BOX OFFICE SYSTEM

Onsite and Cloud-based solutions enable you to run a fully featured box office system. Depending on your exact needs, options range from simple low-cost setups up to comprehensive multi-station touchscreen POS systems with cash drawers, receipt printers, ticket printers, wireless scanners, onsite backup servers, etc.
WIRELESS SCANNERS

Our iPhone based wireless ticket scanners are easy to use, versatile, and extremely fast. Training takes no more than a few minutes to become an expert. Your staff will be able to easily scan ticket stock, print-at-home tickets, digital tickets off of phones, as well as look up and check in will call orders.
PRINT TICKETS ONSITE

Low cost option (Epson)
Print low cost barcoded tickets on receipt paper using Epson thermal printers. By using off-the-shelf 80mm receipt paper, you can print receipts and tickets all on the same paper at a very economical price.

High quality Thermal (Boca)
Print professional quality tickets onsite using Boca thermal printers. The tickets can be fully customized with your own artwork, holograms, tear stubs, and UV ink. This is the most professional solution.
Employee Management

Each staff member can be setup with their own pin-based login to access the box office and wireless scanners. The level of access can be fully customized for each person and every action is fully logged for security and auditing purposes.
Membership & Loyalty Programs

Create custom membership or VIP cards with your own artwork on the front and back. Use these cards to grant special member-only discounts, receive incentives and perks based on past buying habits, or gain access to special member-only events.
Cloud-Based Infrastructure

Purplepass utilizes the world’s most powerful and reliable cloud-based infrastructure which provides for the most dependable ticketing system possible. An additional benefit of being in the cloud is that you have access to your system at anytime from anywhere. Update your guest list from home or view real-time admission stats from the Purplepass smartphone app from anywhere in the world.
Universal Access To Your Ticketing Platform

Access your entire ticketing system from anywhere in the world at any time from any device. When on the go, this level of flexibility is crucial in order to keep things running smooth back at the venue.
Smartphones & Tablets

The word is out – Smartphones are in! They are taking over daily life and your box office solution is no different. Our wireless scanners are based on the easy-to-use iPhone with a special barcode scanner attached. Free smartphone apps for iOS and Android allow you to also scan tickets, check in will call orders, look up orders, and view real-time admission stats. iPad based POS systems are also available for the ultimate sleek and streamlined box office setup.
Architecture Options

Cloud-Based
This low-cost option allows you to run your box office in the clouds using your own hardware. This is our most popular solution as it allows for a fast setup that is cost effective yet still provides a comprehensive set of functionality including onsite ticket printing, receipt printing, cash drawers, wireless scanners, etc.

Onsite Server
For mission-critical configurations, we offer our onsite server solution. This provides a fault-tolerant setup which will allow the box office terminals and wireless scanners to continue operating at full speed even if the internet goes down or in the unlikely event of a website issue.

Box Office Solutions

Whether you like the traditional paper list or fancy the use of professional wireless scanners, iPad based POS terminals, and mission-critical onsite redundancy servers, Purplepass has you covered. Our iPhone based wireless scanners are simple to use, battery operated, and even have built-in Verizon internet which allow you to create completely mobile points of admission.

Our web-based box office solution allows you to use any laptop, netbook, or computer to scan tickets, check in will call, look up orders, void/replace tickets, sell at the door via cash/credit, view real-time admission stats, and even print tickets and receipts on Epson receipt printers and/or Boca ticket printers.

iPad based mobile POS terminals are available as well which create the ultimate combination of power and simplicity – With a built-in ticket scanner, credit card reader, and Verizon 4G internet, you can setup the ultimate user friendly box office that is the truly mobile.

Since the entire system is cloud-based, everything talks to everything. This allows you to setup any combination of options to create a truly customized solution. You can setup a mix laptops and iPads to run the box office, scan tickets using the professional wireless scanners, and even view real-time sales and admission stats from anywhere in the world through the website or your Purplepass app on your phone.

Centralized Guest list Management

When your event comes around, everyone seems to be your best friend. Easily manage your guest list for friends, family, media, artists, production, staff, and even volunteers. Add them to the will call list or instantly email them their tickets, allowing your guests to go directly to the entrance and allowing you to completely do away with a guest list window at your event. You can even delegate access to team members so they can manage the guest list.

Season Passes &
Series packages

Flexible season & series pass features allow you to create any sort of package offer you can imagine. You can control exactly how revenue is distributed across the events, assigned seating is fully supported, and you can event allow guests choose their own show times for each of your productions. These are critical features for theatres and performing art centers. If you are organizing a multi-day event or set of events, these tools allow you to create any sort of custom package or pass you can imagine.

Coupon/Promo Codes

You can create a wide variety of coupon/discount codes including fixed price discount, percentage discount, combo deals (e.g. Buy 1 get 1 free), or even tracking-only codes. There are advanced options as well such as limiting the number of times a code can be used, requiring a min/max number of tickets, restricting to certain ticket types, setting when the coupons will be valid or expire, and even have discounts automatically trigger when criteria is met. There is no limit to the number of codes you can create.

24/7/365
Telephone Support

Your customers will be able to call 24/7/365 for customer support and to place orders over the phone. You even have the ability to pass information to the telephone support staff so they are knowledgeable about the specifics for your event. For example, let’s say the main street leading to the venue was closed for construction. You can pass a note onto the phone support staff to let them know to tell customers they should take an alternative route.
