For ticketed pole, drag and burlesque shows. No placegetters? No problem. We look after your audience instead, with an exclusive Shoe Me discount for everyone who buys a ticket.
✅ Who's eligible
Your show needs all of these:
- A ticketed pole, drag or burlesque show in Australia or New Zealand, open to the public
- A ticketing or event page where Shoe Me can be listed, and where you can add a message to ticket confirmations (Humanitix, Eventbrite and most platforms can)
- Shoe Me as the only footwear sponsor
- Not run or co-run by a business that sells pole footwear
- Your application reaches us at least 6 weeks before tickets go on sale
🎁 What you receive
- A $50 Shoe Me gift card for a raffle or door prize.
- An exclusive Shoe Me discount code for your ticket holders, valid from when tickets go on sale until 14 days after the show. You suggest the code and we set it up.
📣 What you provide
- Ticket confirmations: your Shoe Me code in the ticket confirmation message, as an exclusive discount for ticket holders.
- Pre-show email: a Shoe Me feature with your code in an email to ticket holders before the show. We'll send you the copy and images.
- Your event page: Shoe Me listed as a partner on your ticketing or event page, linked with the tracked link we send you.
- Social posts: one post before and one after the show tagging @shoeme. Please leave the code out of social posts.
- On the night: a mention of Shoe Me from your host, and our prize announced as from Shoe Me.
- Results: tickets sold and your email send date, within a week of the show.
Your gift card is sent once the code is in your ticket confirmations.
