Purplepass is the way to go!

We have eliminated​ ticket fraud with the Purplepass scanners.

PROS

We've worked with Purplepass the past 5 years, and Purplepass is by far the best ticket company in the United States to deal with: The customer service level is awesome. Easy to use event set up with custom ticket printing for the event. Day of the event software is easy to use & you have your funds for the event on within​ a few days.

CONS

We have had no problems with the software, ​once we learned how to work it properly​ .

Purple Pass

PROS

The customer service has been so great! I like the fact that I have been able to talk to the same rep every time and call them directly. It makes for such an easier time to problem solve for get all of my questions answered.

CONS

I wish I would be able to pull more detailed reports for the clients. Especially from a marketing standpoint, I noticed a lot of people view the website from purple pass the most. Especially over facebook, instagram, and client advertisements. If I were able to pull the report that is shown on purple pass I would be able to upset the marketing packages you offer to our clients.

Reasons for switching to Purplepass Ticketing

Their software is SO confusing. Too man options make it difficult to learn. They are also more expensive and did not carry the same customer service.

UB Graduation Ceremonies

Overall experience is ok. I am very happy that my PurplePass rep, Gabriel, was very accommodating and helpful throughout the ticketing process

PROS

Monitored how many students and their guests were interested in attending graduation

CONS

Not able to make "promo code" or "coupon code" read to "Student ID" for our graduation ceremonies. We should be able to make our code name specific to our event. Wish we could control the process in which students would try to use their friends ID's to obtain tickets. Some students may have ordered only 2 of the 4 tickets given, but later needed another ticket. That student should be able to come back to the site and obtain the remaining tickets.

Reason for choosing Purplepass Ticketing

Easy to set up the event in the beginning stages

Vendor Response

Thanks for your feedback! I've looked into this for you and it sees the heart of the problem was students were trying to use other student's IDs to get more graduation tickets. In this case, the solution is to simply use something other than the student IDs to authenticate the students. This could be email addresses, phone numbers, mailing addresses, or combinations like student ID + Zip code. There are many solutions for mischevious students. I will make a note on your account and for next year, we will work with you to come up with a more robust authentication ID that other students can't try to game.

PurplePass Positives!

My overall experience has been excellent with PurplePass. Their technical support is top notch and very reachable. They even operate outside their regular business hours.

PROS

I like the fact that it's a simple platform to use for my box office staff and for our patrons. The platform is user friendly and even those patrons who are not as tech savvy can navigate it with ease.

CONS

I'd like for us to be able to print names on tickets at will-call for those patrons that choose the option of having their tickets picked up at will call.

Reason for choosing Purplepass Ticketing

Familiarity with the product.

Provides everything we need for large festival management and ticketing

PurplePass works hard to ensure their product is successful and competitive. They are constantly seeking to improve software in ways that other ticketing companies overlook.

PROS

The team at PurplePass worked directly with producers to customize a solution that worked for our unique ticketing needs. Purplepass offered more flexibility than the other large ticketing companies. Their management paid close attention to the critical days of our release to ensure there were no problems. When we informed them of challenges they were quick to come up with solutions that worked!

CONS

We had complicated features of a multi-day event. Purplepass's solution was to create 2 events (one for each day) It would be nice if a better solution could be offered for this scenario so we didn't have 2 events to manage and data could be combined.

Reason for choosing Purplepass Ticketing

Purplepass was able to provide what we needed. This allowed us to focus on our business - not on technology to sell our product/service.

Reasons for switching to Purplepass Ticketing

Competitors customer service was lacking. Once we started creating revenue for them we were soon forgotten.

Great for Small Organizations

PROS

Very user friendly, easy for anyone to scan tickets and there is less hassle with ticket taking

CONS

The app is still very basic, but I know it will get better with newer updates

Reasons for switching to Purplepass Ticketing

Affordability and quality of products we received.

Vendor Response

Hi Jennifer, Thanks for your feedback. I wanted to respond about the common about the app still being very basic. Perhaps you are using an older version. Our latest Purplepass Pro is extremely robust allowing full ticket scanning and POS services. For ticket scanning, it allows offline operation, pro-gear attachments via Linea Pros, manual lookup, group checkin, filtered scanning, continuous scanning operation (e.g. Kiosk Mode), real-time sync across all devices which allows concurrent online sales during events, test mode, check-out mode (to allow guest to exit and renter with their ticket later), etc... For POS, it's even more robust: Full box office terminal for the box office to access credit, cash, COMP, multi-event checkout, assigned seating, wireless receipt printing, wireless Boca ticket printing, automatic cash drawers, cash drawer management, emailed receipts, support for checkout questions, coupon codes, on the fly discounts, and so on. Pretty intense :)

Purplepass serves us well.

Our overall experience with Purplepass has been very positive - from the initial call to their sales team, to initial Event setup - including them creating our seat map, to Event configuration and testing, go-live and pre-event sales support, and then day-of-event support. They have been responsive and spot-on with their recommendations. They've shipped scanners and printers to our location on-time and things have worked well. We've just finished our second year with Purplepass and we're very happy.

PROS

We like Purplepass because it gives us the flexibility to manage ticketing for an annual event in a SAAS model. The robust features, easy-to-use interfaces, fantastic support, and reasonable pricing combine to make this an easy decision.

CONS

I would like to see better support for HTML / text formatting in some of the custom text blocks - which is really a minor (yet easy to solve) issue. Otherwise, we are hard-pressed to find what we "like least".

Reasons for switching to Purplepass Ticketing

We wanted to make the move to an online service, rather than continue managing a self-hosted site/ticketing system.

We are so glad to have found Purplepass Ticketing!

We were overall very pleased with our experience and will continue to use and recommend them.

PROS

Flexible and super easy to set up the event, edit details as necessary, create discount codes, print beautifuly color tickets. Customer service is friendly and reliable; I did not receive a single complaint from any of the ticket-buyers!!! And the company even offers the option of phone support for some elderly customers who are not tech-savvy. Also quick payouts with digital checks.

CONS

We are using the beta version of the software and are able to try all the new offerings as they are released- but there have been occasional glitches. Our PurplePass rep, [SENSITIVE CONTENT] has been incredibly responsive, figuring out solutions and sharing our issues with the development team. Honestly, no complaints.

Reasons for switching to Purplepass Ticketing

There is absolutely no human contact with anyone at Eventbrite. When events were cancelled due to the pandemic, it was so complicated to allow people to donate tickets rather than get an automatic refund.

PurplePass

PurplePass Ticketing has helped in taking my company from what I would consider my "dark ages" when I was comfortable with physical face to face deliverables to online sales of which I was super skeptical about. My company has grown leaps and bounds by taking advantage of the tools & guidance PurplePass has given us. I don't know how I would manage my business without them!

PROS

The "user friendly" aspect was and is a game changer for us.

CONS

I do not have any cons as of now as everything has either met or overdelivered in our expectations.

Purplepass works great every time!

Works great for me and my company, so it’s my go too ticketing site.

PROS

It’s easy to use, easy to set up and everything works well.

CONS

The only thing I have trouble with is to fit my flyer design to the background, if it could adjust to the size uploaded that would be easier.

Reason for choosing Purplepass Ticketing

The software was easy to use and intuitive. Customer service was exemplary!

Easy to use, functionality, competitive price, friendly and responsive reps.

PROS

Flexible and easy to use software and hardware. All inclusive package options at price points we can pick. Customer service was reliable and we always had all our questions answered - if an answer was unavailable then our rep made sure to find a solution we could work with. Inexpensive and extremely competitive. We have used other software from competing vendors and honestly would recommend PurplePass before recommending other software. Lots of great programming options based on our individual needs and not so overly complicated that we need an IT degree to manipulate the software - that is the bonus! Our rep, Gabriel, was great to work with and responsive to our sometimes wacky questions.

CONS

We really liked the software as it is very competitive to other programs available on the market. The only two drawbacks we found include integration onto websites - it doesn't allow the user to stay on the website - it kept forwarding to PurplePass url. Perhaps this is due to our website software - WIX- but that was slightly annoying for our users. The other drawback is really more of a suggestion - while the software is easy to use and the search functions are great - there was not enough promotions by PurplePass for the events listed. It would be great to have a calendar of upcoming events promoted through social media or on the site itself - we found we had to "search" for our event and thought it would be a better selling point for PurplePass to offer "promotions" on the site and suggested events. Target market on social media for example.

Vendor Response

Hi, Thanks for your great feedback! It's very much appreciated :) Regarding your concern about the integration, we offer a fully embedded ticket widget which allows the customer to purchase directly on your website without ever having to be redirected off of your site. Wix is a bit challenging in that they are VERY strict with outside code. They allow it but they encapsulate it within an iFrame. We do have a "High Compatibility" version of our widget which is designed to address this exact issue. For your next event, we will be sure to work with you on embedding the proper widget code so it works absolutely beautifully! - Purplepass

An Out-of-the-Box Solution with Outside the Norm Possibilities

We used to distribute event tickets in person. PP has negated what used to be a few dozen people working for at least one solid day into something one person primarily manages on her own. The first event we offered on PurplePass in Fall 2017 was cancelled due to a hurricane. If we wouldn't have had PP, it would have been a nightmare trying to refund everyone manually. Since we had PP, we simply clicked the button to cancel the event and refund everyone and it all happened automatically! [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and the team at PP have been awesome to work with!

PROS

PurplePass has done a great job of listening to our unique needs and creating new features that enabled us to use this cloud software where other options have fallen short. They have a robust way of handling coupon codes (which we use extensively) and the plug-and-play widgets make life easy for our web design team and end customers. The software is adaptable to sell event tickets, T-shirts, or nearly anything else you want to sell.

CONS

We would love for the software to support unique display words for coupon codes. For instance, if someone types in "FreeTee", it could display "Buy one T-shirt, Get one Free!" instead to the customer.

PROS

I use this software daily. We have a concert once a week and approximately 34 concerts per year our residents use this Platform and they’re all or most of them are over 55 we have gone directly to the system so everything is online we don’t have a box office so it’s all online and it’s working very well for our community. Thank you very much purple Pass.l

CONS

I don’t like when you open up a concert or an event and you’re editing the event and it changes the ticket sale date to the date that you open up the event.

Reason for choosing Purplepass Ticketing

Ease of use intuitive.

Vendor Response

Hi Karen, Thanks for your wonderful review! I just wanted to let you know that we actually updated the way the online sale times change when you modify the date/time of the event. It is now much more refined and helpful in trying to save you time. Please feel free to reach out to us with any questions if you may have.

Great Product

We are a small community theater and our initial ticketing platform was hosted on our own server. It worked fine at the beginning, but we started having many problems with it and it couldn't handle our ticketing load. So we started researching alternative ticketing solutions to implement. We tested around 10 different systems to determine what would work best for us. In the end, we chose Purplepass. Purplepass had the most features, was the easiest to implement, and was the lowest cost to operate. Whenever we had questions, Purplepass was always quick to respond and help us get the support we needed. We have been very happy using Purplepass. It has allowed us to increase our online sales and is the #1 way our customers purchase our tickets after only one season. We would highly recommend Purplepass to any organization, big or small, that is looking for a ticketing service.

PROS

Ease of use and cost. Good support. Lot's of options.

CONS

We had a few minor issues when we first started using it, but we were able to resolve them through support from PurplePass.
