I am looking for online ticketing software for our community
playhouse. We have 84 seats and typically have 4-6 shows per season
plus a summer season. Each show has multiple performances typically
over three weeks. We do not have boxoffice software so no need for
an interface to such.
We sell tickets by reserved seats and want an online system that can
allow patrons to choose their seats. And we don't want to dedicate a
block of seats to online sales - all available seats should be
available for online sales as well as telephone sales through our box
office.
The big sticking point in our search for such a service is that we
sell a significant number of season tickets in advance of the season
and continue to sell telephone ordered tickets from patrons who do
not care to use the web. We do not feel that there should be any fee
to the online ticketing agency for seats we sell outside of the
online sales system. This has already ruled out several otherwise
capable vendors.
So far...
BrownPaperTickets.com has the lowest cost and meets our criteria
EXCEPT that patrons cannot choose their seats. The online system
chooses them automatically.
Tix.com seems to meet all the criteria.
Anyone have experience with Tix.com?
Anyone have experience with another vendor who would meet our
criteria?
thanks.
Bob
