" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 October 22, 2026 Pulling off Aviation Day requires a lot of moving parts, but AttendStar made the entire process feel effortless. From customer service and setup to the website, hardware devices, and post-event wrap-up, their team delivered a masterclass in professionalism, kindness, and expertise. They didn't just meet our expectations—they completely blew them out of the water and helped us achieve a massive success. Pros From start to finish, working with AttendStar was an absolute game-changer for our event. Their end-to-end support—covering everything from initial customer onboarding and system setup to the ticketing website, physical devices, and post-event wrap-up—was truly seamless. Every single team member we interacted with demonstrated an extraordinary level of professionalism, genuine kindness, and deep industry expertise that completely blew us away. They anticipated our needs, went above and beyond to exceed our expectations, and played a critical role in making our event an overwhelming success. Cons Honestly, the only area for improvement we can think of is that they need to expand their business faster—more event organizers need to be using a platform and team this good! We could not be more grateful for their partnership. Thank you, AttendStar!

We've only used it for smaller events, but it's been great. I'd recommend it to anyone selling tickets to an event for the first time. Pros We are not an events company and only sell tickets to special events a couple times a year. AttendStar was exactly what we needed: it was easy to set up and use, the customer service was great, and we only got positive feedback from those buying the tickets. It's not a tool we use often, but it's a program that services its exact purpose and does it well, when we need to use it. I'd give it the highest ratings. Cons Our team hasn't experienced any cons with the software. Everything worked as it was supposed to - this was the perfect solution for us.

Pros I have used three ticketing systems, and AttendStar is by far my favorite for our industry, primarily due to their support. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\], in particular, has a passion for our industry (airshows) and he has been very supportive. Having worked with many airshow CFOs, he understands my position and my area of concerns and willingly shares with me the knowledge he has obtained from other customer on similar accounting issues (even issues outside of the scope of Attendstar). He sees both the big and little picture of our business and no detail is missed when it comes to resolving problems. Every time I talk to AttendStar, I always receive something of value; unlike other ticketing companies where I've spent hours of wasted time being transfer from one customer service representative to another, with still no resolution to the problem at hand. Also, there is flexibility with the system and the setup was easy. Cons Stripe, the merchant account they recommended was not up to par because of their lack of customer service and them trying to hold considerable amount of our money as hostage while they tried to force us to satisfy some unnecessary requirements that was neither documented in a contract nor discussed at inception. But, luckily the merchant can be changed to our preference. PA Pastor Pastor ### "It's okay I guesss" 3.0 Overall Rating 3.0 3.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 3.0 3.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 5/10 May 17, 2017 Set up was fairly easy. The service cost more than I expected. Most frustrating, our event did not show up in the attendstar event list, I have no idea why. Pros Ease of use Cons Interface is too busy, not a very nice landing screen. I did not think it was a great value. OW Owner Owner Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Great Customer Service" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 January 29, 2017 We are a smaller venue and on-line ticket sales are primarily a convenience for customers within the local area. In my opinion, the overall function and ease of use, could be more streamlined to reduce some of the reduncancy when creating an event. I would consider myself above average on a technical level, but there seems to be tedious issues, requiring me to ask for assistance whenever I am creating an event. Having said that, the support we receive from Gary Bradshaw and his quick response at resolving any problems, is excellent. We have not tried other ticketing agencies because of the level of customer service we receive. To be fair, I have never used another ticketing agent, so I have nothing to compare it to. The reason for 3 Star on Ease of Use is because, while not complicated, it can be tedious and more time consuming than I believe it should. Having been in business for a long time, even if a particular product or service is slightly higher in cost or slightly lower in quality, it is well worth it when customer service is above reproach. Pros With nothing to compare it to, not sure I can give a fair evaluation on software. Cons Redundancies. Too many steps. At this point, with the number of events I have created, it should take less than 5 minutes to set up. Loading images and getting them to the right size, resolution and added steps to update everytime you make change. Recommendation would be to allow companies to set up a template and only have to fill in changes to the actual event OR fix Cloning. Whenever I use the Cloning feature, there is always issues that don't make sense.

Customer service was outstanding! They're very helpful in answering questions, adding tickets, verifying ticket refunds, etc... They were awesome from start to finish! The afternoon of the concert, I printed out our list of attendees to give to those checking in our guests at the front door. The only glitch we had, there were 8-10 ticket holders that when they presented their tickets, it only had their first name. So we asked for their last name, thinking it was probably just a printing area, but the last name was still not on the attendee list. What we soon figured out was with these 8-10 tickets, was their first name was on the attendee list as both their first and last names. For example, Ticket holder #125, order ID 1419943, was listed on the attendee list as Keri Keri. This was not a huge detriment of anything but I just wanted to let you know so you could look into it from your end. We would definitely use Attendstar again!!! Thanks, Attendstar!!! Pros Very user-friendly - Very detailed - Lots of helpful reports including the profit and loss statement! Cons Just the one glitch we had with 8-10 tickets having only the first name on attendees ticket and 2 first names on our attendee list instead of first and last name. For example, instead of Keri Johnson, it had Keri Keri.

Whenever I have had an issue you were always quick to resolve it. As a result, I really enjoyed using your product. I would recommend it to anyone. For those of you from Canada as I am, they will do your sales in Canadian dollars and deposit the money into your Canadian Bank account. Pros Easy to use Cons You fix any cons that I had so there are none. OW Owner Owner Used the software for: 3-5 years ### "Service Sets AttendStar Apart" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 May 17, 2017 We've used AttendStar for multiple events. The software/web UI is easy to navigate and it doesn't take long to master. The feature set continues to improve, and it's clear that the company is continually looking for ways to enhance their product. From my perspective, though, the biggest selling point for AttendStar is how they service their product and value their customers. They are responsive, friendly, thoughtful and you feel like you've got an ally in them -- even though they are filling a particular need, it's clear they want the entire event to be successful. We highly recommend them and mention them to other entertainers and event planners! Pros It is pretty intuitive -- at least I found it to be. There are more functions and features that have been added than I've taken advantage of -- but I feel that I've gotten plenty with what has long been a part of the package. Cons There isn't much not to like. I suppose it'd be nice to be able to copy events or tickets a bit easier, but that's a minor issue. Ben S. ### "Excellent tool for the busy promoter!" 5.0 May 17, 2017 We have used Attendstar for our VIP Experience Passws for 3 years now and they are great! We are a busy volunteer team who manage the festival so we need easy to use. We can embed a form on our website guests can easily purchase and order. Then we can login and get all the info and data we need fir the day of. We can either print off an attendee list or scan tickets with their app or scanner. Attendstar is the best!

They communicate timely and handle any issues quickly and with professionalism. I haven't hosted any concerts for a while but when I do I always reach out to my friends at AttendStar. Pros Fairly simple to use and the tracking features are great. Cons Sometimes it takes me a minute to fully understand some of the charts.
