PROJECT OVERVIEW
With lean teams and limited resources, arts organizations urgently need solutions that not only address operational challenges like audience visibility, fraud prevention, and actionable data but also pay for themselves quickly.
True Tickets delivered just that by uncovering shadow audiences and converting them into revenue.
CHALLENGES
- Audience visibility gaps due to shadow ticket transfers
- Revenue loss from unauthorized resellers and fraud
- Need for actionable data to justify ticketing investment
SOLUTION
- Using True Tickets’ secure digital ticket delivery with deep Tessitura integration, these four venues tracked every ticket transfer, reduced fraud with dynamic QR codes, and fed real-time patron data back into their CRM
- Deep Tessitura Integration to log each ticket event—deliveries, shares, scans—directly into the venue’s Tessitura systems
