First a big apology. We have been silent for about a month! We have been hard at work, but are excited to get back here on the blog! It’s not you, it’s me. I think we should just be friends. I’ve found someone else, I just don’t love you anymore. Breaking up is hard to do, but it […]
I am going to get a little personal this week. So my daughter turned 11 this year. At 11 she is in the throws of tweendom: the requisite eye rolling, attempts at teen-like snark are intermingled with the desire for cuddles, and protests of, “but I am still a little kid!” 11 years have positively […]
Google Analytics is a great tool. But how many of us actually go through each report and use the information to improve? Not many I would guess. And that is totally understandable – working in the arts is a busy job. But like meditation, squeezing in a little Google analytics reflection is good for your […]
Ticketsolve gets used in some pretty unique ways. Falmouth University’s integration of Ticketsolve is no exception. We spoke to James Randell, production assistant for the Academy of Music and Theatre Arts (AMATA) at Falmouth University, and learned how Ticketsolve is helping their students get real world experience on an industry leading box office solution. About […]
On the surface businesses and arts organisations don’t seem to have a lot in common. Businesses are driven entirely by profit and shareholder value. Arts organisations are not driven by profit, but rather by providing arts, cultural and community value. But just because their goals might be different start ups and arts organisations make up […]

Ewan joins Ticketsolve’s development team bringing not only an impressive technical skills, and a solid background in the arts. Ewan has over 10 years of software development […]
Chances are you have come across “crowdfunding” before. However, did you know it can help your arts organisation gain valuable exposure, create real engagement with your patrons, and of course, raise money for your projects? In this post we will explore what crowdfunding is, and how it can help with fundraising in your arts organisation. […]
Social media algorithms are something you need to know about. No seriously, keep reading we promise it is relevant. For arts organisations who rely on social media marketing (and those that are thinking about it), things have changed, but it might not be all that bad. Algorithms may seem like some strange voodoo magic 8 ball, […]
Since introducing our new MailChimp automation, we have been inundated with questions from all of our excited users, and most recently at our UK User Day. The Ticketsolve and MailChimp integration lets you automate communication with your customers based on their behaviour. To put it more simply: you can send really targeted emails, automatically to your […]
It is likely you are extremely familiar with the likes of Twitter and Facebook, for your social media marketing, but how much does your organisation use tools like Instagram and Pinterest? Is it worth including these two in your arts marketing arsenal? In this post, we will look at how Instagram and Pinterest can be a great […]
You have probably had a chat with her already (she’s pretty great right)? But we haven’t formally introduced our “newest” Ticketsolver yet – Aoife! Understanding the challenges of box office and marketing is second nature to Aoife, our newest Ticketsolver who joins us in Customer Support. Aoife has an incredible amount of box office, communications […]
In our last post, we looked at why audience segmentation is important to ROI and specific models that work well. Today, we want to take a look at some ideas to help you easily and quickly start segmenting your customers. Even with simple segmentation you can start to tailor your marketing messages (making them that […]
ROI. You are doing everything you can to maximise ROI and then some. But if you are not looking at audience segmentation you are missing out on a great ROI opportunity for your campaigns. Every theatre, arts centre or festival can look at audience segmentation, and tap into a great way to get to know your […]
So unless you’ve been living under a rock this last week, you’ll have undoubtedly noticed the biggest craze of 2016 sweeping the world, Pokémon Go. For those of you who have no idea what Pokémon is, the concept of the game is very simple,…”Gotta catch them all” (151 to be precise). Through the use of […]
Arguably, the box office is one of the most important areas of any venue. It serves as the coal face of your organisation, providing information and of course sales. But the box office is still one part of a multifaceted organisation. And if communication breaks down between these areas, and your box office you could […]
What do you get when you bring together 89 attendees from over 80 organisations who want to talk tickets? The Ticketsolve User Day of course! At the end of May, at The Complex in Dublin (great venue by the way), the Ticketsolve community came together to learn share and socialise. The day focused on analytics […]
I went to bed last Thursday night fully expecting that Britain would vote to stay in the EU, with Boris Johnson and Farage having admitted defeat. And off to noddy land I went. I awoke at 7am and my auto pilot morning routine began. First on the list: news check, only to discover Britain had voted […]
In this post we want to take Google Tools a step further and look at Google Tag Manager. We’ll take a look at exactly what GTM is, why it is important and how you can use it. What is GTM and why do you need it? GTM is a tool that lets you easily and […]
At the risk of stating the obvious – the majority of tickets sales happen online. Even for many events that have walk up sales, online is still the biggest and best opportunity for sales. For most venues, festivals, theatres, and arts and cultural centres – the main goal is how do we increase/improve online ticket […]
Measure everything, is certainly marketing – (and digital marketing in particular) – rule number one. After all, if you don’t measure your campaigns, how do you know if they are successful or not (anecdotal evidence doesn’t count)? Last year we gave you some tips on what to measure in our Are Your Marketing Campaigns Successful […]
As a company we have had the privilege to work with some amazing organisations. From festivals and theatre, to dance to tourism, the projects we have have been involved with – and perhaps more importantly the people behind them – have been outstanding. Even so, we haven’t before had the opportunity to work on an […]
We have been quite busy of late and are extremely excited to present to you our latest integration with MailChimp which brings us all kicking and screaming into the automation world.

Falmouth has been challenging creativity since its existence, and is a specialist creative, multi-arts institution for rethinking convention and outthinking challenges. Falmouth has been growing – with […]
Recently on our blog we looked at average weight of purchase (AWOP), and steps to take to help increase this very important metric. This week we want to look at a related topic: how to increase customer opt ins for email. Why Email Sign Ups are Important Email is more important now than ever; becoming like a passport […]
If you haven’t been looking to0 closely at the average weight of purchase (AWOP)/Average basket size figures for your venue, you are probably not alone. But what does AWOP mean for the arts, culture and entertainment industry, and how can you increase it? Average Weight of Purchase or AWOP is the average amount, volume, number […]
One of the most effective ways to reach your customers is email marketing. Email marketing is a no brainer: it is 40 times better at getting customers than Facebook and Twitter, and compared to social media and it offers 17 percent higher conversion rates. But sending an email is one thing – getting a potential […]
Your audience is changing. Read anything about the arts, culture and entertainment industry, and it seems technology is rushing ahead, changing audiences as it goes. It’s enough to leave you in a cold sweat. It’s probably not that hard to guess how your audience is changing either. Whether you are talking about baby boomers, generation […]
We’ve talked a lot about growth hacking, and if you have been following along on our case studies, you probably have a sense of what it can achieve. But, you may still want a clearer picture on what growth hacking actually is and what it can do for you. Growth Hacking is a marketing method, […]
We are please to announce that we have been accepted as a supplier of the Government’s Digital Marketplace under the G-Cloud 7 Framework. The Digital Marketplace allows the public sector to easily purchase cloud-based technologies, revolutionising the procurement process. By using the G-Cloud framework, organisations can now purchase Ticketsolve directly from the framework. This removes […]
Mobile growth is increasing, particularly smartphone use. This increase in usage means that more and more customers expect (and in some cases demand), to be able to use their mobile phone for any and all services. Browsing for shows, purchasing tickets and entry to shows are all on customers radars.
Growth hacking was first developed by technology startups as a cost effective and fast way to build growth. It uses data, social media and viral marketing to rapidly build a customer base and exposure. Growth hacking allows companies with small marketing budgets to test marketing ideas (and change those ideas) quickly and cheaply. Companies such as […]
Digital marketing allows unprecedented data collection, analyses and tracking. Luckily there are a host of tools that can help manage, track and define your data. Some basic tools are free – Google being your first stop. Check out some recommended tools at SproutSocial.
A core of digital marketing is integration. And with Digital, integration is easier than you think. Take an example of a Christmas show. Your email marketing, Twitter, Facebook campaign, Instagram, etc., can utilise an integrated, scheduled campaign to build over time. In addition, you can pull these elements into any traditional marketing you may decide […]
Loyalty. Perfect for day 8. Customer loyalty is not easy for sure. Especially when it comes to arts and culture, but digital marketing has some tricks up its sleeve to help build customer loyalty. Digital’s use of networks (social networks) and communication tools allow you to connect with your customers in ways that were possible […]
This one might seem like it is not applicable to your venue. But a venue specific app, is a great way for your customers to connect with you in a new and different way. It is a great way to build content and loyalty and doesn’t have to cost much. Apps have been on the […]
Conversions, conversions, conversions. That is the name of the game. It isn’t enough to get likes on Facebook, retweets or even hits on your website. The key is getting those maybe customers into sales. Certainly having a presence on the right channels helps, as does direct sales opportunities such as Facebook selling (Ticketsolve can help you sell […]
Digital allows you to do more, that much is clear. One of the advantages that Ticketsolve gives you with digital is cross selling, up selling, discounts, promotions and merchandise. Customers are presented with seamlessly integrated extras such as concessions, merchandise etc., alongside their ticket purchase. These prompts can be customised as required for maximum impact. […]
Okay, we know it isn’t really a gift, but data is your key to understanding your customers. However, without really understanding what your data is telling you, putting that information into action, then analysing the results (and changing what you have to), data won’t mean much. With Ticketsolve’s automatic Google analytics integration, and data capture […]
Automation. Not something new we realise, but a great digital gift nonetheless. Digital allows you to automate many activities, especially in the areas of customer communication. Ticketsolve, has inbuilt automation such as auto alerts (emails that can be set to be sent automatically before or after shows), auto reports that automatically send a set of reports […]
Content would be our next digital gift. But not just any content, rather, human, customised content. One of the big areas for marketers and managers alike is to give customers real, meaningful, human content. The hard sell doesn’t work anymore (discounts and offers do of course), customers want to see the real organisation – and social networks allow […]
If you had a digital true love the first present would have to be responsive design. We’ve talked about responsive design before, and it is really the first step to getting solid digital. The reason of course is that responsive design allows you to take your website from mobile to tablet and beyond regardless of […]
As the holiday approaches, and we near the new year, we wanted to take a moment to send our best wishes to everyone. We hope you have a wonderful and peaceful Christmas and holiday season.
This time of year it is all about the trends for the coming year. To that end, we wanted to take a quick look at where ticketing – especially in the arts and cultural arena – is headed. Broadly speaking there are three big trends: improving the customer experience, drive to digital and utilising data. Understandably […]

Ah loyalty. Webster’s defines it as “a strong feeling of support or allegiance to someone or something.” For businesses loyalty, is the holy grail for customer relationships. After all, a loyal customer buys more and spends more. In the arts, culture and entertainment world it is the difference between repeat, long standing customers and those that come only […]
Most arts, culture and entertainment venues have engaged in secondary revenue streams. From food and drink to merchandise, secondary revenue can make up to 20% of additional revenue for organisations. But how do you get secondary revenue streams working hard for you? How do you ensure you keep the balance of maximising revenue versus happy […]
Summer is over. Kids are back to school, there is a chill in the air, and pumpkin is infusing our coffee suddenly. Seems to be a good time to take a quick look back, and see how the Spring/Summer festival season went for our Ticketsolve community. 200,000 Tickets 750 million euros of festival tickets, accounting for […]
Over the years we have strived to bring on board the best possible people to join our team here at Ticketsolve. We think we have managed to bring together a hard working, bright – and perhaps slightly off centre – group of people who are dedicated to our customer community. Our latest Ticketsolver is no […]
Creating engaging, appealing content for social platforms is not easy. Creating a Facebook page, and filling it with boring content (or worse – condescending content), will do little to build a good relationship with your customers. At worse it will actively drive them away. With 50% of people trusting a company’s Facebook page over their […]
Measuring success of marketing campaigns can be a minefield at times. Exactly what you need to measure and how you go about measuring it is hotly debated amongst novice and expert marketers alike.

Because support is such a critical part of our business – and importantly for our customer community – finding a real […]
If you do any type of online marketing (and who doesn’t do some these days), you may have come across social media advertising. The ROI delivered from social media advertising can seem too good to be true, “£60 will deliver my advert to how many?!” But, look a little deeper, and you may start to […]
What is Eircode? Ireland’s new postcode system has now launched and is designed to enable people and businesses to find every address in Ireland easily. What does this mean for Ticketsolve customers? Most importantly, Ticketsolve is already designed to facilitate the use of postcodes and has a unique field for this. It can be made […]
You might remember earlier this year, when Jameson Dublin International Film Festival announced mobile scanning at this year’s festival. Using Ticketsolve’s integrated scanning technology, the entire 2015 festival used 2-D mobile scanning for ticket entry at every venue participating in the festival. “We wanted to make it easier for our audience to purchase tickets online, and on […]
The Telegraph’s recent article about whether or not arts requires more funding in Manchester focused on the idea that spending needs to be redirected to more important quality of life projects.

1.2 million. 1.2 million people voted in favour of marriage equality, 22 years after homosexuality was decriminalised in Ireland, and 5 years after same-sex civil unions were protected. What has put Ireland in the history books is how our legalisation for gay marriage came to be, not through legislation – which is how most countries […]

This week’s blog post comes courtesy of Philip Greene at Villa Gaiety. A venue is most definitely the sum of its parts – marketing, techies, the guys holding the purse strings. But like any well oiled machine, there is the linchpin – the central nervous system of the venue: The box office. While there are a myriad of […]

During his student days, he was lucky enough to get a part time job at Carmarthenshire Theatres, which lead him to his passion for arts […]
We recently launched mobile or e-ticket scanning with Jameson International Film Festival.

Contextual awareness – a specific action or location can trigger a certain action or operation – typically on a mobile device. It is responsiveness taken to a whole other level. Contextual awareness has some really interesting possibilities for the arts sector – in this blog we will provide an introduction and explore some of the possibilities. Responsive […]
How do you value your business? Number of staff? Total number of sales? Assets? A successful business isn’t just measured by figures alone, but how efficiently it can preform and still hit targets. Take for example Tesla. The electric car company based in California has produced 500,000 cars since 2003 with 6,000 employees and a […]
If you follow the Guardian Arts online (and I know you do), you likely saw Chris Bryant’s comment on the arts world needing more diversity (there was no missing James Blunt’s response and Chris Bryant’s response to the response). Around the time of Blunt-Bryantgate I was reading an article about technology’s high barrier to entry for the underprivileged. […]
So what should we expect to be big in 2015 on the technology front? Here is what you can expect from the average to the extreme. Wearables Wearables are still relatively new. And although pick up has been anything but stellar, expect to see more wearables coming out the market, that smaller and pack more […]
Happy New Year! We trust your holiday season was good. Our customers had a busy holiday season, and one piece of feedback that struck me was a customer who commented, “I have to say I didn’t think scalability really applied to us. I was (happily) wrong – we had some unexpectedly popular shows over the holidays.” So is […]
Bacon Theatre is a medium-scale venue on the site of Dean Close School, Cheltenham, providing a teaching and leisure resource for the school.

We chatted with Bacon […]
We don’t usually write about things like this here, but this really got under our skin. Yesterday we tweeted about a story that appeared in the LA Times about a theatre writer who has been barred from getting free tickets by a broadway press agent. Why? She wrote an article in the WSJ about often leaving […]

We have been feeling rather nostalgic here at Ticketsolve. #LoveTheatre got us thinking about how Ticketsolve got its start. This is our story from technology consultancy to working with some seriously inspiring and creative organisations in the UK and Ireland. 8 years ago the Ticketsolve founders were running a technology consultancy company. Their goal was to […]
Beacon technology has been around for a while. The UK is finally catching up, but will beacons help or hinder the ever critical customer experience? We look at what beacons are, how they might work in a theatre, venue or festival environment, and what it takes to get it right. What are Beacons? Beacons or […]
While growing and finding new audiences is at the forefront for arts marketers, so too is keeping the audiences you have. Loyal customers account for only 20% of total customers, but are drivers for 80% of revenue – and customer retention is certainly less expensive than bringing on new customers. With that in mind, we look at […]
If I hear the word “recession” or “crisis” again, (or for that matter, “rain” and “wind”) I will crack up. To be fair, given the current state of affairs, anything that is cost effective and cost efficient is welcome. So how can Ticketsolve help you save time and money? Ticketsolve is in the Cloud We […]

So not long ago I was trying to make a purchase online. It was a wedding present for a friend, so it was not only expensive – I really needed to get it right (don’t judge me, but the wedding was a month ago). But something was going very wrong with my order. I must have […]
There was a wonderful article last month in the Guardian about the future of circuses in Britain. What was striking was the positivity, and the strides that modern circus performance has been making. Given the recent inclusion of circuses in tax relief for theatre, this is a great step forward. Ancient circuses were focused on […]
The Irish Times Culture section ran an article today about the demise of Waterford’s Red Kettle Theatre Company. The company goes into liquidation after 30 years on the go due to trading difficulties. The Irish Times reported that while the company has toured throughout Europe, it has been mainly performing in Ireland for the last […]
You’ve probably read about the growth of the experience economy in business circles. That is, the notion that you can sell an experience alongside a product. Of course this is exactly what theatre, tourism attractions, ice venues, sports arenas and the like have provided for years – an experience. But there is an important distinction here […]
Cognitive fluency may sound like an odd topic for our blog, but it has a huge impact on our decision making. Cognitive fluency means how easy it is to think about something. By and large this what our brains prefer. The harder your brain has to work – the more it balks at working. We prefer […]

Wimbledon, The World Cup, British Open, Royal Ascot, your kids under 8’s football match. How are prices set?

There is a lot of talk about “user friendly” when it comes to ticketing and box office software. But what does user friendly really mean?
