Avis sur AudienceView
Alternatives envisagées précédemment :
an excellent box office with expanding development tools
Commentaires : Everyone has been very open to feedback and notify users right away when new features roll out. For example, I was thrilled when Development Notes were added to report output.
Avantages :
I appreciate how easy it is to set up, manage, and follow up on our events throughout the season. It is especially powerful to be able to track an audience member's 360* participation from first RSVP, to package buyer, to donor.
Inconvénients :
The "Communications" functions, which essentially track appeals sent, are not as searchable and report-friendly as I would like.

Hi Hillary, Thank you so much for the review and for the feedback about the Communications Tool. That is definitely a feature that we are looking to improve so I will share your feedback with our product team. Thanks again!

Vineyard Theatre OvationTix review
Commentaires : The Vineyard uses OvationTix for both our ticketing functions as well as a fundraising and donor database platform. For an organization our size with a lot of users who need different things from the software, it's a very good system.
Avantages :
The software is super easy to use and, for the most part, logically/intuitively organized.
Inconvénients :
The reporting functions exist in two different locations, and it's not always obvious where I should start when looking for specific information.

Hi Penn, thanks so much for your feedback about OvationTix. We are glad to hear that it's a good fit for The Vineyard! We are constantly striving to improve our functionality, and that includes reporting - so be on the lookout for updates there soon :)
Budget Friendly but not User Friendly
Commentaires : AudienceView was a stop gap measure for our company. It served its purpose while we had it, but ultimately we found more powerful and user-friendly ticket management.
Avantages :
AudienceView is certainly a budget-friendly option for organizations that need to sell tickets and manage events.
Inconvénients :
I did not find the software to be intuitive, and pulling reports is burdensome. Accessing and analyzing historical ticket/attendance information is not simple.
Good, can't wait for it to be better
Commentaires : We used to have ticketing and donations in two separate software which was a nightmare. Having everything in one system is very beneficial.
Avantages :
Do not get me wrong, this product is good. It has a variety of options but sometimes has weird dead-ends on the back end or functions in odd ways. It is definitely a better option than what we had. I enjoy it and will keep using it, would love to see some new features.
Inconvénients :
As I mentioned above, sometimes you run into dead-ends. I wish there was a bi-annual check-in where I could talk to someone about features and what we would love to see. Directly integrated marketing, not using Mial Chimp or another software, truly an AVP marketing feature would be ideal.
Great Service for Patrons and Companies Alike!
Commentaires : We've been using OvationTix since its inception. With dozens of shows throughout the year, including many for which we function purely as Presenters, the functionality of OvationTix has been crucial to our success. Our presented productions can monitor and see the success of their shows, and we can manage the overall process. We enjoy working with OvationTix so much that we began using it to track all of our donations years ago.
Avantages :
- Sales Format is customizable to match your website, so customers don't know they're going off-site to purchase their tickets - Easy to add packages, products and donations to the offerings - Easy to set up numerous shows and events throughout the year and share access to box office information to select individuals for select productions - Ability to track all donor activity, including donations, attendance at shows, and product purchases (such as Auction wins or merchandise sales) - Ability to sort donors by category or campaign - Ability to have multiple donor campaigns for multiple projects - The online format allows our Development Staff to work remotely when necessary because all donor information is on the cloud
Inconvénients :
The ability to track pledges and offset them with donations is still in development. We'd like to be able to track a donation for its intended fiscal year, but that feature is not currently available. It would also be nice to be able to track Grant Deadlines and activity, as one can do with some of the more expensive programs.

You're taking full advantage of our fundraising and ticketing functions! We're continuing to work on enhancements to both. The new "Donor Profile" view may be of interest to you and yes, continued development on pledges and fiscal year changes is in process. If she hasn't been in touch already, Melissa, your account executive, will be in touch with you shortly to demonstrate some new pledge functionality that might address your current need. Please keep checking your email for the newsletter as these enhancements will keep rolling out for you and all of our nonprofit partners.
Right size, right price, excellent customer service
Commentaires : OvationTix is the right-sized software for our medium-sized theatre. We are working in a new model, and we needed a consortium-style box office that wouldn't break the bank. We wanted to be able to sell tickets across several companies without compromising the data or independence among the companies. OT could help us with this odd model, at a reasonable price that even the smaller companies could afford. In addition, we needed something we could train rotating apprentices to use, so we needed it to be simple. And the OT team has been so responsive to every issue we've had. I also like that they are still clearly working on the software - this isn't a product that they've set and won't change. They add new things and listen to our requests.
Avantages :
Easy to use and train others to use; Customer service is super-responsive and they talk to you like human beings; One piece of software for both ticketing and development; It's built for my industry, instead of being a generic piece of software with performance and development laid on top of it; Clear, easy reports that you can save and/or automate; OvationTix is willing to work with us to create new solutions for our unique business model.
Inconvénients :
We've had some hiccups with customer service over terminology; The transition was complicated because OvationTix and our previous software used exact opposite categories to sort, etc. I wish the automated receipts and acknowledgements for patrons were a little prettier.

Ann, thank you so much for this feedback! We are so happy to hear that OvationTix serves your theatre well. We look forward to growing and improving with you!
Perfect! Stellar support, intuitive features, scales with us
Commentaires : Our events perform in multiple venues with varying set-ups: assigned seats, general admission, and with various types of tickets like VIPs and student pricing in venues from 99 seats up to 800 or more seats. We also use discount codes, want something that easily integrates with email software and our website and really responsive support since we produce more events than our relatively small staff can handle! OvationTix has worked very well for us in this first six months of our partnership with them. I like that they update the software monthly with new features. It is important our company keep its branding consistent and OvationTix makes that process seamless.
Avantages :
Ease of Use Quick Set-Up and On-Sales Integration with Email and Website Platforms Great Support Helpful and Ongoing Upgrades Call Center for Ticket Buyers by Phone Private, Custom Branding No Up-Front Cost: we only pay OvationTix when we sell tickets.
Inconvénients :
We aren't a non-profit company, so all the fundraising features in the solution don't really apply to us. This is not a complaint really, but those tools are probably of great use to other companies. We just don't use them.

Thanks for the praise Steven! Our best to you and your team. Don't hesitate to reach out to our support team if you have any questions. And yes, while the fundraising solutions like individual donations, pledge tracking, moves management and deeper CRM functions aren't for everyone, you can certainly use them when they match up with your business needs.
I've been with Ovation for nearly a decade!
Avantages :
There are many pros to ovation - the fact that they mirror your website, the fact that you can choose how the fees are charged (i.e. to the client or out of the ticket price), the ease with which it allows you to take credit cards, the great customer service, I could go on and on!
Inconvénients :
I do wish (and maybe this is coming in the future) that I could set a limit on the number of discount tickets I set for a specific performance, i.e. there are 10 tickets at 50% off for Tuesday night - and the software would stop selling them once 10 have sold. Other than that I haven't got many complaints!

Hi Heather, Thank you so much for your review and being a partner a long standing partner. As far as the discount codes...you can put a limit on how many of those are sent and all types of other parameters (i.e ticket limits, specific dates, specific sections), etc. I will follow up with you separately to walk you through it. Thanks again.
Great For Smaller PAC/Theatres
Avantages :
Very easy to teach/train staff, positive feedback from online users using the software. building and backend features were simplistic, but easy to understand and to use.
Inconvénients :
We used this software when I worked at a small sports complex, and I don't think it was a good fit for our type of sports venue. It is definitely a great software for smaller performing arts centers or theatres

Thank you for your review. It sounds like you have used OvationTix at a past job but aren't currently using it at the theater you are at.

A Standing Ovation for OvationTix
Avantages :
OvationTix is a good platform/website to purchase or sell tickets on for events. It is also great for advertising and marketing your own events. They take you step by step through the ticket purchasing process, and it takes no time to complete transactions.
Inconvénients :
I wish they had a demo on their website, rather than you having to request a demo. It may bring in more revenue and publicity if they had it located on the website.

Best Customer Support!
Commentaires : We love Ovationtix. Their customer support team helps us with every and any problem we have. Even if they don't have the answer right away, they get back to you within a very reasonable time frame. Everyone is always friendly and willing to help. They fully support and listen to our ideas about improving the system, in order to meet our specific needs and requirements.
Avantages :
-ease of use -easy to follow layout -everything in one spot (subscriptions, tickets, donations)
Inconvénients :
-Theatre Ed Class registrations are difficult -no way to flag certain patrons on a who's coming list -Patron Holds from patron profile would be nice so you are not going back and fourth from the hold page to the profile page.

great team with customer service! very supportive. user friendly and easy to navigate.
Commentaires : like the extra phone room support and the financial credit card payout that is done by Ovation instead of our administration. the online ease of use.
Avantages :
Very user friendly and simple to set up shows and make changes, alterations to shows and pricing.
Inconvénients :
a bit slow when doing window sales (internet speed) no waiting list automatic function when a show sells out (like Eventbrite has) . The fact that you can't build your own seating charts or make alterations to them without going through a customer service rep ( slow turnaround).

Thanks for the review! You shouldn't be experiencing any issues with internet speed at the Box Office so please give us a call so we can trouble shoot that for you. We'd also love to hear more about what you're looking for in terms of the wait list functionality. We take client feedback very seriously and it directly drives our roadmap. We are working on functionality to give clients the ability to build their own seat maps so stay tuned!
OvationTix Review
Commentaires : Overall, Ovationtix is very easy to use and client friendly. They have a great support team that is easy to reach and very helpful. For a small company such as ours that does not have a stationary box office, their phone line is a great way for us to offer box office service to our patrons. It's online functionality, allowing us to use anywhere we go, is great, as we are an itinerant theater company, and need to set up a new box office area for each show, somethimes in areas that are not as conducive to a theater environment.
Avantages :
The software is easy to use, allowing our patrons easy ability to purchase tickets through our site. It is also flexible, so we can adjust it to our needs as an itinerant company. We can make our subscriptions customizable to each space that we are in.
Inconvénients :
The reporting function is not as straightforward as I would like. Sometimes it takes some extra finesse and creativity to pull a report with the exact information that you need. It is not as straightforward as a database as it is a ticketing software.

Vital for my theater company
Avantages :
I love how integrated this ticketing software is with our website, and the customer service is top notch - friendly, thorough and timely.
Inconvénients :
I would love for the integration design to be easier to update - we made changes to our website and it was explained to me that it would take a team of them to redo the design so that the pages matched. At the time I opted not to have them do that, since our changes were minor. But we're currently doing a rebranding project and we'll need to be able to re-integrate the design - I'm hoping that can be done in a timely manner (when we're ready.) That all said, customer service has always been amazing so this "like least" does not affect my opinion about the company.

The 24/7 phone answering service for our patrons is the best!
Avantages :
This service gives us a complete customer focus. It allows us to sell tickets and collect donations automatically online. This service also provides us with "always open" capability by answering our ticketing phone calls 24/7.
Inconvénients :
The set up can sometimes be difficult when we are creating a new series. But, I suspect that that is because we only do that once per year.

They are a great way to brush up on the basics if it's been a while and they are hosted every week. We also host other webinars dedicated to a more specific focus (i.e development tools, packages, etc). You can find the link to our training calendar in the help center.

OvationTix - great resource for non-profit event ticketing and donor tracking
Commentaires : I am thrilled with the OvationTix experience and look forward to the upgrades that will make it an even more rewarding tool for the work required of a small non-profit.
Avantages :
Rep is an absolute ideal resource for helping us use OvationTix more efficiently. Entering and tracking donors alongside event ticket purchases. Both pieces of information together, results in effective reporting. Integration with online, phone and in-person ticket purchasing and donor development. Responsiveness to request for enhanced features to be added.
Inconvénients :
It takes a while to get used to reporting. Once the user gets into the software it becomes more intuitive.

Not only is it super user friendly, the customer service is fantastic. We also love that there are no fees on donations and no set up fees which is huge.

Pros and Cons of OvationTix
Commentaires : Our business needed a way for patrons to purchase tickets online at their convenience, especially since our box office has restricted hours of operation. This gives us that option.
Avantages :
This software is easy to use, simple to set up and edit multiple events and prices. Navigating through the reports is fairly easy once you are familiar with the program. And information is very detailed.
Inconvénients :
There is a learning curve and not a lot of training provided to familiarize newcomers to where things are hiding.

Great tool for small theaters.
Avantages :
Easy to set up shows, ticketing is fast and keeps the UX simple for, let's face it, the most non-user friendly of theater patrons.

Not the most versatile, new theater setups require time and patience. I would love a more developed Development module with tools.
