Positickets

Running the box office for a school show can be a complex and time-consuming task.

Now there’s Positickets – a web-based system that makes box office management significantly easier, quicker and less demanding, and has proven to be an ideal solution for school productions.

Setting up a show on Positickets takes only a few minutes, allowing management of the box office to start immediately. A seating plan can be built so that each sale can be allocated to a seat in real time – avoiding potential double-booking and giving a visual overview of seats allocated. Different pricing for different seating types / performance dates can also be accommodated.

The key information can be input as each sale or ticket allocation is made – such as the name and contact details of the booker, the performance / date / seats allocated and the method of payment used (unless tickets are free). When payment is received, this can be quickly entered into the system.

Positickets then produces reports showing which tickets are paid and can be sent out, and the details / address of the booker. Alternatively, Positickets can send tickets out automatically as emails – making the administration even easier.

All these features are available to your school completely FREE – so improving your box office management can be achieved without increasing the budget!

If, however, you want to enable your audience to buy tickets online by credit card, this can be set up for a small fee per show (no annual costs or long-term commitments). Funds are deposited directly into your ParentPay account – so you can reduce administration even further and increase sales!

John Jackson of The Windsor Boys School says:
‘A busy school has many demands on the time of its staff, and Positickets has been a godsend for us, releasing staff to get on with the myriad of tasks involved in putting on a major production. The ability for users to buy tickets on-line, 24 hours a day in the frenzied approach to the first night has also increased our ticket sales by some 30%, allowing our community the chance to choose their seats, and giving us an instant update on how sales are progressing without too many tears! I cannot imagine going back to our old system of reply slips and cash.’
