    We migrated from another ticketing company and Prism. Opendate combined the best of both and the data we unlocked by those two systems has helped guide our marketing efforts and increased our revenue per show. We have excellent customization on the ticketing which helps us better understand the financials of each show. It's the first time our entire team (talent, marketing, production and finance) all are on one system that works for each of us. The product can improve in some of its more advanced functionality such as more robust permissioning and event-level customization

    I would recommend to anyone managing a venue that books events, especially venues with larger teams. It's great to keep the whole lead generation cycle organized from start to close. It's also great to have analytics and reporting to be able to provide to our accountant, or see trends and changes in our business.

    Very easy to use! Once you get your venue details set up and menus added in, it's extremely user friendly. It's also easy to make changes to settings as needed or add new menus, lead forms, contract templates, etc. Anyone that can work an email system can easily use it.

    The customer support we have received from Opendate is unmatched. We have multiple points of contact and when we make suggestions they are frequently implemented in quick order. The pricing is competitive and the flexibility we have in the product is great. Most importantly, rather than using 3 or 4 different systems our entire venue is ran out of Opendate

    Tripleseat is far superior to anything else we have used. The ease of use is unmatched. Many other systems are still very outdated. Tripleseat does a really good job of staying on top of industry trends and advancements, and listening to what their customers are asking for. I wouldn't switch back to any other platform.
