Considered Both Products	ThunderTix JS John Sowle Artist Director Chose ThunderTix Much better Incentivized Helpful? Jason Rice Founding Board Member Chose ThunderTix Our former system morphed into some other company I have not kept up with. They were costly, inattentive and flat out tried to back-charge us thousands of dollars. I really haven't looked back and am ridiculously loyal to ThunderTix Incentivized Helpful? MG Mason Green Administrative Assistant Chose ThunderTix AudienceView has some of the oldest and least efficient user interfaces I have ever seen. Theres 5 different websites for the same account to access different things that are all interlinked and need to be accessed together. Ticket Spice charges a higher per ticket cost for … Incentivized Helpful? MD Matthew Davis COO (Chief Operating Officer) Chose ThunderTix I have looked at Event Brite. I have looked at a number of others, who I do not wish to list. I actually thought that most have a lot to offer and are probably great, but none fit us the way that Thundertix does. It would take a hell of a sales pitch to take us away. Incentivized Helpful? KH Katie Hollis Marketing Manager Chose ThunderTix Thundertix may not have all of the features as something like eventbright or bands in town, but the amount we are saving daily makes up for some of the features that may not be present. We are a small intimate venue so Thindertix is the best fit for our organization. Incentivized Helpful? Brian Buttrey Board Member - IT Chose ThunderTix We felt ThunderTix was easier to use not to mention lower in cost to us and to our patrons. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	ThunderTix	Vanco Events
Likelihood to Recommend	It is the cheapest and easiest to use platform, especially when compared to Ticket Spice and AudienceView. Ticket Spice is full of microtransactions and AudienceView's user interface is decades old and completely inefficient. Thundertix is easy to use and the prices are reasonable for ticket sales and supplemental packages for your account.

Pros	Site is easy to use for both our customers and for us using in the back office Platforms are aesthetically pleasing and easy to integrate Thundertix rarely, or even never has any glitches. We have significant data relying upon Thundertix, and I am more than satisfied. The management and/or ownership at Thundertix is fantastic to work with. They truly care. They have even added specific features that are available to all clients based on some of the needs that we have. Incentivized MD Matthew Davis COO (Chief Operating Officer) Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	We pay a premium for the over the phone customer service. Thundertix is at such a good price point it’s worth it to pay the extra for this service. Their online customer service s great, but it can be difficult to get your point across sometimes without talking to someone on the phone. Thundertix does not currently have any text message features in place. I hope to see that in the future. Thundertix has many features and it can be difficult to utilize all of the features because there are just so many and they aren’t all intuitive.

Likelihood to Renew	We have been with them for over a decade and have no interest in leaving. Brian Buttrey Board Member - IT Read full review	No answers on this topic
Usability	It's straightforward and, for the most part, easy to use and navigate. When there is an issue or problem that arises, support is usually very helpful in navigating us in the right direction. It keeps everything in order and on track, and is easy to use when trying to track down a client or previous purchases, which is important to our company Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	They are quick to respond to both calls and email. They also have a robust online set of documentation and tools that offer the possibility of finding your own answer. But, even if you don't use it, ThunderTix never asks the "did you check our online resources" questions. They never complain about emails or calls. They are there to help and do a fantastic job!
