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.

Chief Financial Officer / Treasurer Non-Profit Organization Management ### "A customer-focused mindset" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 December 13, 2019 Better accountability of revenue and attendance. 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. Reasons for choosing AttendStar Better terms and features that suited our business.

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. Review source Vendor Referred: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review. Response from Vendor February 22, 2017 Hi Ricky. Thank you for comments. As you can see from our other reviews this is not normal for us. We are meeting this morning to review the situation and will come up with a way to make it up to you. I am very sorry your event did not get posted. The interface has always been one of our strong points. It comes with having features that clients have asked for. - Gary, Owner. MV Maurice V.

This was my first time using an online ticket service, but after talking with the AttendStar agents I was confident I chose the right people. The agents took the time to answer all of my many questions with professionalism, were knowledgeable about the service, and very people-friendly. They had me set up for business in no time. My customers found it to be a easy convenient way to purchase tickets to my event. I also had 24/7 access to my account to review and keep track of all my transactions. As far as the pricing for AttendStar online service compared to others (some charged less, some charged more) It worked best for me because of the high quality of service I received. I would definitely recommend them to my friends and family. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site.
