TryBooking's Tailored Ticketing

Jeff McAlister explains how the company has introduced new features to serve local theatre productions.

TryBooking, a trusted partner for local theatres across Australia, has a longstanding history of supporting the performing arts community with affordable and accessible ticketing solutions.

We offer a transparent pricing structure, of a low 50c ticket fee and a 2.5% processing fee, and an array of features tailored to meet the unique needs of theatre venues. These include:

Flexible Seating Plans: TryBooking’s seating plan options cater to any venue configuration, whether you have a dress circle, a mezzanine, cabaret-style seating or a combination of them. Our platform allows for customers to choose the seats most suitable for them to have the best experience possible.

Access Codes: A new feature on the platform is password-protected events for presale access, allowing members to book their preferred seats before tickets go live to the public. If you have any season ticket holders, they can reserve their special seats using custom passwords, adding a personal touch to their theatre experience.

Gift Certificates: A valuable tool for boosting revenue, TryBooking allows theatres to create and sell gift certificates directly through their websites. These certificates can be redeemed only for the company’s future TryBooking events. This is a flexible alternative to promotion codes for sponsors, special offers, and even as a refund option.

Box Office Solutions: TryBooking’s box office solutions offer two convenient options. New is our Box Office App that allows staff to accept in-person payments via phone or tablet, sending receipts and tickets electronically for a paperless experience. Alternatively, our Box Office Web works on any device, and can be paired with a terminal to print tickets on-site. Both solutions integrate seamlessly with TryBooking’s Scanning App, providing centralised reporting across all sales, including merchandise, food, and drinks.

TryBooking’s  Australian based support team is readily available to assist theatres to set up their ticketing services, ensuring a smooth and efficient process from start to finish. As a company committed to the arts, TryBooking continues to innovate and provide the tools necessary for theatres to thrive.
