Theatre ticketing software for the arts

From opening night to final curtain, ThunderTix helps theatres run smoother, sell more tickets, and build lasting relationships with patrons. Designed specifically for small to mid-sized performing arts organizations, our box office platform gives you everything you need to manage event ticketing, subscriptions, fundraising, volunteers, and more—all in one place.

Seating Options That Fit Your Venue

Reserved seating chart that shows sold tickets versus those that are scanned and blocked as they come in.Whether your theatre has 40 seats or 400, ThunderTix gives you the flexibility to choose between general admission or custom-built reserved seating charts — tailored to your exact layout. For venues that need assigned seating, we build ADA-compliant charts that support tiered pricing, companion seating, and color-coded status indicators (sold, held, pending). Prefer general admission? Keep it simple with fast check-in and easy ticket scanning—no chart required.

Either way, box office staff can access patron details with a click, manage holds, and ensure smooth entry—no scrambling for the best seats.

Season Passes & Subscriptions Made Simple

Offer multi-show packages with reserved seats across events or flexible pick-your-own passes. Set member pricing, provide exclusive access, and streamline renewals with ease. Whether it’s fixed-date subscriptions or flex passes across multiple venues, our tools are designed to grow loyal audiences.

Fast, Friction-Free Checkout

ThunderTix makes checkout quick and reliable, with one-page order forms and built-in payment processing through Square, Stripe, or Authorize.net. Enable digital delivery, thermal ticket printing, or print-at-home options to meet your patrons where they are. With integrated email validation and real-time inventory updates, you reduce errors and save time.

Integrated Fundraising & Donor Tools

Raise more with customizable fundraising campaigns, donation prompts during checkout, and our optional round-up feature. Track donor history, send thank-you letters, and offer recurring giving—all seamlessly integrated within our CRM-driven ticketing platform.  You can even allow patrons to cover credit card fees to maximize your donations.

Mobile-First for Patrons and Staff

With over 60% of tickets now purchased on mobile, ThunderTix ensures a seamless experience across all devices. Patrons can buy tickets, make donations, or redeem gift cards from any phone or tablet. Meanwhile, your staff can manage orders, scan barcodes, and track sales in real time using our iOS and Android apps—even at the door.
