For big productions with numbered seating you need a traditional ticketing agency. For everything else you need Events Pronto.
There is no escaping the ticketing agency for performances in contracted venues or where people really want numbered seating, but the curtain spends down in the amateur theatre world than up, and you want to make the most of it.
With Events Pronto you create an event once and the details you enter flow through your online listing, any email invites you send from the site and even your tickets. Your subscription includes your own ‘what’s on page’ where people can see what’s on in your world, book, and pay (if you choose to offer credit card payments). Every booking you get online is one you don’t need to type into a spread-sheet. When you add your contacts into the site it can send e-invites for you. The names and contact details you add will not be shared or used to promote other people’s events.
Don’t worry if your people are not all web people. You can add phone bookings into the site for them. That way everything is in one place, you can see how many are coming at a glance and you can print attendee lists and name badges in a jiffy. No formatting or merging is required and details like dietary needs are included.
If you charge for these events, financial control will be super important to you and your accountant. With Events Pronto you control what payment options you offer – credit card, internet banking, cash or cheque. You also control your money. All funds collected go straight into your own account, never into ours. That means better cash-flow, lower fees and no third-party risk.
