In the vibrant world of performing arts, your focus should be on creating unforgettable productions, not wrestling with clunky, disconnected software. Managing ticket sales, marketing, fundraising, and patron relationships can quickly become overwhelming. A modern, integrated performing arts ticketing system is the key to streamlining your operations, allowing you to dedicate more time to the art itself while boosting sales and patron engagement.
ThunderTix provides a powerful, all-in-one theatre software solution designed to help you boost ticket sales, deepen patron engagement, and simplify your daily management tasks. We empower you with the tools to control your financial and operational destiny, ensuring every show is a success from the moment tickets go on sale to the final curtain call.
A Robust Platform for Ticketing, Fundraising, and Marketing
A truly effective theatre management solution brings all your essential functions under one roof. Instead of juggling separate systems for ticketing, email marketing, and donor management, an all-in-one platform creates a seamless workflow. This consolidation not only saves money on multiple subscriptions but also drastically reduces administrative workload.
ThunderTix combines a comprehensive suite of tools into one user-friendly interface. You can manage online and box office ticket sales, launch fundraising campaigns, and communicate with your audience without ever leaving the platform. This unified view of your operations gives you the power to make smarter, data-driven decisions.
Increase Patron Awareness and Attendance
Promoting your productions and growing your audience is vital for success. A comprehensive ticketing platform should come equipped with marketing tools to help you reach new patrons and keep loyal ones coming back.
With ThunderTix, you can build and manage your audience with integrated marketing features. Our platform allows you to:
- Sell Tickets on Your Website: Embed our secure ticketing widget directly into your existing website, maintaining your brand identity and creating a smooth purchase process for your patrons.
- Engage with Email Marketing: Use our integrated mass email tools to send branded announcements, reminders, and thank-you messages to attendees, donors, and volunteers.
- Track Patron Data: Gain valuable insights into your audience with a built-in Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system that tracks purchase history and donations, enabling personalized communication.
Drive Revenue and Increase Funding
Your ticketing software should be a primary driver of revenue. ThunderTix is built to help you maximize every opportunity for financial growth.
Our flexible ticketing options are designed to meet the unique needs of performing arts venues. You can easily set up reserved seating with custom, ADA-compliant seating charts or offer general admission events. We also make it simple to create and manage season subscriptions, memberships, and flexible ticket packages to encourage patron loyalty.
Beyond ticket sales, ThunderTix integrates fundraising directly into the checkout process. You can prompt patrons to add a donation with their ticket purchase, set up recurring giving campaigns, and manage all donor activity within the same system, creating a powerful and unified revenue engine.
Save Time, Money, and Resources
By consolidating your operations into a single platform, you can streamline processes and reclaim valuable time. ThunderTix automates many of the tedious tasks associated with theatre management, from sending ticket confirmations to generating daily sales reports. This allows your staff and volunteers to focus on higher-impact activities that enhance the patron experience.
Our platform provides a unified dashboard where you can see real-time sales data, manage event capacities, and handle customer service inquiries like refunds or exchanges with ease. For organizations that rely on community support, our volunteer management tools help you create roles, schedule shifts, and communicate with your team efficiently.
Elevate Your Patron Experience
From the moment a patron visits your website to the post-show follow-up, every interaction shapes their perception of your organization. ThunderTix helps you deliver a professional, world-class experience at every touchpoint.
Recognizing that a significant portion of tickets are now purchased on mobile devices, our platform is mobile-first, ensuring a seamless buying experience on any device. On the day of the show, our tools facilitate a smooth front-of-house operation with fast barcode ticket scanning, digital ticketing options, and an intuitive box office interface for handling walk-up sales. This efficiency reduces lines and ensures your patrons' experience begins positively the moment they arrive.
