Pros:
It was simpler to use and your staff were very helpful. AS it was the first time I had used Ticket Source there were some things I did not understand Every time I rang your staff were very helpful.
Cons:
Was not always clear how to pay. Three customers did not work out how to pay on line. They paid in cash at the event so it was OK.

Vendor Response

Hi Richard, thank you for sharing your feedback on your initial use of the system. Please do get in touch if you would like us to review the purchase path on your account so we can ensure it is obvious to customers.

TicketSource, the best event ticketing software

5

My experience was near perfect from the point when I set up the event initially, to when we got our final event payment. Support is always helpful, and the interface is easy to use. TicketSource is also brilliant in the way that it can be as simple as you want, or you can go really in-depth and configure your event to exactly how you want it.

Pros:
I love how human TicketSource seems to feel. It really feels like it is run by people who have used other worse ticketing platforms, and have solved almost all other issues that most other ticketing platforms have, like having to buy a subscription. Not to mention, the customer service is unmatched. I sent an email on a Sunday, and got a response very quickly, even though it was a weekend! Brilliant company.
Cons:
It is really quite hard to pinpoint one specific thing about TicketSource that I dislike. It is mainly just small updates that I would like to see to even further improve my experience, for example being able to book seats in house seats in a section that is otherwise fully booked, instead of getting the "section full" message. That being said, these are all minor things and their service is still amazing.

Reasons for choosing TicketSource

TicketSource had very high reviews compared to their competitors. They also seemed much more "human", and their pricing system was just better in my opinion.

Vendor Response

Hi Ethan, thank you for taking the time to share your experience and thank you for your kind words.

Great service for multiple event community festivals

5

I like the quick answering of the Ticketsource helpline phone by someone in the UK (Wales) who is of course familiar with our language and vernacular. Help lines in the Philippines may be on offer 24/7 but they dont understand the nuances of an issue being discussed. I am running a multi-event festival it has become very simple to set up the system now.

Pros:
It improves each time we use it, adding welcome new features. It is complex but logical.
Cons:
The public access to a current event shows say X Tickets available. It would help if it said X tickets available out of Y, where Y is the maximum. I encourage my multiple small event organizers to watch their ticket bookings (they dont have access to the back of house) and it gets confusing when they cant remember how many tickets there are for the event but it says say 32 Available or worse still 50+ available. Also, when setting up multiple events with the same Ticket Launch Date, why cant we click "All event tickets available from the same date" Also when selecting a venue location at the beginning for a new event, why cant we set up a subdirectory of our own regularly used venues rather than scrolling down numerous similar venues across the globe.

Everything worked perfectly!

5

This was the first time our group used an online ticketing company. Our customers liked it, they found it easy to use. We liked it because we could see daily how ticket sales were going. This allowed us to know when to 'push' sales a bit harder, which lead to a sell out concert over a week in advance.

Pros:
The website is basically easy to use. The ticket commission is very competitive. Our customers are mostly senior citizens and they had no problems booking their tickets. We liked being able to see ticket sales daily.
Cons:
We didn't experience any real problems. There was a bit of a learning curve to understand some of the event set up procedure, but once that was mastered it was plain sailing.

Vendor Response

Hi Nigel. Thank you for sharing your feedback and we are really pleased to hear the event was a sell out!

First time user.

This was my first time of use so it took a little time to set up a profile and advertise the first event. Appreciated having the option for customers to pay transaction fee ( a previous company deducted it from the proceeds automatically). Sales process was easy and customers said how ‘professional’ it looked. Instant stats and customer details from ticket sales was a real plus. Overall - a great experience. Will definitely use again next time.

Pros:
Efficient and professional style of ticket purchases. Proceeds quickly transferred after the event. Lots of support available if needed.
Cons:
Took a little time to set up the event initially but then it all ran smoothly. Although support was available I managed to do it myself, although it may have taken longer.

Reasons for switching to TicketSource

Inability to apportion fees to customers. No clear reports if sales. Monies received instantly but refunds would have to be processed by organiser if event cancelled

Vendor Response

Hi Clive, thank you very much for your review. We appreciate that getting used to a new system can sometimes be a challenge. We do our best to make the system as simple to use as possible, but we are pleased to hear the team were on hand to assist when needed.

Pros:
It’s easy to use and the daily reports were very helpful. I like that it is UK based and I’ve heard that you can ring for help with a real person. The commission is reasonable for a good service. Background We used TicketSource for the first time to our annual Stroud Sacred Music Festival. We left Eventbrite because setting up multiple managers was difficult when the keyholder fell ill and our volunteer ( ie not professional media people) couldn’t work out how to open up for loading tickets etc.
Cons:
Can’t think of anything at all, honestly I can’t! Perhaps things will arise with more usage but so far so good.

Reasons for switching to TicketSource

We needed to make tickets urgently and our main Eventbrite administrator fell ill and we couldn’t access the login.

Vendor Response

Hi Katie, thank you very much for your review and we are pleased to hear the transition over from Eventbrite has been positive.
