We have had a great experience working with the eShows team from initial contracting throughout our show timeline.

The support staff is excellent and the customization needed was able to be done per our needs. I love the number of pre-populated reports and how easy it is to get custom reports we need.

The software did everything it was promised to do, our members and vendors enjoyed all of the features.

We are still learning all the various modules and how they can be implemented in our overall plan. Eshow is extremely robust and we are still exploring how we can best utilize the modules.

We love having all the data for the event in one comprehensive system, making it easy to manage all aspects of the event.

It's difficult to have a large, readable floor plan centered in the middle of the page.

What I loved most is that you can build your event by yourself or they will work hand in hand to build it with you.

The ability to keep all logistical details in one place; function sheets that are easy to read with a format familiar to convention center and hotel staff (BEOs); ability to create custom reports.

No how-to manual is the most frustrating thing.

I also appreciate that information is readily available on the exhibit dashboard (number of pending, number of assigned, balance due, refunds due, and cancellations) as well as the sales graph.

The reporting is robust and customizable, the dashboard is easy to read, support is very helpful.

I love so much about it. The customer service is probably the number 1 thing, though.

The software truly did it all, it was just difficult to navigate your way there. It manages both attendees as well as vendor registrations which was nice.

Meetings module is not intuitive to use and very repetitive in function that makes doing things very slow and a lot of clicks.

Great customer service, on-site support and functionality. This served as the all-in-one package for our event management.

IT also includes any kind of report you can think of which makes it extremely easy for the administrator of the team.

There are no automatic emails except for when the submitter receives a confirmation of final submission.

They are willing to dig in and figure out what works best for you. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an event management provider.

The customer service was fantastic - everyone was very responsive and helpful. In comparison to other platforms it seems comparable but for a more affordable price.

There is no room for growth within this software, nor is there any form of leadership and poor management.

Gamification is weak, the Meeting Module is cludgy and not well designed.

Though I learned how to use it well, it can be a little intimidating.

The staff is very helpful and responsive when I've needed assistance.

It's very easy to use and their staff are super helpful with providing training and jumping in to assist.

The Eshow staff and especially the team assigned to us was great to work with and did a fabulous job.

This software has everything you need to deploy a successful call for papers tool for a large conference. From a user experience perspective it is very easy to navigate and submit your abstract.

The dashboard is awful and not intuitive at all. Their team does not seem to mind that the interface is not user friendly.

Greatest Ticketing Software For Mid Size Sports Event EVER.

It was easy to set up and keep track of all sales. I was quite satisfied with the cost of ticket stock and how I can upload my design to it.

They get back to you promptly, are super friendly, and work to resolve everything quickly.

Very happy to be in the Purplepass Ticketing family. Loved the overall experience and support was great.

We have eliminated​ ticket fraud with the Purplepass scanners.

Best ticketing platform used to date. Costumer service is impressive and they are super fast with payouts & disputes.

Overall, I'm very pleased and highly recommend Purplepass to anyone looking for a robust and versatile ticketing solution.

Could not even find that myself on the site. I can't say enough about how bad the promoter site portion is, and how they need to fix this.

The only issues we had were user errors and my personal misunderstandings. I set it up as one week-long event, rather than multiple days and events throughout the week.

I liked the extra marketing, easy to use website, the slickness of how my ticketing page looked to costumers, getting paid was easy, adding offers/discounts was super simple 11/10 would recommend.

Purplepass worked with us over several weeks to help integrate their API with our custom application. They were extremely responsive and helpful throughout this process.

It was a bit difficult for me to do the admin work by discovering it naturally.

The interface is mostly very good. Their box office features are very well integrated.

We researched a LOT of other online ticketing platforms for our school theater and this one had the best rates, and as we came to find out, the absolute best customer service.

The product we used in the past caused many problems.

Perhaps this is due to our website software - WIX- but that was slightly annoying for our users.

Simple setup, but no significantly different features.

The interface of the website is easy to use and was extremely helpful. Gabriel at Purplepass is FANTASTIC.

Best and very reliable solution for ticketing. Easy to set up and very good integration.

Help line supports the magnificent features of the website; namely, video/ audio great/ ticket management charts magnificent also.

The site use features are very good and easy to use. We are now loyal PURPLE.

Awesome platform that makes creating events, uploading graphics and ordering wristbands such a breeze. We loved how inclusive the platform is because it served all of our needs.

It's so rare in this age of customer service outsourcing to consistently receive such high quality support. Not only that, but their product is truly excellent, and I have confidence in it.

Top notch customer service with amazing follow up. Ticketing choices are great and fast.
