Ticketing software for the performing arts

About ThunderTix

ThunderTix is an easy-to-use event management software that caters to the performing arts and offers unmatched customer support. Sell tickets for both general admission events and assigned seating events that display each venue's layout. Increase revenues while cutting costs. Despite our unbeatable rates, ThunderTix is a robust platform with a seamless experience for users and patrons alike.

Start by utilizing our free trial to create your first event. Easily ‘replicate’ events to quickly copy event details to build an entire season in minutes. Create pricing tiers by ticket type or seating section. The customer relationship manager, mass mail, and conversion pixel tracking empower you to reach your audience. Customize email confirmations, event reminders, and tickets to include terms & conditions and sponsor ads. If you have any questions along the way you can explore vast support documentation or reach out to our 24/7/365 support team.

Pass on a fee and retain 100% of the fee revenue to cover ThunderTix costs. Or, go fee-free! Control pricing and fees to do what makes the most sense for your organization. Receive nightly deposits of all ticket proceeds to have immediate access to funds as they are processed.

Customize your ThunderTix event listing with CSS to match the styles of your website for a branded experience and inspire customer confidence with secure transactions. The box office portal allows staff to process orders on behalf of customers by phone or on-site for walk-ups. Encourage sales with packaged discounts, loyalty programs, and coupons. Customers can print tickets at home, at the box office, or present an electronic ticket to be scanned using the free App or handheld scanners.

Venues are wowed by the percentage of ticket buyers that opt to “round-up” their purchase for a small donation. Optionally give customers increased control to exchange seats, process refunds, or convert their purchase to a donation back to the venue or to a gift card as a customer credit towards a future purchase.

While welcoming patrons to your events, staff will be notified when they are checking in a donor to ensure they are thanked for their support. Create user logins for all staff and track all sales to see which reps are shining! Ease the burden of repeat weekly requests for event reports by outside performers or renters by providing them restricted access to their own events.

For those customers that aren’t quite ready for in-person events, use our free virtual streaming and video integration for virtual or hybrid events. Enable "Pay What You Can" pricing to encourage attendance for this new type of event.

View easily digestible sales graphs through your dashboard or download relevant reports. Get to know your audience better by sending automated surveys to learn what they loved! Once the last guest has left, think about how ThunderTix can serve you even better next time and head over to our feature request page to upvote or submit new feature requests. During the off-season, downgrade to maintenance mode to store data, accept donations, and sell gift cards for just $20/mo.

“Thundertix has provided us with the tools we need to make purchasing tickets to our events all over the country as user-friendly as possible. The added benefits like automated email reminders, product sales, waitlists, and email marketing options have all had a positive impact on our customers and our sales.”

“The software is incredibly user-friendly. The low per ticket cost was the greatest deciding factor for us, but we have been wowed by their customer service and breadth of features.”

We have been with ThunderTix for over a decade and we wouldn't think of even considering going anywhere else. From the beginning ThunderTix always gave us the best return on investment. The system is so easy to use from both the managing side as well as from the consumer side. Their customer service is "top notch"! In the unlikely event you encounter issues with the system, they are extremely quick to respond to emails and calls. Our theatre would highly recommend their service to anyone.

Pros

Customer Service. Lost costs. Openly request ideas from their clients to improve the system. Extremely easy to use.

Cons

None at the present time.

Really positive. I have tried similar services and this platform is a lot more comprehensive, customizable, and helpful for both user and customers.

Pros

The ease with which I can setup and manage multiple events. For the most part, any feature I want is customizable which is incredibly helpful for our small organization.

Cons

I would like to see the "required verification" to be more customizable. I use this as a liability waiver for our events and sometimes I need the language to be different for one event than the others. To my knowledge, this section located in "checkout options" has limited customizability.

I had thundertix do event seating for my nutcracker ballet . You seriously can not talk to anyone if you have a problem . I had to take it off my website because so many people called me having trouble actually completing purchases . I asked thundertix to look into it and they kept saying that things were working out just fine . I have actual emails , voicemails and video footage of how it really didn't work . They also would not give me a refund for the time I actually couldn't use it . I would be happy to show anyone this .

Pros

Nothing

Response from Thunder Data Systems

Thank you for your review. We pride ourselves on our customer support, and I am sorry that you felt this was not the case. We offer support by email for our first two tiers (included with your plan), while other tiers additionally include phone support, which we extended to you gratis.

I was relieved to see that you virtually sold out all of your Nutcracker performances, although an upgrade to our reserved seating created some challenges selling a handful of seats for a short period of time.

We would appreciate the opportunity to demonstrate our commitment to you, whether it be through the credit we offered previously, or through another course of action. I would happily continue personal telephone support. Let us know how we can help!

ThunderTix has been very easy to use and I really enjoy the reports you can pull out of there too. It keeps a lot of data for you and you can look at your customer base and see how many people have been coming to your shows, etc. We have been using it for about two years now and I really enjoy the way the database works. It helps make my life a lot easier.

Pros

ThunderTix has A LOT of flexibility about what you do or do not want to post on their site. It's very customizable depending on what your needs are. You can send pre-concert or post-concert emails as well as surveys.

Cons

Took me a little bit to learn how to use the menus.
