About AudienceView

AudienceView Professional is a cloud-based ticketing software designed for the performing arts industry, suitable for both not-for-profit and commercial uses, including small and large theaters, performing arts centers, music venues, museums, festivals, events, and exhibitions. Users can manage ticket prices, sell individual event tickets, subscriptions, and memberships, receive one-off and recurring donations, send email updates to patrons, track and analyze patron activities, generate reports, and more.

AudienceView offers dynamic pricing capabilities which enable users to specify ticket prices for different events, seating areas, and individual seats. Seats can be moved, and ticket prices can be changed even when the show is on sale. Tickets can be sold online through customizable web pages, or through AudienceView Professional's in-house call center. Users can customize their ticketing page with their own branding, layout, and text, and design their own ticket layouts and receipts. A range of subscription and membership packages can be offered to patrons, with varying levels of flexibility, and free or discounted tickets can be presented in return for donations above a certain level. Donors can make one-off donations, and monthly, quarterly, or annual recurring donations which are collected automatically by the built-in automated billing system.

AudienceView Professional includes a fully-integrated CRM, enabling users to capture and record data including attendance, demographic data, donor, member, and subscriber histories, tasks, notes, and more. Segmented lists can be created for fundraising, communications, and marketing, and automated pre- and post-show emails can be sent with tailored messages to update patrons and cultivate relationships. Conversions and ROI can be tracked in real time, and users can generate itemized sales reports and analyze sales trends over time.

    Everyone has been very open to feedback and notify users right away when new features roll out. For example, I was thrilled when Development Notes were added to report output.

    Pros

    I appreciate how easy it is to set up, manage, and follow up on our events throughout the season. It is especially powerful to be able to track an audience member's 360* participation from first RSVP, to package buyer, to donor.

    Cons

    The "Communications" functions, which essentially track appeals sent, are not as searchable and report-friendly as I would like.

    Alternatives Considered

    Brown Paper Tickets, Spektrix and Eventbrite

    Reasons for Choosing AudienceView

    We were establishing our first box office.

    Reasons for Switching to AudienceView

    We wanted something "industry standard" that new job applicants might already know, and something that could grow with us.

    Response from AudienceView

    Hi Hillary,

    Thank you so much for the review and for the feedback about the Communications Tool. That is definitely a feature that we are looking to improve so I will share your feedback with our product team.

    Thanks again!

    The Vineyard uses OvationTix for both our ticketing functions as well as a fundraising and donor database platform. For an organization our size with a lot of users who need different things from the software, it's a very good system.

    Pros

    The software is super easy to use and, for the most part, logically/intuitively organized.

    Cons

    The reporting functions exist in two different locations, and it's not always obvious where I should start when looking for specific information.

    Alternatives Considered

    DonorPerfect

    Reasons for Switching to AudienceView

    Primarily cost and ease of use. DonorPerfect doesn't offer ticketing support.

    Response from AudienceView

    Hi Penn, thanks so much for your feedback about OvationTix. We are glad to hear that it's a good fit for The Vineyard! We are constantly striving to improve our functionality, and that includes reporting - so be on the lookout for updates there soon :)

    AudienceView was a stop gap measure for our company. It served its purpose while we had it, but ultimately we found more powerful and user-friendly ticket management.

    Pros

    AudienceView is certainly a budget-friendly option for organizations that need to sell tickets and manage events.

    Cons

    I did not find the software to be intuitive, and pulling reports is burdensome. Accessing and analyzing historical ticket/attendance information is not simple.

    We used to have ticketing and donations in two separate software which was a nightmare. Having everything in one system is very beneficial.

    Pros

    Do not get me wrong, this product is good. It has a variety of options but sometimes has weird dead-ends on the back end or functions in odd ways. It is definitely a better option than what we had. I enjoy it and will keep using it, would love to see some new features.

    Cons

    As I mentioned above, sometimes you run into dead-ends. I wish there was a bi-annual check-in where I could talk to someone about features and what we would love to see. Directly integrated marketing, not using Mial Chimp or another software, truly an AVP marketing feature would be ideal.

    We've been using OvationTix since its inception. With dozens of shows throughout the year, including many for which we function purely as Presenters, the functionality of OvationTix has been crucial to our success. Our presented productions can monitor and see the success of their shows, and we can manage the overall process. We enjoy working with OvationTix so much that we began using it to track all of our donations years ago.

    Pros

    - Sales Format is customizable to match your website, so customers don't know they're going off-site to purchase their tickets
    - Easy to add packages, products and donations to the offerings
    - Easy to set up numerous shows and events throughout the year and share access to box office information to select individuals for select productions
    - Ability to track all donor activity, including donations, attendance at shows, and product purchases (such as Auction wins or merchandise sales)
    - Ability to sort donors by category or campaign
    - Ability to have multiple donor campaigns for multiple projects
    - The online format allows our Development Staff to work remotely when necessary because all donor information is on the cloud

    Cons

    The ability to track pledges and offset them with donations is still in development. We'd like to be able to track a donation for its intended fiscal year, but that feature is not currently available. It would also be nice to be able to track Grant Deadlines and activity, as one can do with some of the more expensive programs.

    Response from AudienceView

    You're taking full advantage of our fundraising and ticketing functions! We're continuing to work on enhancements to both. The new "Donor Profile" view may be of interest to you and yes, continued development on pledges and fiscal year changes is in process. If she hasn't been in touch already, Melissa, your account executive, will be in touch with you shortly to demonstrate some new pledge functionality that might address your current need. Please keep checking your email for the newsletter as these enhancements will keep rolling out for you and all of our nonprofit partners.
