tktit.com/user/edit).
We hope you enjoy using the new site. If you have any queries, comments or issues please contact us via our contact page at http://blog.tktit.com/contact.
On Tuesday 5th August 2008 at 6am we will be releasing a major upgrade to the Tkt It platfrom.
Along with a complete visual redesign we have made several fixes and improvements to the service including:
Customizable Box Office: We have now given you more control over how your box office looks allowing you to use our Rich Text Editor to customize text and link to external images.
Order Process: Fixes to the order process where by orders that were partially completed but not paid for within a certain time failed. As part of this fix, tickets are no longer allocated when a purchaser puts the tickets in their basket but when they pay.
Paypal Transaction tracking: The sales details for an order now shows a log of the payment history related to that order.
Timezone support: Events now complete at the correct local time to the user. Exisiting users please note: by default users are set to the UTC timezone, after the upgrade please go to your account and set your timezone. You will also need to edit any events created prior to the timezone change to the correct date time (as these would have been created in UTC time).
As part of the release we are also making hardware infrastructure changes.
We plan to ensure minimal downtime and anticipate full service to be restored by 9am GMT
We appologise for any inconvinience caused. If you have any queries or concerns, please contact support using our contact form.
Regards,
Tkt It Team
