TRUE TICKETS

SECURE DIGITAL TICKET DELIVERY

SECURE TICKET DELIVERY

DYNAMIC QR CODES REDUCE FRAUD AND ABUSE

Patrons access digital tickets in their branded ticket wallet, a hyper-performant web application for fast mobile loading.  True Tickets digital tickets display a dynamic QR code that continuously refreshes to reduce fraud and duplicate scans; expired codes scan as invalid. Each scan pings True Tickets for real-time validation. Ticket transfers and other interactions sync back into Tessitura, and write to “Order Seat History” for a complete audit trail. QR code refresh requires only 200 bytes. You can generate several thousand QR codes for roughly the same bandwidth as a single print-at-home PDF.

PASSWORD-LESS LOGIN

 

Patrons request a secure access code, open the branded ticket wallet in any browser, and add tickets to Apple Wallet with one press—no password needed.

CUSTOM CONTENT BLOCKS

PERSONALIZED MESSAGING THAT LIVES ON EACH TICKET

Custom content blocks are a simple tool that drives engagement and incremental revenue. Deliver custom content above or below the QR code, tailored by event or ticket to promote anything you want an attendee to see as they use their tickets:

  • Upsell offers (parking vouchers, future events) 
  • Sponsorship recognition and messaging 
  • Surprise and delight campaigns 
  • Pre-show tips (arrival guidance, accessibility info, parking tips, special instructions) 
  • Benefits redemption and reminders (drink vouchers, merchandise discounts, lounge access) 

TICKET SHARING

True Tickets’ lets you specify who can share, when they can share, and how many times a ticket can change hands- all right inside Tessitura. Rules cascade from global → performance → price type → individual patron, so your team can tighten or relax policies without IT requests.

HOW IT WORKS

  1. Share button appears only if rules allow
  2. Ticket holder taps Share in the branded ticket wallet, selects tickets, and sends link to Invitee
  3. Invitee clicks link, logs in or registers a new account, and accepts the shared ticket with dynamic QR code
  4. Each share writes data back to Tessitura in real time, giving you the guest’s name, email, and details about each step of the process

KEY BENEFITS

  • Reveal your shadow audience™ (91% of transfers are accepted)
  • Each share writes the contact information and email from accepted transfers into Tessitura CRM.
  • Target your revealed shadow audience with marketing campaigns that foster loyalty, drive repeat attendance, and increase revenue
  • Limit unauthorized resale, price gouging, and abuse with sharing rules
  • Simplify ticket sharing experience for your patrons and their guests
TAKE BACK CONTROL OF THE SECONDARY MARKET

PATRONSAFE™ TICKET RESALE

PatronSafe Ticket Resale let's your patrons list tickets authorized for resale in three taps, with no new sign-ups required.

Toggle on resale by performance or price type, set price caps or floors, and let us handle instant listing. Listings post instantly to 12+ marketplaces—StubHub, SeatGeek, GoTickets and more.

When a ticket sells, we remove it from every other site to prevent duplicate sales, deliver a secure dynamic QR code to the new buyer’s ticket wallet, and sync their name and contact information back into Tessitura.

Finance teams love the automated Stripe payouts (with a net-zero impact on Tessitura GL records), and box-office staff see far fewer “I paid but can’t get in” calls.

  • Ethical pricing — Enforce pricing caps to keep tickets fair

  • Commission revenue — Automatically collect resale fees

  • First-party data — Resale buyers sync as new CRM records in real time

  • Proven in the field — Successfully launched by Walton Arts Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas
