Museum Ticketing Software

  • Expand your community with new members.

    Welcome new patrons into your museum community by offering membership packages! Patrons can choose between monthly, quarterly, annual, or lifetime memberships. Our system makes the admissions process more convenient by auto-generating tickets when scanning membership cards, which eliminates the need to print or purchase tickets beforehand. Through our memberships feature, you’ll constantly welcome new patrons to your museum family.

    The VBO Tickets software also includes simplified membership management and email marketing tools. You can have members easily renew their membership subscriptions with the click of a button, or send out bulk emails with membership renewal details. This can help increase your membership ticket sales and improve the overall guest experience for your museum members.

  • Gain full control over entry times.

    Timed ticketing is the perfect solution for managing occupation limits and giving the best experience to your incoming patrons. With timed ticketing systems, you can choose selected entry times for your exhibits, attractions, and tours while patrons can purchase tickets for the time they prefer. When you regulate your museum with timed ticketing, you’ll never stress about overcrowding and your partons will enjoy not having to wait in long lines; instead, you’ll know exactly who’s signed up to come each day you’re open.

    Timed entry ticketing can be a great addition to venue management software because it helps ensure your museum doesn't reach capacity and easily tracks who enters the museum and when. You could also discover your museum’s most popular visiting times and plan your special events and tours accordingly.

  • Get to know your daily museum members.

    Get to know your patrons through a detailed account of their actions with customer relationship management (CRM) profiles. Check contact info, donor activity, transaction history, preferred museum tours, and more to help improve your interactions and communication with each patron. Make edits such as address changes or signing people up for mailing lists. Taking advantage of CRM profiles will not only help you with patron management, such as tracking numbers of patrons, but it also helps you get to know your new museum family.

  • Check tickets at the door from your mobile device.

    You shouldn’t be stuck in an office all day, you should be out interacting with partons. Utilize the Mobile Event Manager app to scan tickets, view guest lists, or check event statistics. You can have app access anywhere — even if your device isn’t connected to the internet. No more long lines in front of admissions, take matters into your own hands by using your new museum ticketing software straight from your mobile device. Our Mobile Event Manager app is the perfect mobile sales solution.

  • Run donation campaigns for your patrons to give back.

    With donation campaigns, you can learn just how much your patrons want to support their local cultural institutions. Run campaigns through your website or during online sales, with plenty of amazing features such as recurring donor options, employer matching, and progress bars. When you engage with your patrons and help them give back, donation campaigns will help you reach your fundraising goals.

    You can then add your donations to our venue management software to decide how to best use the funds to improve your cultural institutions.

  • Manage your museum beyond the exhibits.

    Take advantage of our museum ticketing solution to do more than just ticket sales so you can avoid hiring multiple companies to handle each of your event management needs. Take advantage of our full event management platform with features such as timed ticketing, membership subscriptions, mobile capabilities, donation campaigns, scheduled museum tours, and more. Our feature will help you grow your clientele and manage the day-to-day operations of your museum. Don’t try to bounce between multiple softwares; use our all-in-one ticketing system for all your museum’s needs. You will love the seamless experience of using our comprehensive museum ticketing software.

    Whether you prefer to sell tickets on-site or have patrons buy their tickets online, our museum software is equipped to be your perfect digital solution, providing all of the features you need to keep the history of your museum alive.
