Introducing Box Office: the solution for on-the-door sales

We're excited to release our latest development for on-the-door ticket staff; a solution that enables sales before and during your event or club night. Powered by the CM.com Ticketing platform and enabled on a variety of hardware and operating systems, we help your staff connect online sales to offline sales, seamlessly. In this blog, we look at some of the key features of Box Office.

1. It's your point of sale

CM.com Box Office is available on a variety of hardware and operating systems including Apple, Android and Windows. This means it's portable and easy to use for your staff as part of your existing set up regardless of the type of event you're running. This includes organisers who want to sell tickets on portable devices or self service kiosks. And if you don't have the hardware or staff our leasing program can support you too.

2. Enabling the experience

Your attendees want to get through the door. Lost tickets or payment issues shouldn't slow them down. Print tickets, email tickets send them via an sms or allow ticket holders to scan a QR code and download a ticket to ensure they get into your event. If you want to offer discounts, these offers can be imported and payment options can be pre-loaded ahead of time. For organisers that have a wide catalogue of events and ticket types, we've made tickets searchable and added sub categories to speed things up too.

3. Empowering your teams

We want to make ticket sales easier for your door teams. Shift tracking and reconciliation reports, dynamic discount application and detailed reporting for in depth analysis give a clear and easy view of your event . We built the platform with the end user in mind, with multi-level user access and password restrictions, it ensures secure operations. There is also a live ticket allocation feed, facilitating seamless online and on-site ticket sales without the risk of overselling. And there's always the option to capture customer data for your next marketing campaign.

Box Office is available now for teams who want to sell more tickets on the door, stress free. For more information or to see a demo of the platform, reach out to our team.

Building a superclub: behind-the-scenes at Amnesia

When you think of superclubs, you probably think of Amnesia. For five decades this Ibiza institution has set the beat for the island’s party scene and the global clubbing landscape as a whole – a mainstay on lists of the World’s Best Clubs and a bucket-list destination for clubbers the world over. Amnesia has always been a place of innovative thinking. Today, the club is a globally-recognised brand, having long ago embraced the possibilities of social media. Its ticketing is also ahead of the curve. Working with CM.com, Amnesia have developed an integrated, highly sophisticated solution that allows them to sell tickets, connect with fans all year round and retain ownership of their data through one platform. Where does this spirit of innovation come from? The answer lies in Amnesia’s history. It has got there by always moving forward. By seeking out new sounds and promoters, and by refining the in-club experience season after season. More recently, it has got there through investing in digital and working with CM.com to evolve its ticketing and fan engagement. Here, we take you inside Amnesia to understand how this family-run business became a global brand. From its counter-cultural roots through to its digital transformation over the last few years.

How Jagermeister found their flow to throw immersive house parties for students

The rewards of running immersive events – those that are highly conceptual and bring the attendee behind the curtain – can be exciting. Attendees want to be a part of them, journalists want to write about them, and events teams can’t wait to get creative. But immersive events need to deliver an experience! And not just at the event itself. Because experience-hungry consumers demand that the immersion begins well before the day – with every touchpoint fuelling their anticipation and excitement for what’s to come. One misstep – a rogue SMS or confusing customer journey – and the whole thing falls down. One organiser that has successfully run the high-wire of immersive events is Raptor, a marketing agency who were tasked by Jagermeister to put on a series of multi-city parties for students. Here, we unpick the nuts and bolts of their strategy – and the smart automations that made it all flow seamlessly.
