Case Study: Hal‑Con achieves seamless, scalable ticketing to manage record‑breaking growth with Ticketbud

How a Sci-Fi & Comic Convention Handled Unprecedented Growth

Hal‑Con, the largest sci‑fi, fantasy and comic convention in Atlantic Canada, is a volunteer‑run event that has seen steady, record growth. Organizers needed a reliable, scalable and affordable ticketing and registration system to handle increasing attendance and prevent last‑minute surprises on opening day.

They selected Ticketbud for its low cost, ease of use and responsive customer support. The platform — including a mobile app for on‑site ticket scanning — simplified setup and sped up registration, allowing Hal‑Con to manage growing crowds smoothly while maintaining a positive experience for attendees.
