SEATING CHARTS
From proscenium shows, theatre-in-the-round, sports stadiums, galas with table seating, and more, give your ticket buyers an accurate replica of your seating chart no matter how unique the configuration may be. Our easy-to-use Seating Chart Editor allows you to create sections, levels, and tables, no matter the shape! Curve rows, name sections, customize aisles, add exits, and price by section.

Our user-friendly editor includes a drag-and-drop seating chart builder to quickly build your seating charts without extra training. Need more time? No worries! We can create a seating chart of your venue for you.
SUBSCRIPTIONS
Start driving revenue with flexible subscription packages before general ticket sales begin. With OTS, you can build and manage multiple subscription packages that include traditional full-season subscriptions, “flex passes,” customizable performance packages, and pre-sale options for subscribers.
Our Box Office Portal makes it easy to sell and redeem subscriptions in person, over the phone, or even on the night of the event when ticket buyers are most engaged. Keep your patrons coming back for more and build loyalty with subscription packages.
PROMO CIDES
Special promotional tickets and discount codes are a tradition in the theatre that can help drive revenue, engagement, and donations for your organization by creating a sense of exclusivity and urgency. Moreover, they enable you to track the effectiveness of different marketing campaigns, allowing for data-driven decision-making in future promotional strategies.
Our promo code capabilities allow you to provide professional comp codes at no charge to your organization, create an unlimited number of unique promo codes with the same offer at one time, set date range for either purchase and/or redemption, and offer promo codes on Entire Order, Tickets Only or Individual ticket types.
TICKET SCANNING
Replace the hectic, inconsistent process of checklist walk-ins with a professional arrival process that supports both digital and printed tickets. OTS Ticket Scanning speeds up the arrival process, professionalizes the patron experience, protects your ticket sales, and drives more revenue for your organization, all while ensuring the best experience for staff and volunteers.
The best part? You can do everything from the devices you already have. There is no need to purchase special equipment or expensive scanners. Create Front of House users that enable them to check in your patrons and will provide you with real-time data on check-ins and attendance.

Product Category FAQs
Can I charge different ticket prices for separate seat locations?
You sure can! With our Reserved Seating functionality, you can create ticket types by section and within each section as well. With On The Stage you can create offerings that are as simple or complex as you want them to be.
Can I use OTS to sell tickets for a non-theatrical event?
Yes. Our site templates work intuitively for theatre productions, musical concerts, dance recitals, award shows, and camp/class registration. We also work with Dance/Prom committees, Special Events, Sporting Events, Cheer/Dance/Color Guard Competitions, and much more.
Can I offer comp tickets and other discounts through On The Stage?
Of course. In addition to standard comp tickets, with On The Stage, you can create as many discount codes as you need, for whatever application you can think of.
Can my company offer paper tickets with On The Stage?
Yes, you can offer and accept paper tickets. However, current trends show ticketing headed in a completely digital direction—and with our paperless system, On The Stage is ahead of the curve. Patrons are provided with a confirmation email with QR Codes for each ticket that can be scanned once they arrive at the theatre.
Of course, patrons are welcome to print their confirmation email or QR Codes and bring that to the venue for check-in, but it is optional and can be done from their mobile device.
Does my company need to buy or rent a ticket scanner or printer?
No! Our Box Office Portal is designed to be quick and easy, with no need to purchase additional devices. Front of House staff can use any wifi enabled device with a camera (phone, iPod, tablet, laptop, etc.) to scan tickets with QR Codes when they enter the theatre. Patrons check in at the venue by sharing the QR Code in their order confirmation email.
Do I need a chip reader to process credit card sales?
No. Our Box Office Portal allows you to process credit card transactions on any device without a chip reader.
How are refunds and exchanges processed?
On The Stage is built to work for you. Our website builder includes a customizable field for your organization’s specific Refunds and Exchanges Policy, so no matter how you choose to handle these circumstances, your patrons will be fully informed before they make their purchase.
If you choose to offer refunds and/or exchanges for ticket purchases, please note that On The Stage does not process these transactions, however, our Customer Support team is available to walk you through the necessary steps if you need assistance.
How do I make sure our Box Office reports include cash sales?
To ensure that all reporting is complete and accurate, use our Box Office Portal to process all cash or check transactions. The Box Office Portal is optimized for your mobile device, so cash and credit card sales are quick and easy no matter where or when they take place.
What if our Wifi goes out on the day of the show?
The On The Stage Box Office Portal and live Check-In List are optimized for use on a smartphone, tablet, or laptop. If you have spotty wifi, you can use your smartphone to process sales and check patrons in at the door, or use it as a hotspot to connect to other devices.
If you don’t have access to a smartphone, turn off ticket sales two hours before your event and print out the Check-In List so that you have the most up-to-date list of patrons available for manual check-in.
