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.

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.”

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.

Simple, Straightforward Ticketing with Excellent Support

Reviewed on 02/12/2021

The experience has been very positive over all. I find that other ticketing software I have used...

The experience has been very positive over all. I find that other ticketing software I have used make it possible to do everything and impossible to do anything. They get so bogged down in customizability that it makes it very difficult to make the most basic thing a ticketing software needs: the ability to sell tickets. Our organization is a small, 100% volunteer community theatre. Without staff, using a software that has a million bells and whistles but takes months to master just wasn't an option for us. ThunderTix was immediately very easy to use. Once I did about an hour's worth of set up and purchasing, sent in our seating map, and uploaded our contact list, everything was really straight forward and intuitive. Not to mention, for moments where something might not be as clear, there's a unique amount of amazing documentation and videos provided by the staff that make it a lot easier for our volunteers. Their support is awesome and they take recommendations and bug reports really seriously. It sort of has a "local business" feel to it.

Pros

ThunderTix is cost-effective compared to other options on the market. It's easy to use with intuitive and thoughtful configuration. The design is empathetic and prioritizes access in a way that is refreshing for ticket software. The support is outstanding and their documentation is comprehensive. Our customers think the process is seamless and clear, and we have had no reports of a negative customer experience to date.

Cons

Support is awesome, but figuring out how to contact them can get convoluted because it's clear they want to lead you to their truly excellent documentation first. That's fine for "how do I" style questions, but makes reporting bugs pretty difficult. When we were setting up ThunderTix, it kind of felt like we were paying for every little thing: venue configuration, having reserved tickets, purchasing our POS equipment, etc.-- we didn't feel misled by the indicated pricing on the website, though, simply because those are primarily one time expenses.

Reasons for Choosing ThunderTix

Vendini was acquired by AudienceView, and they bumped up the cost astronomically during the acquisition. Also, I was formerly a box office manager as a profession and I worked in AudienceView Unlimited. I knew it was overly complicated and would cause many headaches for our volunteers, so I wanted to try to streamline while also saving some money as well.

Reasons for Switching to ThunderTix

Cost and simplicity were our biggest determining factors. We enjoyed the trial and the sales rep we worked with was very kind, helpful, and wasn't at all pushy.

Response from Thunder Data Systems

I love the fact that you find our system easy for volunteers to use, Renae! Our design team spends a huge time on little things to make it easy.

And how about those support reps? They are anything but unsung heroes to our clients, and I know they'll appreciate your words. So, thank you!

I'm truly sorry you felt dinged by small fees. We really strive to be the perfect price point for smaller organizations, so we obviously have some work to do to explain any extras. Some costs such as hardware of course, are required to be passed on to the customer.

By venue configuration, perhaps you mean the seating chart setup. We are looking at DIY processes to allow you to create them on your own, but we're not there yet. We'll keep improving areas for self-help to help small organizations feel confident in their choices.

Thank you for your valuable feedback and, of course, your stellar rating.

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

Cons

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!

We have been using Thundertix for nearly three years, and have been big fans of the software from the beginning, but their response to changing needs during the COVID-19 crisis have made us ThunderTix fans for life. The Thundertix team has quickly and efficiently continued to add new features that are critical during this time. The newly added options to bulk refund tickets to gift certificates and add automated social distancing seating charts are GAME CHANGERS for our industry right now. They have saved our staff hours of time and energy by implementing easy to use, effective features. Plus, they are in my opinion the absolute best bang for your buck that you can get in a ticketing software. They have lower per ticket rates than most of their competitors with superior service.

Pros

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 are a non-profit theatre company that operates 10 small venues (sub 300 seats). Things we love: assigned seating, easy transfer and refund options, PDF tickets, unlimited user accounts (we have lots of ticketing volunteers), integrated email, offer to round up to nearest $5 for donation, bulk discount code creation, season tickets, pre and post event surveys.

Cons

We would like to see more versatility within season tickets, such as creating season or package tickets across multiple venues. We would like to see additional versatility with coupon codes, such as creating a code that can be used only once per person.

Response from Thunder Data Systems

I read that Covid gave companies a chance to shine by innovating to help meet clients through a very uncertain future. Proclaiming you are ThunderTix fans for life suggests we took that idea to heart -- and succeeded! Thank you for recognizing the contributions our engineering team made.

Of course, pivoting took some wind out of our sails with respect to our product road map. But I'm thrilled to share that today, we support mixed general and reserved seating over multiple seat maps for season package tickets. Hopefully, as doors begin to open, you're enjoying those changes.

Your ideas help sway our direction, so please share your coupon ideas on our feature request board. I'll cross my fingers that they become part of our platform.

Thank you for your beautiful comments!
