### "Another Ticketing Option"

December 13, 2023

4.0

I 100% recommend Showpass to any venue that uses ticketing. It is another outlet for customers to purchase tickets. It's easy and they send a will call list before every event.

Pros

I like how they are another ticketing outlet choice for our customers.

Cons

I haven't found anything that isn't beneficial to our venue yet.

### "Very useful software "

May 26, 2019

4.0

Showpass allowed me to grow the business by allowing all employees to have access to what the managers use and taking pressure off of us.

Pros

The ease of teaching and learning this software. Very user friendly all around.

Cons

Lack of options for mobile at the time when I was using it most.

### "Showpass review"

May 25, 2019

4.0

Overall experience with showpass is good. There are some kinks in the software but those can be fixed.

Pros

I like how the software is quite simple. It’s easy to book guestlists, and the administrators are able to see when people come in and are able to accurately compensate for getting people into the bar.

Cons

I don’t like how if I’m in a different time zone showpass defaults to the current time zone and messes up the days of which guestlists are booked. I also think that shutting off music when you open the app on the IPhone is annoying.

### "I love Showpass!"

December 6, 2019

5.0

Showpass solved a ticketing challenge for a National event our school is hosting. It was easy turn key solution and the customer support has been outstanding. Any questions are answered quickly and accurately. The ticketing portion of our event was at one time a major stress for me and thanks to Showpass has become stress free.

Pros

The software is intuitive. It makes the ticket selling, tracking and management so easy and efficient. I love the ability to check sales each day, offer discounts or incentives and the chance to message directly with customers who have purchased tickets.

Cons

I have not yet encountered anything about the software that I like the least.

Reason for choosing Showpass

Showpass had facebook integration and the opportunity to easily communicate with my customers.

### "Very helpful service, great integration"

December 6, 2019

5.0

But they are very responsive, take time to understand what you really need and offer advice to get what you want.

Pros

The website and Facebook event integration. Our website was recently recognized as a choir website to look at and one of the reasons listed was the box office integration that's provided by showpass.

Cons

I'm relatively new to ticket sales software. Sometimes the terms are different from what I've used before, it can be hard to find the function I need.

### "Attractive and Versatile Event Registration"

November 18, 2023

5.0

We had a successful event, and I really like the event summary that was emailed to me just before the event started so I could see how many people signed up.

Pros

One of our favorite features of Showpass is being able to create attractive event listings with images and font options. The WYSIWYG editor was simple to use and allowed for quite a few options.

Cons

On the administration side, the UI/UX could be better optimized so there are less "clicks" to get where you are going.

### "Showpass is the premier ticketing system for event promoters"

January 7, 2020

5.0

Showpass is a solid tool for any event promoter who plans on selling tickets. We have been using them for a while now, and the experience is always perfect.

Pros

This software is incredibly easy to use, intuitive, and well structured. Creating and managing events are as easy as filling out a form and uploading some images. The site is fast and responsive, and easy to navigate.

Cons

I wish that after saving a change to and event, it would send me back to the list of events that can be edited, instead of taking me to a secondary page for the same event. This is my only complaint.

### "Powerful ticketing software"

October 15, 2020

5.0

My company was looking for the ability to create bulk events and understand customer transaction info. We are able to easily see conversions, and which dates/times are more popular for our customers.

Pros

\- Showpass has very useful features such as: bulk generating events, abandoned carts & emailing guests. These features stand out compared to other ticketing softwares I have used in the past. - The Customer Support staff are quick to help out if I get stuck anywhere - They are Canadian! - The Facebook integration is unique and has allowed me to expand on my marketing efforts

Cons

Nothing too concerning, I wish I could expand further on their integration with Benevity (be able to offer more than 1 charity to donate to during checkout).

Showpass is a great ticketing software that has changed the ticketing industry. The showpass staff clearly love events and helping event organizers develop better events.

Pros

This software has allowed me to increase sales for music festivals. The website is extremely easy to use, and has advanced features with thorough explanations on how to use it quickly and efficiently. The support staff are quick to answer and support as well.

The mobile app could be developed further, missing a few features that allows me to build events from my phone.

February 21, 2019

4.0

The customer service and willingness to support clients with specific issues has been great! The Showpass team has been eager to help create custom solutions and features for our specific needs, which has been a huge help to us.

Pros

I like the variety of functionality within the software and how many different features are available. The software is very user friendly from a purchaser side as well, which helps elevate fan and user experience for our event.

Cons

The reporting can be a bit complicated when you have such a wide variety of ticketing options.

### "Great for small events"

November 5, 2021

5.0

Pros

We were able to create our own pre-show selection categories for concession purchases to help us know what inventory to have on hand when the ticket holder arrives. The buyer pre-pays and that helps with our budget too.

Cons

I wish the timing out was a little longer to help the purchaser that is using the app on their phone because the screen size may be hard to read. I had to input all of my information a 2nd time since because I ran out of time.

### "Ticket and Event Purchases"

November 3, 2021

4.0

While I understand that things can get busy, showpass needs to invest in better tech to support high volume days and popular event tickets.

Pros

I like that I can search any city and event for tickets and passes.

Cons

Often hard to search for specific events and dates when the website is overwhelmed with early bird or popular events
