Ushers can use the Ticket Scanning App to scan tickets swiftly, providing live updates on the number of tickets scanned—a game-changer for streamlined entry management.

2. Seat Holds: Elevating the Season Ticket Holder Experience

For local theatres aiming to provide a premium experience for season ticket holders, TryBooking introduces Seat Holds.

This feature allows patrons to reserve their seats for all shows at the theatre.

Theatres can assign unique codes for access, ensuring season ticket holders get the seats they desire while maintaining control over booking windows.

The ability to designate specific seat blocks to particular groups adds a layer of customisation, with options for special pricing.

3. Password Protect: Managing Presales for members/ friends of the theatre.

Reward your loyal patrons with presales to your shows, before they go on sale to the general public, offer an exclusive early bird offer.

The functionality allows theatres to set passwords based on membership number, email address or a simple password.

4. Auditions: Find the perfect cast for your production

Use our timed entry system to setup auditions for your productions. Collection information from the performing on their experience, audition material and any other information you want to collect using custom forms.

Every theatre production has its own unique flair, and TryBooking recognizes the importance of this individuality.

The platform enables local theatres to create custom event pages, showcasing not only the theme of the show but also providing a platform to highlight sponsors and partners.

Creating seating plans has never been easier. TryBooking allows theatres to designate reserved seats, disability seating, and create templates for each show.

The result? Effortless design and organisation, ensuring a smooth experience for both organisers and attendees.
