How it works
Positickets is a computerised box-office that you can simply 'plug into' and run your ticketing more efficiently and more easily.To enable you to use the system, register yourself and your society, group or company on Positickets and start using our FREE Positickets Box-Office service straight away. You can upgrade one or more of your shows/events to Positickets Credit Card service at any time by paying a one-off fee per show/event (see below).
Use Positickets Box-Office to run as many shows or events as you want. Each show or event gets its own space on the site, allowing you to manage it effectively with your team. You can easily construct a seating plan from an almost infinitely variable template, so that your team can see what seats are available (you can also let your audience see the seating plan, updated in real time, if you wish).
When a buyer calls by phone or into a physical location (local shop / library or whoever helps you sell your tickets), the person taking the enquiry can
- see immediately what seats are available
- instantly allocate chosen seats to the buyer - blocking off anyone else from selling them
- arrange payment - by cheque, on the door, or whatever other means are usually followed.
All people selling tickets therefore work with fully updated information at all times. During the sales period and at the end of the show, full reports are instantly available, showing the number of seats sold, the prices charged, the total revenue, etc.
You have two options as to how the ticket is delivered:
- Postal - where you receive notification of tickets sold through the site, so you can post the tickets directly to the buyer or leave them on the door
- E-tickets - where no physical ticket exists (so you don't have the print costs); you simply check off arrivals against a master list we provide you, with each person confirming their identity by a unique reference number we send them at confirmation of booking. Plus, they can also pre-pay for their show programme, making the whole transaction easier and speeding up the queue!
If you upgrade your show/event for a flat fee per production to Positickets Credit Card (see details below), you can then start accepting credit/debit card payments online as well - making sales substantially easier and more convenient for your ticket-buyers and helping you to sell more tickets. For this you will need a credit/debit card merchant account - which can easily be applied for. If you don't already have one, we recommend WorldPay, Protx or ePDQ (Barclays). Once you have entered your merchant account details, you are ready to start accepting credit/debit card payments. Ticket buyers will then be able to click directly onto an available seat and pay for it immediately online with their credit card.
You will also be able to add a booking charge per ticket, to cover the credit/debit card fees. It is up to you how much you add, so you can ensure your costs are covered. For example, in order to cover the cost of upgrading one event to Positickets Credit Card (£125), you would need to specify a £0.50 booking fee, providing you sell 250 tickets. This booking fee will be automatically added to each ticket sold, and will be clearly displayed during each transaction.
