TESTIMONIAL

“We were running a separate online sales, separate phone sales & separate evening Box Office. SeatAdvisor has brought all this process together in a simple, easy to use and cost effective system. This application was perfect four our operations. We were also blown away when we discovered through their buying power that they managed to secure us a greatly discounted merchant rate with the Bank, easily covering the cost of the tickets.”

“SABO offer a superior level of support and customer service and are very responsible to all of our needs. SeatAdvisor is a great product and we’d recommend it to anyone.”
Country Arts, SA

“The introduction of online ticketing has been great for Somerset College. Our customers have embraced the system, with the majority now purchasing online rather that in person. For the school parents, we believe the biggest selling point is that they can select their own seats when booking online for theatre performances. From an administrative perspective, we love the ease of banking and reporting, and the fact that tickets can be purchased 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We have also found the customer support to be excellent- the SeatAdvisor team is eager to assist and solve any problems. SeatAdvisor has saved us a lot of time in the office and its ease of use makes a system that we would definitely recommend.”
Somerset College, Queensland

“SeatAdvisor has done away with the “ticket order form” days of old! No more triple-handling of transactions and so the workload has been more than halved by moving online. It also means that the financial details of families are much more secure and we handle smaller volumes of cash - all of which gives me peace of mind. It’s been a great add-on service for our external hirers and consequently increases hits on the College website – which is good for the overall profile of the College. It’s created a more streamlined, professional appearance for the GMCPA and allowed us to build anticipation and audiences for events well in advance. The support has been excellent across the entire process from implementing the system through to ongoing troubleshooting. I would recommend it to Theatre Departments and Event Coordinators alike-an essential and affordable resource for schools.”
Sophie Goldrick, Theatre Manager
Gilliam Moore Centre for Performing Arts, NSW Pym

“We have found SeatAdvisor to be all it promised it would be – a professionally managed easy to handle system. Together we’ve made great theatre.”
Richard Beveridge, Producer
OSMAD Old Scotch Music and Dramable Ladies College, VIC

“SeatAdvisor has given Hunter School of the Performing Arts the ability to control and manage ticket sales for both in house events and events conducted by external hirers of our theatre. With SeatAdvisor we can compare the patronage and success of our events and track out patrons for future events. Support from SeatAdvisor has been outstanding and requests for assistance are responded to promptly. Highly recommended!”
Hunter School of Performing Arts, NSW

“Registering and managing events is now much faster – as people can register online and reports can be generated automatically. The reprint ticket feature also saves me heaps of time! I love that refunds can also be done automatically in the case of credit cards. The support for this product has been phenomenal. I’d also recommend its ease of use and it’s reporting facilities for crosschecking and audit.”
Melbourne Grammar, VIC

“A ticketing solution that met our needs and improves our business offer, and that is supported by a responsive team.”
Monash University, VIC

“Our manual system was inaccurate, costing us and our performers through ‘no shows’ and was taking up hours of our time every day. SeatAdvisor was simple to use, and was a fraction of the cost of other alternatives we had looked at. It allowed us to generate reports and statistics that were just right for us. We are more than paying for the system through not incurring losses for ‘no-show’ patrons and have been able to introduce a booking fee that has met with no negative reaction from patrons.”

“SABO is a great program for venues and companies new to the world of ticketing, online sales and e-marketing. We feel we have gained a new momentum in sales with this product. Younger demographic (18-30) for age appropriate shows has increased by 67% due to the introduction of online sales.”
Fiona Elliott
Office Manager
Hothouse Theatre, VIC

“SeatAdvisor was highly recommended by those already using it and even some who were not. In researching the market it seemed to fit our needs and be quick, easy and cost effective to implement and run. SABO is simple and effective – a great choice for online and over-the-counter ticket sales.”
Graeme Russell
Venue Manager
Wesley Performing Arts Centre, VIC

“Benefits gained- Improved sales, reduction of staff time spent on sales, better tracking of sales (for both ourselves and productions hiring the venue), improved patron database to allow for marketing. SABO is A LIFESAVER!”

“Of the various systems I have used and looked at over my 25 years in venue management, SABO is the simplest and most effective system I have ever seen.”

“The most excellent customer service I have ever experienced, we tell everyone about SABO and recommend it to many events.”
Toni Powell

“We came to SABO from Pro Venue, and it was an enormous improvement. Probably the biggest driver for us to move to SABO was the ability to have an online box office. The online feature works fantastic, and has significantly reduced the wait times on the phone. Enabling Print at Home is a great feature and has dramatically reduced lines in will call. Other improvements are the map display, the stability of credit card reconciliation, their willingness to adapt SABO and make changes to fit our needs, the ease of balancing etc. The staff at Seat Advisor is very open to any of our needs, and when feasible works to make any changes or enhancements we need.”

“SABO is very user friendly. It has great help menus as well as great customer service. I have never had a problem that didn’t get resolved promptly and to my satisfaction. The Patron Management is by far superior to anything else we have used. My patrons find the online ticket option very convenient and easy to use. There are reports for anything you can think of. And then some. A+ Recommended”
Joni Hodsdon
Box Office Manager
Circle Theatre, MI, USA

“SABO was an excellent addition to our business. We used to do everything by hand. Having SABO saved so much time that I have been able to enjoy my summer. It’s like having an extra “INTELLEGENT” employee. The ease of the system is great for my customers. They love to have the opportunity to choose their own seats and print their tickets to bypass our long lines. SABO’s customer service is amazing, I put in a ticket and I have answers within 30 minutes or a phone call to solve the problem. The customer service department is better than I would have ever imagined.”
Elizabeth Wylde
Owner
Dells Comedy Club, WI, USA

“Ease of use, quick event set up and management, excellent resource in the online Knowledge Base allowing me to have a big pool of information to search for before I need to contact support. SABO makes it easy to solve your own issues! Love the section of event management where per ticket and per transaction fees are added - it is by far the simplest and most logical set up I’ve ever worked with. I definitely recommend this software for a university performing arts centre such as ourselves.”
Jessica Dulberg

Adelphi University Performing Arts Center, NY, USA

“I LOVE SABO… From internet sales to manning the phones, I have never used a system that was such the perfect combination of simplicity and complexity. It does the normal stuff so easily, and has the power to handle the unusual requests. I couldn’t have done it without you all. Thanks!”

“Problems are taken care of immediately and I can always get a support tech on the phone. Lots of user options.

I would recommend SABO to any organization that wants to have control over their ticketing setup, sales and fees and enjoys working with a company that has very strong customer support and service.”
