They are there to help at all times. I am 61 and used ledger books and boxes of receipts for events. I just click and get a full report to print off.

Pros

I can create freely my events designs to make the unique to each event.

Cons

There is nothing I have to say negative.

Benefits of showpass is that it makes events and buying tickets very easy and then all of your tickets are all in one place .

Pros

I like that there are so many different features and options to use. It is also very easy to use.

Cons

Sometimes the software would glitch and freeze but I believe that was an internet issue.

December 21, 2019

5.0

I enjoy the folks who help with our events! Great staff at our events for support and helping prior to the event with mass uploads.

Pros

The platform isn’t changing every time I use it! I use the ShowPass software for 5 of our events and everytime I log in I know exactly where to go to find things.

Cons

With our events the scan process sometimes gets a little complicated because of the variety of ticket types. Those who use it regularly have it all figured out. I sometimes push the wrong buttons

### "Great Canadian ticketing software with fantastic support."

May 28, 2019

4.0

Showpass has been excellent to work with. Every person on their team is committed to make sure we had the best experience possible using their software, no matter what time of day.

Pros

The flexability. If a feature was not available, the development team was very receptive to our feedback, and even implemented some changes based on what we asked for.

Cons

The backend could use a.bit more attention in the UI/UX department. It's not bad, but it could be better. It also needs better scheduling options for events, but that is coming soon.

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing Showpass

We wanted to keep it Canadian, and we wanted a more local support team.

Pros

Ease of use, great support, flexibility to set up assigned seating

Cons

Reporting is always a little to be desired, but that goes with most platforms. Built in comparison to another game or another year would be helpful.

A great team that makes you feel important. I would never use another ticketing site after dealing with Showpass

Pros

User friendly platform, easy to navigate and any issues you may have are promptly sorted when you reach out to customer service. Had to refund a lot of tickets after the lockdown and Showpass was wonderful with helping me manage it.

Cons

The sizing with photos was an issue however the team was very helpful with sorting this for me

December 17, 2019

5.0

We love using Showpass. The customer support team is extremely helpful and quick in their responses for assistance. We have streamlined our event process and it makes executing events much more simple and we have less headaches with our events.

Pros

Showpass is very easy to use from start to finish. From using the main dashboard, to using the app, it is very simple to learn, and put into use for all our events.

Cons

Nothing specifically - it has all the requirements we need to be able to execute our events seamlessly.

### "Showpass for Conference in 2018"

May 30, 2019

5.0

Pros

Customer support was very responsive and friendly. Lots of options for pricing promotions and discounts. Easy to use interface. Local, Calgary-based business.

Cons

Ticket bundling and group packages need to be done from the backend by Showpass staff. Was a bit tedious to always contact them when I needed to get these sorts of tickets set up.

### "Their customer service was fast, of high quality, and fixed my issue!"

September 24, 2020

5.0

I will definitely purchase from Showpass in the future and appreciate how they treat their customers. Having worked in customer service for many years, I know the kind of patience and effort it takes to create a positive impact and they did just that. Hats off to Showpass :)

Pros

Having used the platform as a ticket buyer, our event was cancelled due to COVID-19 and I requested a refund through their website. I chatted with their virtual bot off their website who then directed me to a REAL person based out of their Canadian office. They directed me and helped me get my refund in just a day or two. Having used other platforms for refunds, Showpass was much faster than some other ticket platforms and really appreciated their diligence on issuing my funds to me.

Cons

As a buyer, I didn’t come across many cons from my time using their software. Their customer service agent was incredibly friendly, and helped me solve the issue with ease. I hope I won’t have to request more refunds in the near future as I’m craving live entertainment, but if I do… I hope it’s Showpass that will help process them.
