Solve your seat booking problem
with RAGS: Seatpicker.
Cost: For a monthly fee of £100 ( + £20 SagePay fee), you can have on-line seat
booking for your events. For telephone bookings, the booking clerk merely
logs on to the website too. On the day of the event, lock down the internet and
run locally in your booking office.
Avoid constantly manned booking offices and make the leap to internet booking where
the customer does the work for you.
RAGS has been redesigned to be a simple web-based seat booking system. An easy to use on-line event editor allows you to quickly set up events which then lets your customers
instantly start booking your seats on-line. RAGS has teamed up with SagePay, formerly
PROTX, to provide the secure payment gateway. At the point of booking, your customers see your custom seat plan. Available seats are hot, booked seats are not. The seat
plan can be any kind of layout, it could be a campsite or an events hall with tables
for example or a comedy club, theatre,cinema. The clickable areas can even represent
Days of the month or times of the day for Calendar type booking - the beauty is
it works in the same way, available 'hot' items are selected and paid for on-line,
booked items are not hot and can't be selected.
The event editor has a 'Strict seating' tick box, which forces customers to choose seats if ticked, or allows them to sit anywhere on the night if not ticked.
Here is an example of your on-line event editor:
Its really simple to use. Check out what your customer sees here.
