Event & Raffle Ticket Printing — 2x5.5 in | 16PT UV Coated | 100–2,500
Custom event and raffle tickets on 16PT cover stock with UV coating, in the standard 2" x 5.5" admission ticket format. Print full-color on the front only (4/0) or full color on both sides (4/4). Order from 100 to 2,500 tickets with a 5-7 business day turnaround. Used for fundraisers, concerts, sporting events, festivals, galas, and any ticketed entry that needs a professional printed stub.
UV coating on 16PT cover gives each ticket a glossy, rigid feel that holds up to handling and tear-off at the door. The 2" x 5.5" size fits standard ticket holders and lanyards and allows room for event name, date, seating, barcode, or sequential numbering in the artwork.
Why Printed Event Tickets Work
- 16PT cover stock — thick, rigid card stock that does not crease, bend, or tear in pockets and bags; feels premium at point of entry and holds up through repeated handling before the event
- UV coating (front or both sides) — high-gloss UV finish protects printing from scratching and moisture; gives event and raffle tickets a polished, professional surface that photographs well
- Standard 2" x 5.5" format — the industry-standard admission ticket size; fits ticket holders, lanyards, and most point-of-sale ticket scanners; allows room for barcodes, tear-off stubs, and sequential numbering
- 4/0 or 4/4 printing — front-only for simple single-sided designs; both-sides for tickets with sponsor logos, event maps, or seating charts on the reverse
- From 100 tickets — low minimum makes short print runs viable for small events, fundraisers, and raffles where you need a few hundred tickets without committing to a large run
- Raffle and fundraiser ready — thick stock and full-color printing support branded raffle ticket designs with tear-off stubs, prize descriptions, and sequential numbering in your artwork file

Frequently Asked Questions
What size are printed event tickets?
Event tickets are printed at 2" x 5.5" — the standard admission ticket size used for concerts, galas, sporting events, and fundraisers. The format fits ticket holders and lanyards and provides enough room for event name, date, seat number, barcode, or tear-off stub in the design.
What is the difference between UV coated front only and both sides?
UV coated front only applies the high-gloss protective finish to the printed face of the ticket only, leaving the reverse uncoated. UV coated both sides coats the front and back, which is recommended when printing on both sides (4/4) — for example, tickets with sponsor information or event details on the reverse. Both options use 16PT cover stock.
Can I use these for raffle tickets?
Yes. The 2" x 5.5" format and 16PT cover stock work well for raffle tickets. You can design in tear-off stubs, prize descriptions, sequential numbering, and contact information. Print front only (4/0) for cost efficiency or both sides (4/4) for fuller designs. Start from 100 tickets — ideal for small fundraisers that do not need a large run.
What paper stock are event tickets printed on?
Event tickets are printed on 16PT cover stock — a thick, rigid card stock that feels premium and resists bending and creasing in pockets and bags. The UV coating adds a high-gloss protective finish that guards against scratching and moisture during the event.
What is the minimum order for event ticket printing?
The minimum order is 100 tickets, scaling up to 2,500. The low minimum makes it practical for small events, school functions, and fundraisers where you need a modest run. Production turnaround is 5-7 business days before shipping.
