TIX does what we need it to do and the customer service is spectacular
Stellar. Truly, truly stellar. I highly recommend TIX.
Pros
Covers everything we need for event scheduling and ticket sales. Customer service is stellar. I am very familiar with database driven software and easily understand the UI. My predecessor was not and has nothing but high praise for the customer support she received. Even on my end, I sometimes need help with mundane things and receive consistent support no matter the issue. The kind of support we receive is how we endeavor to treat our patrons. TIX sets a high bar.
Cons
Very little to say here. Previous iterations prior to 2021-ish were slow, particularly when the network traffic was crowded around showtimes on the East Coast. All of that has been resolved completely with their current major release.

Madison Lyric Stage Glad We Switched to Tix!
Working with our sales manager, Iris, is the best part of all. She demonstrates a comprehensive understanding of the Tix platform and how to achieve both standard setups and customizations. She is very responsive to our email requests, and if she doesn't know the answer herself, she is ready to find the answer timely. Perhaps best of all, she is courteous and good-humored in the face of stresses others may be feeling.
Pros
We have distinctly benefitted from adopting Tix. It has allowed us to have reserved seating with ease, in setup and customization, ease in the customer's online experience, and reports for front desk and back office staff. Its reliable automated processes and flexible customizations for ticketing confirmations and event reminders have relieved us of considerable manual work that we simply no longer had time for, freeing time to provide better personal assistance when needed. The flexibilities possible in combining event attributes, ticket types, patron types, and discounts are excellent. The payment processing passthrough from Tix to PayPal works very well, as does the emailing of sales notices and sales summaries to back office staff. The patron interface seems to be intuitive and easy to use, judging by the low level of assistance we have had to provide in ordering. While you have to commit to a certain amount of learning to get the most out of the platform, we have encountered very few customizations that we couldn't do for ourselves. After a year's learning and experience, we feel confident to work independently with a minimum of assistance from customer service and with a minimum of error.
Cons
The report writer is meant to be adaptable to a really wide variety of organizations, situations, and needs, but can be a bit persnickety to deal with. On the other hand, customer service assistance with report writing, in the form of our sales manager, is excellent.

ShowpassReasons for Choosing Tix
Their system of holding revenue until after productions ended and then their distinct unreliability at sending our revenue timely or reliably. Lack of expected automations such as event reminders a downside too. No ability to create season subscriptions.Reasons for Switching to Tix
Showpass did not have the ability to have the kind of season subscription we wanted to offer.-

Personal interaction with staff is excellent, navigation of site not easy.
Cannot easily find solutions to problems on our own, generally must call and speak with rep to get answer - it works if its during office hours but not on weekends or evenings. At times feel as though I'm going in a circle.

Tix.com is the BEST in the businesses
They have been wonderful and supportive. When I email my rep she has a response with support very quickly. I am amazed at how supportive they are and answer questions so quickly and make things easy. This is probably the most important part of such a service. Having support makes it even better.
Pros
It's easy and simple to use and have detailed features. We are able to set up the box office anywhere as we have a few venues and places we sell tickets. And we can also do phone sales from our home office.
Cons
The printing of the tickets. We don't use a ticket printer at the moment due to budget, so we use a regular printer. It would be nice to have more than one ticket printed per page, but this is a minor issue that we have worked around. It does not effect our work.

Perfect software for assigned seating
Tix is constantly striving to improve their software. If I have a suggestion, odds are, it's already a project in the works. They are always listening to their customers and changing their software to fit their needs. They take the time to educate us on using their software and keep us updated with any new changes.
Pros
Tix is the only company able to accommodate our unique needs with our festival requiring two separate seating charts for one event. They are also one of the rare ticketing companies that allow us to easily change the order for a customer. The customer service is superb and they communicate clearly with realistic deadlines of when new seating charts can be designed.
Cons
Our lives would be significantly easier if we could check in guests by their first and last name, but I know it's in the near future :)
Reasons for Switching to Tix
These companies were not able to handle the seating chart requirements we have. With Tix, we are able to help a customer change their seats on their order and upgrade their tickets, but are limited with other companies.- Industry: Fine Art

Tix makes ticketing easy
Pros
Mobile Opera began using Tix a year ago and from the beginning it was really helpful. The setup is intuitive and the processes are logical. The ease with which customers can navigate the ticketing process and the development tools for renewals and patron contact have improved our process greatly. The growth in early ticket sales in just our second year is impressive. Also, Tix' customer service is excellent with courteous representatives who are responsive and really know the answers. Tix is well worth the reasonable price.
Cons
WE are pleased with Tix and do not wish to publicly review features that we are still learning of. You require an answer here but we prefer to address any questions or concerns to Tix directly.

Tix.com has been a Game Changer for us...
Overall Experience: Wonderful. Marvelous. Game Changing.
I am now able to do many things that I could not do before:
-Number one is that I have someone I can call with ideas, questions, problems, issues. [SENSITIVE CONTENT]always answers the phone, and she always helps me.
-I can alert the kitchen to know how many fans are coming to the game tonight, so they know how many hot dogs to prepare, or how many pizzas to order.
-I can measure trends in attendance - which Visiting Teams attract better crowds.
-I can easily report our ticket sales and expected revenue for cash flow purposes.
-I can know which games have more kids coming, or more adults...we can tailor to the expected crowd.
So many metrics are available to our organization that we just never had before.
Pros
Tix.com has been a Game Changer for Humboldt Crabs Baseball. We started contactless ticketing during the Covid pandemic, and Tix.com was the software that made the most sense for us. We reviewed other software choices, and the customer service, user-focus, and fast set up was just not there. We have CONTINUED with Tix.com for many reasons, but I would especially highlight the EXCEPTIONAL, WORLD CLASS customer service. We have a Tix Account Manager who always answers the phone when I call. She knows me. She knows how to fix my issues. Also important is the ease of getting up and running quickly on this platform, the ability to track our sales in real-time, and the ability to easily produce informative reports.
Cons
Sometimes the database is slow to navigate. Sometimes this happens when I am sorting through large amounts of records and I don't really know what I am looking for ( trying to help a customer of mine when they have messed up a purchase ).
Once in a while I need to call with an urgent problem when it is "after hours". We are a baseball team and our games are often at night. We have been locked out of the database when fans are streaming into the ballpark, and it can take a while to get help in these situations. Minutes are critical to us when the gates open. The person who answers the phone has to collect a lot of information from me about my account and what the problem is, and then the person who can help takes time to call back. I get it. But if there were a way to streamline this process, it would avoid a critical cardiac event on my part. Maybe if I had a User Code or a User Number that would be "one stop shopping" for delivering the critical information about my account to the Helpers on the other end of the line...? Dunno. It does not happen often, so it's not a deal-breaker by any means. When I finally get to the helper-person, they are always helpful. I will say that some of it is a training issue on our side, but faster/more responsive connection to helpers "after hours" would be a definite plus.

Simple, Great Customer Service that is always there to help and make things work properly
Selling tickets 24-7
Pros
It is a simple program to use. Easy Setup events allows you to get other work done to make your event successful
Cons
Lack of social media connection. Lack of information that can be placed on the tickets and being and to use the same information on the online and box office tickets. Need to be able to rename the categories on the e ticket to be able to put
more coupons. Need to have an option to automatically set when to change ticket prices so you do not have to wait up until midnight.

Best choice for the price
Pros
Online seat selection ordering is very efficient. Ease of use: inexperienced box office volunteers can be up and running with 5 minutes of training
Cons
Customer data maintenance is a bit lean, sorting out any duplications can get tedious. However, other systems that do more cost a lot more

Easy, efficient and inexpensive!
We used to spend countless hours chasing tickets and providing maintenance for our ticket printers. As a service provider, when it came time to determine what system to use for printing tickets and tracking customer support issues, I knew there were a lot of choices. I looked into ticketing systems I have used in the past that require a lot of support and local maintenance and found a few light weight systems that I could install myself. Since coming on board in 2008, Tix.com has been n amazing support system for our company.
These days, I try modeling our own support after Tix. com's. The service is great, the product is awesome, and they have an extensive help center to help answer any questions. The ticketing service itself is intuitive and easy to use. Would definitely recommend it!. It's very convenient and we now have the right tool to support our guests.
Our guests are updated via emails directly and I received notices 24/7 of any tickets created. Tix. com fulfills all of my current needs and is a robust option for the future when the business takes off and I have a few more agents working with me, or a hundred:). This system has already proven that it can grow with our needs. We are more than satisfied with TIX. com. It has provided the support and training as well as its social media links, which helps us stay connected to our customers.

Perfect solution for our community theater
We are a community theater that puts on 3 or so shows a year. Tix.com is easy to use and has support that gets directly back to you and help you!
Pros
Extremely easy to use. We do a lot of the same type of shows, so having features that allow us an easy way to setup 6 performances is a real benefit.
Cons
Nothing. We haven't had any complaints at all. I would say the cost, but in the end it costs us about what the credit card swipe fees would cost.

Its a learning curve
Although there are a lot of components to setting up ticket sales of multiple types, at multiple price points and with multiple distribution options, I wish the Tix system was a little more user friendly. I'm a reader and generally very adapt with new software and I struggled to navigate the system for the first time. I required a lot of customer support, which was excellent, its just a burden to ask 50 questions to accomplish one task. It might have been nice to see a tutorial video to lessen the excessive amount of hand holding for newbies. Now that I understand the system, it's a piece of cake, the beginning was rough. Our service rep was very helpful, thorough and attentive, I appreciate his help more than I can say!
Response from Tix
Robyn, we try to make our system as easy as possible to navigate through, so we certainly appreciate your feedback. Our system does feature an online Help section that includes video tutorials and access to our Knowledge Base. Please do not hesitate to call or email if I can be of any assistance to you.

I always get the answer and instruction that I need from a friendly staff.
Simplicity of use, affordable price and consistent tech support.
Pros
The software is straight forward in it's set up. To set up an event, one simply clicks through the pages inserting production information and then it's finished. If there are modification, that is easily done by clicking on "modify event". An instruction video along with tabs and menus walk one through the steps and tech support always has a real person available, not automation.
Cons
Our company is in North Carolina and Tix.com is in California. The time difference is the only issue, but even with that, there is an emergency number so support is always available.

Tix: Great service!
Very happy with Tix. Our account manager, Steve, is incredibly helpful - and very patient. Our company has not had a comprehensive ticketing system before so it's been a steep learning curve. Steve has guided us step by step. He has helped us to tailor the system to our needs, and even has had his programmers customize elements.

We're always happy to go above and beyond to add functionality for our clients and will continue to strive to meet your organization's needs.

This has made running a theater and selling tickets on-line so much easier!
Tix has been a great addition to my business. I was searching for a company that would allow me to use my own credit card processing while still allowing me to have all the benefits of a ticketing software. Once I got the hang of the software it has been really easy to use and if I ever have a problem or issue I can call or e-mail my account rep and he helps me fix the situation. I have been extremely happy with this software and I really like the fact I can make adjustments or changes to a show or production on the fly with a computer or a smart phone.

We are extremely pleased with our Tix.com experience!
This is our second year using Tix.com for online ticketing and membership donations, and we are absolutely thrilled with it. I only wish we had done it sooner. It has cut down on the voicemail messages and return phone calls at our Box Office. Our patrons are delighted that they can easily access it and order tickets or renew their memberships at any time convenient for them without going through the Box Office. Whenever we have a question or need assistance, a quick phone call or email to Steve Moore at Tix.com is answered promptly. It is a pleasure dealing with Tix.com.

Pros
Easy to use, navigate, personalize and access. Makes accounting and customer tracking so easy. Reports are easy to access and save, and multiple formatting makes it possible to integrate organizational files.
Cons
There's very little negative I can say about Tix. Beginners might find the wide variety of choices a little intimidating at first, but video tutorials are easy to access and understand, and learning the software goes pretty quickly.

Great Customer Service!
We have been using TIX, Inc. since 2006. Sergio and Robert worked diligently to set us up and to make adjustments to their product to meet our needs. Silvia is also excellent to work with and, as our organization is somewhat "out of the box", they all make our requests seem perfectly routine. The turn-around time is spot on. The program is rarely out of service and is frequently being improved. I have recommended this service to many other organizations and will continue to do so. Great job, TIX!

I looked at many systems - some more flashy but as an experienced software executive I know that there is more than just flash when it comes to software.

I have recommended the software to others who are equally as happy with the results!

Tix Cares! *Best ticketing Company...Bar none.
I had no background on ticketing systems, Tix manager took me under his wing and now I can create events in minutes. Our reo gives a personalized customer service, based on your company's needs. He's patient and he has a great team, he's the very definition of a good manager. Experiencing a big ticketing company right now and it's disappointing of how poor the training and the customer service is. when you think of a big corporation you think they'll have and provide all tools needed to succeed. In reality, they care about the high fees and selling but not caring how it gets done. Tix cares about the success on both parties and they care about customers providing low fees. Each account is a priority to Tix, they help as much as they can. To a big company, 1 account is nothing, and they make you do the job for them. Tix also cares when creating a new venue map, their team must be geniuses because all I have to do is send them a PDF and they do the rest (at no cost), at the same time they let you know if something doesn't look right of if you missed a row or a seat number. They've saved me from a few mistakes and embarrassment, instead they help me succeed and look good to my superiors. If you're looking for a ticketing company Tix is the right choice. No question is stupid or not important to our rep, he never acts like he is too good to answer he never makes you call the appropriate person to help you, if you have an issue he's there. Thank you!
Pros
Customer service is the BEST! No words can describe the amazing service Tix provides.
User friendly, reports can be customized, access to everything we need to create events.
Creating a new venue couldn't be any easier!
Service fees are the lowest. They are caring and patient, they listen to your needs and give you ideas on how create a better event than what you had in mind.
Cons
Not many people know about Tix. If more people knew, Tix would be the #1 ticketing system in the world!

Tix is a great partner for our venue
The personalized service we receive makes Tix a valuable partner in operating a successful venue. As a local government-owned facility, cost controls are not only important; they are subject to governmental review. Tix offers all desired features at a demonstrably competitive price.
Pros
Tix is easy to use for staff and customers. I have shopped the competition and appreciate the pricing and service that Tix provides. We benefit from Tix keeping our venue in focus throughout the customer interaction with landing pages etc. reflecting our name in the forefront.
Cons
Not all of the features of some legacy reports have been integrated into the newer reports that can be created. Some minor features (like changeable tax rates and ticket text for printing) are not as easy for us to adjust, fortunately [SENSITIVE CONTENT] is always happy to make changes for us.

Easy to use, fantastic support!
Tix has been a breath of fresh air for our ticket office after coming from AudienceView Professional. The software was easy to learn and get set up with and is surprisingly feature-rich, bringing us more options and more advanced options to work with. Couple this with truly great customer support from not only our Tix rep, but also the support and development teams, and you have a ticketing system that probably isn't beatable for the price!
Pros
Excellent tools for setting up events quickly and easily, including great discount and email management programs that make applying the same setting to multiple events a breeze! User interface for administrators and users (ticket-buyers) is straightforward and clean. Customer support is fantastic!
Cons
Reporting is different from what we are used to. There are a lot of different reports, and figuring out what we needed for our accounting has taken some time. That being said, we are very particular with our accounting, so this may not be a problem for other institutions.

Fight Club OC Loves Tix
The staff at tix is always right there when you need them, so there is that comfort and support when you do have an occasional question or issue if any.
Pros
I love that tix built a season seat program into their backend which allowed me to click on one seat and print that seat for all six of my shows. Allowing me to sell a season seat... Brilliant!
Cons
The only thing I don't like is when I am picking seats out on the back end, the pop up screen always seems to get in the way of the next seat that I am picking. Probably an easy fix I just haven't brought it up to them yet to fix.

Fantastic Service
We are a performing arts venue of around 600 seats. I spent a lot of time asking colleagues thoughts on what ticket selling service to choose. I received quite a few options, but after doing my homework, we went with tix. Some of those colleagues had to regroup when their service changed prices or closed down entirely. I've been happy with tix since day one. Questions get answered promptly. We use volunteers (retirees) to staff our box office and, to be honest, they can struggle with all things computerized. It's been so helpful that tix emphasizes their approach of prompt problem solving, no judgement, make it easy to get the job accomplished.
Pros
We've used tix for several years now, after doing much research on other ticket selling services. I find that it's easy to navigate, there is outstanding support and I've never had a question that wasn't fully answered promptly. The reports are complete and help us market and manage with ease. tix provides us with a comprehensive service for our venue.
Cons
I really don't have anything that I could list here.

Couldn't be more pleased with Tix, Inc.'s web based Box Office software!
After much research into the various vendors for on-line ticket sales, Zanesville Community Theatre, Inc., a small community theatre in Zanesville, Oh, made the leap into on-line and and off-line credit card sales in June 2004 with Tix, Inc. At the time, ZCT didn't have the CC transactions necessary to support our own merchant account. Tix, Inc. supported us with their merchant account.
Furthermore, our representative (Silvia Mahoney) since day one has been patient with us and helped us to go from a completely manual (and time consuming) method of selling tickets to a method using on-line sales and off-line box office sales. Picking their own seats is very popular with our customers. We print our tickets on-demand to mail to our customers or hold for pickup. The Tix, Inc. Box Office software interfaces well with the Boca Systems ticket printers we use.
Fiscal reports are much easier and take much less time than the manual method we used to use. Since June 2004, we now process over 80%-95% of our sales in CCs both on-line (card-not-present) and Box Office (card-present) using Tix, Inc.'s Box Office software. Due to our increased volume in CC sales, we recently switched to our own merchant account.
As the Tix, Inc. Box Office software is web based, ZCT's Box Office staff can work at home to process ticket orders. Once they arrive on-site, they can batch print the days tickets and have them all ready for the customers.
ZCT is an all volunteer community theatre, having no paid staff members. We seat 92 per performance and each of the 6 shows we present run for two consecutive weekends. Many shows are sell-outs and without Tix, Inc. at our side I think our customer's experience would suffer.
Thank you Tix, Inc!

The Whole Backstage
It's all good. If I have any issues, customer service [SENSITIVE CONTENT] is very quick with a resolution response.
Pros
It is very user friendly. When we switched ticketing agents, no issues uploading existing customer information. So far, has met most of our needs.
Cons
One feature that would be helpful to me is, in the "sell" mode, when cursor is hovering over a seat, would show who purchased it.

TIX is the answer we needed--Great support and patron experience
We wanted an easy-to-use system where patrons could select their own seats for events in a 1500-seat venue and our smaller 450-seat theater. Going from our old paper system to TIX was a great decision. We were looking for a reasonable fee structure and solid customer support--TIX has both. Another feature that was important for us was to be able to hide the fee for certain events and TIX makes that easy to do. Sales reports, customer data and back-end management are easy to use and the TIX help library is excellent--anything I have not been able to figure out has been quickly responded to from TIX support via phone or email. I've also been impressed by the personal rapport of my support specialist--when I call, she knows who I am and is familiar with our organization's venues and events. I'm sure she has many clients to attend to, but I have had excellent response to each call or email--always within the same day!
Many of our patrons are older and I have heard nothing but positive responses from those who have attempted to make online purchases through TIX. We have some who call or walk in for a "box office" experience, and those orders are easily handled. Since our TIX site is branded to look like our own website, many purchasers do not even recognize they have left our website to make their purchase.
TIX is exactly what we were looking for.
Pros
Patron experience is excellent. Help library is great. Customer support is excellent.
Cons
Sometimes the reports do not output to excel correctly, but the developer said this is a known issue and is being resolved.

Tix is my go-to ticketing system
I’ve been a tix.com customer for many years now and am impressed how the system continues to grow and expand with the changes in the industry. Plus, as I mentioned below, their customer service is the best.
Pros
Tix is a very friendly system to use. I like how it has all the features I need for small & mid-size events, yet their customer service treats me as if I’m their largest client. They have the BEST customer service in the industry, hands down. I’ve used them for many different events of all shapes and sized and am consistently happy and impressed.
Cons
Honestly, the only thing I can come up to complain about is that sometimes tix opens a bunch of windows and I can get confused as to which I’m working in. The good news is that it doesn’t seem to cause any issues. I just close them and start again, no harm, no foul.

The Excellent Customer Service has made working with this system a breeze!
I have worked with these people and this system for seven years working for three companies. While there are some glitches, overall the system is simple to use and the Customer Service is outstanding! They have enabled me to streamline processes that were consuming more time than humanly endurable with the automatic renewal system. They advise me of the system parameters and what it can do for me, and have educated me to use it proficiently throughout the years. They take ownership of my problems and resolve them by whatever it takes to get the job done, including being most accommodating customizing reports, seat maps, customer letters, emails, etc. as needed and adapting their programming to meet my unique needs, a rare option in this world! I have never experienced more concern for my issues and dedication to resolving them than I have with this staff of experts. They continually enhance and improve their system and incorporate my requests whenever possible. They are truly committed to excellence going above and beyond providing extraordinary Customer Service and are quick to respond to my often urgent needs and resolved issues I deemed hopeless. They listen to my problems, have eased my frustrations and spent hours and hours on the phone with me and my complications over the years. I have worked with other systems that had no one to talk with and no "phone a friend" option which I found unbearable. Although I have never met any of the staff, I regard them as my friends as I am the friend in need and they are the friends indeed!

CONS- None, totally satisfied
In 2002, we had a major country concert here at our arena. We were a manual, hard ticket box office. During the on sale we had many, many problems and opportunities, so it was at that point that we decided we needed a computer ticketing system.
We are a local government and put this out on bid. We received many bids form a variety of companies. We narrowed the choice to the top three, requested further info and had a demonstration and Tix.com was by far, always on top of the pack.
We chose Tix.com for three main reasons. 1. Ease of use for customer and staff, 2. Customers see a floor plan and able to choose their own seats and 3. 24/7 hour great customer service.
We have been TOTALLY satisfied with Tix.com and have no complaints. As the person that works the most with Tix.com and its staff, I cannot think of a greater company to work with.

Great solution for your event needs!
Tix takes out a lot of headache and small details in setting up your ticketed events. I like it a lot!
Pros
Once you set up an event, it's fairly easy to duplicate and set up any future events for each individual location. The Tix software looks like it's a part of our site once integrated.
Cons
I think it just takes some time to figure out how to make any updated changes to a new event without making changes to any previous events from the same venue or same production.
Alternatives Considered
EventbriteReasons for Choosing Tix
The payout from BrownPaperTickets wasn't until after the end of the entire production. Although, you could get some payouts prior to this, the cost would have gone up for the service.Reasons for Switching to Tix

A well layed-out system overall, with great potential.
Pros: The system is mostly user friendly on the programming and purchase sides. The staff is helpful and friendly and provide a timely response to inquiries. They also provide a good turnaround time on new programming requests.
Cons: No longer have the ability to do seat swaps and re-open orders. This option is now only available if we provide the credit card processing. With Tix customer service not available after hours, when most events take place, this has created problems on show day.
Requests: Kiosk-based software version for self-serve customer ticket purchase kiosks on day of show to reduce box office lines.
Response from Tix
David, we appreciate your comments. We've re-added the ability for you to process ticket exchanges and cancellations. The removal of that option was inadvertent and our apologies for any inconvenience it caused.
With respect to after-hours support, we are available 24/7, 365 days a year. We pride ourselves on providing a very high service level, and making sure we're there when our clients need us is of the utmost importance to us.
With respect to ticket purchase kiosks and a kiosk interface, we do have them available. We¿ll send you the specs, and purchase information.
We really do value your business. If you have any additional questions about our system or would like to obtain information about ways your organization can maximize the use of our software, please let me know.

Her prompt responses to questions were greatly appreciated!

The software was easy to use, and I don't have any recommendations for improvement.

Thanks to Steve for helping me navigate the program, our ticket sales went great! Quick response and convenient since I work eastern time evening hours and they are pacific time.
Pros
Ease of ticket sales. Nice reports to confirm profit and ticket sales.
Cons
Since I only use the program once every 6 months, I forget how to navigate the program. Thanks to customer service I manage.
