Add complimentary popcorn or a drink to a specific event or ticket type, and issue a separate merchandise ticket for collection.
Restrictions
Set restrictions to prevent customers from being able to purchase more than 1 event in a group of events, no matter a specific pricetype or all price types.
Allocated seating
Our flexible allocated seating engine offers best available seating and specific seating selection for the smaller number of patrons that want that specific seat. Combine general admission areas into an allocated seating map, or set different price bands (A reserve, B reserve) as required. Build large venue maps over 3500 seats that are usable on small devices.

Data import
Imagine putting 1200 events on sale in a few minutes… if the data is ready to go, just upload our Google data spreadsheet and all events, prices, venues, attributes and other data are imported and ready to use.
Unlimited price types / prices
Create an unlimited number of prices and price types, including setting limits on available dates, cut off dates, total number of available tickets at that price or price type, and much more.

Generic attributes
Store generic attributes of your own creation against each event, and make these searchable in your system. For example a film might add attributes for Director, Producer, Genre or Cast. Live events might add attributes like Style, Day, Genre and Producer. Create whatever data is needed and allow browsing and filtering events by those tags.
Questions
Create an unlimited number of questions to collect additional data. Support different formats (text, number, email, password etc) and ask these questions at the event level, customer account level or during checkout.
Event level questions can be reported on the Door list for quick access to information.
Split ticketing

Create sections of capacity that apply to certain groups of price types. For example create a premium seating section that has adult and child price types, but a certain capacity across those price types.
Discounts
During the on-sale period, promotional codes can be used as a marketing tool to accelerate sales or to offer a certain group of customers or partners a reduced rate (e.g. venue staff, volunteers, sponsors, etc.).
Discount codes can be limited to a maximum number of uses and/or for a certain date timeframe. It is not possible to limit who uses the code as it can be shared.
Voting
Events can be voted for to create audience awards. Each ticket has a unique voting code that allows a vote out of 10 stars. Voting reports aggregate data and report weighted audience results.

All of the ticketing system styles can be changed or overridden to create custom looks by a developer competent with CSS. All of the text content in the system can be edited if desired, including errors messages. Specific receipt content can be appended when customers buy a certain product.
