Can I sign up and set up a festival or season before I choose a payment plan?

Yes! You can sign up and have a look around, set up your festival or season and test with up to 5 events and 1 venue. You choose your payment plan when you are ready to go live and open for applications / registrations.

Do you set up a new festival or season for me?

Generally festival or season managers do their own set-up. However, we do offer a concierge service if you are new to the platform and would like us to build your festival / season for you. Our experienced team will work with you and complete the setup to your specifications plus provide bespoke training – so you get the most out of the platform.

Can I use my existing box office?

Eventotron’s built-in Super Simple Box Office is included in all pricing plans (additional ticket fees apply) and syncs automatically with your website. However, if you are not ready to make the switch you can continue to use your existing box office. We have an exporter for some leading ticketing systems to make the flow of data easier.

How long does it take to get up and running with Eventotron?

Setting up your festival or season, creating your application / registration forms with our easy to use form builder, adding any payment templates and automatic fees can all be done in an hour or so.

Once you’ve collected all the information you need from events and venues and are ready to start selling tickets – it’s possible to get your whole festival or season on sale on your website in 5 minutes.
