Think your venue is too small for a ticketing system? Many smaller theaters and performance spaces assume reserved seating is the only option—and that it comes with complexity or cost they don’t need. But with ThunderTix, you get a powerful, flexible General Admission ticketing system that’s built to scale down as gracefully as it scales up.
Whether you're hosting a single show, a weekend-long festival, or a timed-entry event with daily visitors, ThunderTix makes it easy to manage capacity, create custom ticket types, and keep full control over your ticketing revenue—all at a price that makes sense for smaller organizations.
Create single events or set up a full schedule of recurring performances. Each date can have:
Every GA event can include unlimited ticket types. For each ticket, you control:
For daily or hourly events like museum visits, guided tours, escape rooms, or exhibit entries, ThunderTix makes timed ticketing easy to manage. Create recurring time slots and set a maximum number of attendees per interval. Availability updates automatically as tickets are sold—no third-party plugins required.
And when it’s time to check guests in, your team will have fast, reliable tools at their fingertips:
Whether you’re checking in 10 guests or 1,000, ThunderTix helps you keep lines short and experiences smooth.
When ticket supply is limited, urgency matters. ThunderTix helps you encourage faster decisions by showing ticket availability at the right moments—without pressure tactics.
This layered approach to urgency feels natural to your patrons while helping reduce cart abandonment and last-minute decision delays.
For high-demand events, ThunderTix offers a built-in waiting list feature. When an event sells out, customers can add themselves to the list and provide:
As tickets become available, you can notify the next person in line with a custom time window to complete their purchase. If they don’t act in time, the system automatically moves on to the next person—keeping your seats filled and customers happy.
Need to host a performance that’s invite-only or limited to select guests? ThunderTix makes it easy to set individual dates as semi-private within a public event.
These dates:
It’s the perfect way to handle donor previews, member nights, or closed-group bookings without setting up a separate event.
Want to give your audience early access before the general public? Combine semi-private links with password-protected event pre-sales for an added layer of exclusivity. It’s a great way to reward loyal fans, subscribers, or VIPs with early access to high-demand events.
With ThunderTix, even venues offering only general admission seating can sell season ticket bundles entirely online. Patrons can purchase full-season, build-your-own, or flex pass GA packages right from your public event pages — no more mailing paper brochures, waiting for checks, or manually entering each order at the box office. Your customers get instant confirmation, and your team saves hours of administrative work.

General Admission isn’t just for performances. Many organizations use ThunderTix GA events to manage:
You can assign a unique genre (like “Class”) to easily separate these events from your main stage season. Even better, you can customize the action button your patrons see—so instead of “Buy Tickets,” it might say “Register,” “Sign Up,” or “RSVP.” That small detail helps guide your audience with clarity and professionalism.
ThunderTix charges a low monthly subscription instead of taking a percentage of your ticket sales. That means you keep more of what you earn—no surprise deductions, no inflated service fees.
Want to offset your costs? You’re in control. Add a modest per-ticket fee (e.g., $1–$1.25) to cover your ThunderTix subscription or credit card processing. You decide how and when fees apply—and for discounted or free tickets, you can waive those fees entirely.
This flexible approach helps your organization stay sustainable while keeping ticket prices transparent and fair for your audience.
From flexible event scheduling and unlimited ticket types to fee control, timed entry, and waitlist management, ThunderTix gives you everything you need to run seamless General Admission events—whether you're selling 30 tickets or 3,000.
Best of all, you get powerful features without the high fees. No percentage of ticket sales. No long-term contract. Just the tools you need to grow your audience and manage events your way.
