Pros & cons

Our summary from this vendor's published pricing, features and sources.

✓Pros

  • Salesforce-native: ticketing, CRM and fundraising share one database, and staff sign in with Salesforce SSO.
  • Arts-focused: season passes, memberships, donations and email marketing.
  • Implementation, migration and training provided by the vendor.
  • The most popular pricing model has buyers pay per-ticket fees instead of the organization.

–Cons

  • Starts at $23,000 per company per year on its Salesforce AppExchange listing; per-ticket rates are not published.
  • Contract-based and priced for larger arts organizations rather than small groups.
  • Missing a few tools others include: no gift cards, volunteer tools, SMS marketing or ticketing-specific public API found.
