Increased membership, excellent online marketing, stronger messaging.

The members love the ease of renewals and management of their communication preferences.

I'm always impressed with the personal response I get from the SIlkStart support team. They are always-on-top of any issues arise, and they really work with you to make sure you are satisfied.

Hands down the worst experience, and I build websites for a living. We had gone with them for a membership site and I regretted my decision almost immediately.

So far, it's been a great tool for my job. It's easy to use, and pleasantly arranged.

Using Silkstart almost cost me my job when things did not work correctly, have lost customers due to the product not working as intended.

Very versatile options that are all included in one low price. We're very excited for the Chapters features.

The email tool is difficult. Overall, the package feels very late 90's.

We launched our site 5 months ago and we are so happy with the website. We are in the midst of registering for a big conference and the set up was easy for us to do.

With SilkStart, we were easily able to set up events, ticket pricing tiers and create and send messages to promote them. For my client, integration with their QuickBooks system was important.

Easy program helping you ut with management, I loved the mobile version of it.

The pricing is comparable to other more popular software solutions without the burden of a contract. The staff have been fantastic, and the transition was very smooth.

This software is fairly basic and makes life pretty easy for those in the office who need some simple things.

I am generally unhappy with the service overall.

If we do run into any snags, Silkstart’s topflight customer service is super responsive.

The Benefits of CRM and Great Website Integration in One Package.

It's very difficult to find something negative to say about SilkStart.

Customizing pages is very difficult and a challenge. Google Page Speed gives the site very low marks, especially on mobile.

Communications module still needs a lot of work. The templates are very glitchy, image library is difficult to use and cannot manage the images in any order.

I don't think we could do better for the money - and since we are willing to go for the ride with the company - we are grateful to be part of the push and pull that makes good software great.

We were in a tough situation with our old website a few years ago and the SilkStart team was able to transition our site quickly and successfully.

The system is really easy to use and the support provided has been great.

We love being able to see and communicate with all members across all chapters and the ability to have paper and online purchase processes available.

The editing capabilities of this software is brilliant, I loved that it was so intuitive to do things that even my most technologically challenged staff could figure it out.

Almost $5,000 USD in mandatory fees is double the annual cost of a site with them, and it was very unclear what we would get for it.

We have been very pleased with the services and support provided by SilkStart and highly recommend them to any organization looking for an effective member management software platform.

There are some shortcomings to the product but these headaches are alleviated by their great support staff.

Our organization is completely driven by volunteers, so the simplicity of SilkStart has been a huge help to our small society.

CORE made the move from a proprietary system to SilkStark. The migration was seamless, the attention to detail was excellent  and any hiccups were addressed in a very timely manner.

Cost effective, fresh templates. Various design options with the use of the many widgets available.

Ease of use, many tutorials and FAQ to help problem solve, easy access to support with quick response time.

Ease of use and customer support. Reports were useful and easy to customize.

Easy to use and the customer service is very responsive.

Overall I am happy with Thundertix and the process to use the software.

I would highly recommend spending quality time on the set-up to ensure you're using it to the best of its ability for your organization.

We love working with ThunderTix. ThunderTix has an amazing support system in place.

It was very easy to integrate into our current websites and customisable to our use.

Our customer love the ability to do things on line from home, yet have the ability call or stop in & we can make the reservations for them.

Moving to ThunderTix has been one of the BEST decisions our theater has made. We had been using a very expensive ticketing software which was just too BIG for us.

This was a good ticketing solution and is very user friendly software.

The inability to have a store for merchandise separate from adding to a ticket. Refunds & exchanges to multi day events can get very confusing.

What I like MOST about ThunderTix is that is does NOT cost an arm and a leg to get a powerful yet easy to use ticketing software.

It integrates nicely with credit card payments and was easy to set up on that front. It was VERY easy to scan tickets with the app as well.

I find creating events and selling tickets quite a bit easier than our previous application; and it's nice to see the sale $ right away rather than after the event.

The app is easy to install, straightforward and easy to use and navigate through. Has the essential features we needed for our event.

They were kind, quick to respond and delivered a solid product at the best price in town. That's pretty darn good if you ask me.

They have saved our staff hours of time and energy by implementing easy to use, effective features.

Excellent Customer Service. Easy to integrate into your website.

I am not sure if there is a reason behind that or if it is just by chance it got lost or went to spam. I am not sure, but just wanted to throw that in there too.

Even leaving notes about orders that you couldn't later update would get irritating for the small space provided.

As I mentioned above, I have been told these problems have been corrected.

The program, for the money, delivers a fantastic product.

Not only was it user friendly but it serves as a wonderful data source.

My overall experience has far exceeded my expectations. I have never under any circumstances had the level of attentive and courteous online customer service like I have received from ThunderTix.

So easy to use and set up. Customer service is fantastic.

That's what I like best about ThunderTix: knowing that they have my back.

I feel like the biggest benefit is the price and the customization of the software.

Unable to use packages and the shopping cart feature. With multiple packages, we have to run multiple charges for a customer, can raise concern.

Overall our experience is excellent. We are very happy with this product.

I appreciate the advanced and at-the-door reserved seating, easy-print guest lists for ushers, integration with MailChimp, the no-fee Braintree gateway and the post-event email survey.

I did find it difficult to purchase tickets on different nights to be tricky.

It is as though we are building the software together. You can tell the people behind the program truly care about it and about our business.

Designed for the performing arts, ThunderTix provides reserved seating and general admission event management. We make season subscriptions easy and combine fundraising, gift cards, merchandise, concessions, and a private CRM in one platform.

What ThunderTix customers have to say about us:
“From an old platform to an event in under a week - 8,000 patrons - half a season reprogrammed, flawlessly”

“Ability to access events on your cell phone or web anywhere.”

“VERY effective pivot to cope with COVID reality - thank you!”

“We broke our all time online ticket sales.”

“What I like MOST about ThunderTix is that it does NOT cost and arm and a leg to get a powerful yet easy-to-use ticketing software.”

At ThunderTix, our clients love us for a number of reasons be it our robust and easy-to-use platform, our unbeatable pricing matched with incomparable customer support, or our constant response to changing needs. We know that switching software mid-season or trying ticketing software for the first time can be a bit daunting and we are here to help with 24//7/365 customer support. Better yet, you can try it for free through our trial and once we have earned your business, you can transfer all of your data over from the trial to your real account. 

ThunderTix is a full service event management solution that caters to the performing arts with options for reserved seating or general admission events. We build out beautiful, custom seating charts that enable patrons to select their seats in real-time.  Best of all, unlike other services, ThunderTix enables event managers to decide between charging their customers a ticketing fee and retaining 100% of that revenue or going fee-free! We never add a fee to your ticket price and we never use your customer data - you own it. Ticket sales can be made online, over the phone, or at the box office. Once guests have arrived, you can either use the free ThunderTix app or your preferred hardware to scan, un-scan, and sell tickets at the door. Our web-based platform enables venues to download nightly and accurate reports helping our clients to make informed decisions about their current or next event. An additional benefit to using ThunderTix is that you set up your own payment gateway cutting us out as the middleman and enabling you to receive your deposits nightly.

ThunderTix makes it easy for event managers to have full control over their event:
* Create unique logins for staff, volunteers, or renters and restrict permissions for each user. 
* Change the price of tickets based on ticket type, seating section, or days out from the event using our dynamic ticket type. OR utilize our new Pay What You Can Pricing with suggested minimums for fundraisers, virtual events, and more.
* Use your own styles or CSS to customize your event website or embed events onto your website for a seamless experience.
* Utilize coupons, customer loyalty programs, season subscriptions, flex passes, or bundled events with discounted prices to promote sales!
* Sell concessions or merchandise ahead of or at your show.
* Target ticket buyers while cutting costs on outside services using our full, built-in customer relationship manager (CRM) and mass mailing features. Use pixel tracking to analyze your ad spending. 
* If you’d like to put more control into the hands of the ticket buyer, give them the ability handle their own refunds, seat exchanges, or convert their tickets to a donation.
* Check on guests in a snap, thank them for donations at the door, and see who scanned them in!
* Track sales to find out which staff members are at the top of the leaderboard!
* Follow up with your attendees with automated emails and integrated surveys to find out what they want more of!
* Once it is all said and done, use our ‘replicate’ feature to easily copy over event details and create a new event in the same format but with a different title and date. 
* In the off-season, downgrade to Maintenance for just $10/mo
