When it comes to event management, ticketing platforms are more than just a means to sell admission passes. A robust ticketing system can dramatically boost both revenue and customer satisfaction. At Expian, we’ve developed a cutting-edge ticketing platform specifically designed for attractions and venues that need to manage diverse types of events, admissions, and experiences. Our platform empowers businesses to unlock new revenue streams while enhancing operational flexibility, ensuring that each event offers a seamless and satisfying experience for customers.
Enhancing Revenue through Multi-Channel Sales
One of the standout features of our ticketing platform is its ability to sell tickets across multiple channels. We recognise that attractions today need to reach customers through a variety of avenues to ensure maximum visibility and accessibility. Whether a guest prefers to buy tickets online, at the venue’s walk-up counter, over the phone through a call centre, or even through a B2B trade sales channel, we make this possible.
By offering tailored ticket availability across these different channels,attractions can optimise their sales strategy. For example, premium experiences or exclusive events can be reserved for certain sales channels, ensuring that high-value tickets are targeted at the right audiences. Our platform also includes rules to manage ticket availability, ensuring that unsold tickets aren’t left on the table. Instead, any distressed inventory can automatically be pushed to less profitable channels, helping attractions to avoid underselling and maximise overall revenue.
Flexibility for Different Event Types
One of the key challenges that attractions face is managing the different types of events they host, from high-capacity public events to intimate, private experiences. Our platform offers the flexibility to create an unlimited variety of tickets, tailored to the specific needs of each event. This can significantly increase operational efficiency, as attractions are no longer limited to basic admission tickets.
Take,for instance, a heritage castle that typically hosts 5,000 general visitors a day but also caters to specialised events like weddings or exclusive dining experiences. Our platform allows the attraction to allocate specific capacities for each event — for example, 300 guests for a wedding or 100 for a private dinner — all within the same ticketing system. The platform supports both timed and untimed tickets, providing additional flexibility to cater to different visitor preferences.
This same flexibility applies to industries like ferries, where the platform can create detailed plans for vessels and garage spaces. Whether a basic ticket is sold for a ferry ride or an upgrade to a cabin, VIP lounge, or restaurant reservation, we offer the capability to sell tickets for any aspect of the journey, making it easy to generate new revenue streams from previously untapped opportunities.
Custom Seating Arrangements foran Organised Guest Experience
Customer satisfaction is directly tied to how smooth and organised their experience is,especially when it comes to events with specific seating requirements. Our platform enables attractions to offer numbered seating plans, ensuring that every guest has a designated place for the event. Whether it’s for a concert, a theatre performance, or a VIP experience on a ferry, having the ability to assign seats enhances the overall guest experience, reducing stress and confusion upon arrival.
This level of organisation not only improves customer satisfaction but also streamlines the venue’s operations. The platform's seating management ensures that events with specific seating arrangements run smoothly, allowing attractions to focus on delivering the best possible experience for their guests.
Dynamic Pricing and Revenue Optimisation
Our platform includes a comprehensive set of pricing rules designed to help attractions maximise revenue through dynamic pricing strategies. With the ability to set peak and off-peak prices, offer web-only discounts, and incorporate optional donations, attractions can fine-tune their ticketing to match customer demand and maximise yield.
For example, if an attraction notices that tickets aren’t selling as quickly for a particular event, they can automatically adjust prices or offer discounts to incentivise sales. Conversely, for events during peak times, the platform can implement higher pricing to capitalise on increased demand.
This dynamic pricing capability helps attractions to avoid leaving money on the table while ensuring that tickets are always priced appropriately for the market. The platform’s ability to include optional donations in the ticket price also provides attractions with an easy way to increase charitable contributions, further enhancing revenue potential.
Tailored Customer Experiences and Increased Satisfaction
In addition to maximising revenue, our ticketing platform is designed to improve the overall customer experience. By offering flexible ticketing options and multiple sales channels, attractions can meet customers where they are, making it as easy as possible for them to purchase tickets and enjoy their visit. Whether a guest prefers to book in advance online or buy tickets on-site, the platform ensures a smooth and user-friendly experience across all touch points.
Timed and untimed ticket options also cater to different visitor preferences. Some guests may want to plan their day around a specific event, while others prefer the freedom to explore at their own pace. By offering both options, attractions can accommodate a wider range of customers, enhancing overall satisfaction.
Moreover,the platform's ability to manage ticketing for exclusive or premium experiences allows attractions to create memorable, personalised experiences for their guests. Whether it’s an upgrade to a VIP area, a private dining experience, or a behind-the-scenes tour, these tailored experiences not only increase revenue but also enhance customer loyalty.
