Thank you for such an easy system. From the booking to the scanning it was easy and our customers even remarked how easy it was to book
Cons:
the refund process for one of our 2000+ customers was a little confusing, however with 1 call it was resolved

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.

Pros:
so easy to set up events, check ticket sales, get in touch with customers. I liked the look of the individual event pages too
Cons:
The way the ticket shop was set up. I was running a festival with many individual events, and it was hard for customers to find the right ones. Perhaps it could be sorted by day, type of event, etc, to make it easier to find them?

Vendor Response

Hi Frances, thanks for taking the time to leave your review. We will pass on your feedback regarding a filter function within the ticket shop pages.

Ticket bookings for charity gala

Pros:
Very straight forward for people to book. Looked smart and was easy to set up. Great to be able to add sundry items and donation options and for an automatic email reminder to go out before event. Was good to be able to do in house bookings.
Cons:
I think it's awful that you take a cut of any donations made to charity. This is very poor and would stop me using you again. The fees are generally off putting when organising a charity event, so I would probably not use you again and aim to sell all tickets directly to mean more money for the good causes, or it would be better if you offered reduced fees for charity events.

Reasons for choosing TicketSource

Didn't want to but Event Bookings needed me to be a registered charity to get their best rates and I was organising the event as an individual on this occasion

Vendor Response

Hi Helen, Thank you for sharing this feedback. We appreciate your desire to maximise fundraising for your charity. Donations do incur a lower admin fee than our standard booking fee this is in place to cover our direct payment process costs incurred.

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.

Eventbrite fees too high, event set-up too complicated.
