What to look for specifically

When comparing systems, make sure they support:

  • Interactive seat maps
  • Real-time inventory updates
  • Mobile responsive checkout
  • Apple Pay / Google Pay or other fast mobile payment options
  • Box office and online sales in one inventory system
  • Refunds, exchanges, and holds
  • Accessibility features for seat selection and checkout

Quick picks by venue type

  • Small-to-mid-sized theater: Spektrix, AudienceView, PatronManager
  • Large arts institution: Tessitura
  • General venue / mixed events: Leap, ShowClix
  • Simpler, lower-cost setup: SimpleTix

If you want, I can also narrow this down by:

  1. venue size,
  2. budget range, or
  3. whether you need subscriptions/memberships/donations too.
