Why ThunderTix

Subscription ticketing without the rigid template

Most ticketing platforms offer one subscription model and call it a day. ThunderTix lets you offer multiple subscription types in the same season, sell across reserved seating and general admission events in any combination, automate season ticket renewals with reserved seat holds, and give patrons unmatched flexibility — without adding admin workload.

Choose All Package

Full season, flexible dates

Perfect for patrons who want every event in the season but need freedom to choose dates. Think of it as offering your ticket inventory à la carte — the customer still gets the full season, with the flexibility of choosing the date that works for them.

  • Patrons select one performance per included event in your series
  • Fully guided four-step checkout: pick dates → choose seats → review → pay
  • Exclude specific performances from eligibility while including the rest of a run
  • Patron picks dates
  • Full season
The Choose All Season Package is a four-step checkout process. The ticket buyer selects one performance from each included event in the Season Pass, then selects their desired seats for each performance, reviews their tickets, and proceeds to checkout to finalize their Season Subscription.

Fixed Date Package

Your curated season lineup

Great for themed series like “Opening Night” or “First Thursday.” You pre-select the performance dates for each event, so a First Thursday package automatically includes the first Thursday performance of every event in the series.

  • You pre-select the performance dates for each event in the package
  • Patrons buy once and their dates are locked in — simpler renewals and planning
  • Reduces decision fatigue for your audience while keeping operations predictable

NEW: Add-on events. Let subscribers purchase additional events beyond the base package — special engagements, holiday shows, or one-night-only performances. You choose whether a fixed package offers add-ons and exactly which events are available, so patrons expand their season in the same checkout.

  • Venue picks dates
  • Themed series
A Fixed Season Subscription is a four-step checkout with dates and times preselected for each pass — for example, an Opening Night package including all Opening Night performances. The ticket buyer selects seats, reviews their tickets, and checks out to finalize their Fixed Season Package.

Build Your Own Package

Custom mini-season

Attract new subscribers with partial-season flexibility. Offer seven main stage productions and let patrons pick any five for a discount — a “mini-season” that converts audiences not yet ready to commit to the full lineup.

  • Patrons select a minimum number of events from your season lineup (e.g., 5 of 7)
  • Customers mix premium nights with matinees while still enjoying subscriber benefits
  • The proven on-ramp for first-time subscribers
  • Patron picks events
  • New-subscriber on-ramp
A Build Your Own Season Subscription allows patrons to choose a set minimum of performances out of a list of included events, gaining Season Pass benefits without committing to the full season. Ticket buyers select their desired events, performance dates, and seats at purchase, review their tickets, and check out.

Flex Pass Package

Maximum redemption flexibility

The most versatile subscription ticketing option available. Patrons receive voucher codes to redeem for tickets later at their convenience — selecting performances and seats any time before an event sells out.

  • Standard Use — voucher valid once per event, across all included events
  • Limited Use — once per event with a total redemption cap you set (e.g., any 6 of 10 events)
  • Punch Card — a set number of punches redeemable in any combination, even all on one favorite show

NEW: Section-Restricted Flex Passes. For reserved seating events, restrict redemptions to specific sections of your seating chart. Create tiers like Preferred, Standard, and Value, sell each pass level at a different price, and preserve premium seats for premium pass holders.

A Flex Pass Season Ticket has a list of included events, but patrons choose performance dates and seats later. Ticket buyers add flex passes to their cart, check out, and receive a confirmation email with voucher codes to redeem throughout the season. On redemption the ticket is discounted to $0 and delivered.

Pricing Your Packages

Flexible discount options

For Choose All, Fixed, and Build Your Own packages, price the bundle the way your season is built — we calculate the discount automatically at checkout and in all reporting.

Specified Price

One flat rate for the full package. Many organizations already discount opening night — offer an even deeper rate for an opening-night package across the whole series. You set the price across the spectrum of events.

Percentage Off

Auto-calculated savings per ticket at checkout. Especially effective for Build Your Own packages where ticket prices vary considerably — premium nights mixed with matinees, adult prices alongside children's tickets.

Dollar Off

A consistent per-ticket discount across the package, calculated automatically at checkout. Most effective with similarly priced tickets, so savings feel uniform across ticket types.

Percentage Off requires identical ticket types, names, and descriptions across package events for accurate bundling. Flex Pass supports Specified Price only.

Supports any venue & seating layout

Reserved, general admission, or both

Combine reserved seating charts, general admission areas, and multiple venues inside a single package. Easily adapt to changing configurations like black box theatres or seasonal seating shifts.

  • Reserved seating
  • General admission
  • Multi-venue

Automatic season subscription renewals

Save hours of admin time and increase retention

  • Reserve each subscriber's same seats for the new season automatically
  • Send customized renewal emails right within ThunderTix
  • Patrons confirm their package — same seats — with a one-click link
  • Allow seat change requests while holding the original seats until confirmed

AI-Powered Insight

Know your subscribers, not just your sales

Season subscriptions live inside the ThunderTix patron CRM — so you can ask plain-language questions about renewals, lapsed subscribers, and package performance and get real answers from your own data.

Which of last season's subscribers haven't renewed yet?
You have 38 unrenewed subscribers from last season. The largest group held the Opening Night fixed package. Sarah Patel renewed every season since 2022 but hasn't yet this year — want me to draft a personal renewal reminder with her same seats held?
