Marketing Data Anonimised – here you can see a breakdown of all your transactions (by event) with information on how many tickets bought and where customers heard about the event.
As today is the Summer Solstice, and as Cambridge Chorale are gearing up to present their Carmina Burana ahead of July’s performance of Summertime, it seems like a perfect day to post the company’s testimonial!
“With Oxboffice, Cambridge Chorale were finally in control of our ticket sales in a way that had never been possible before. I found it really easy to set up the event and the different types of tickets to sell, and the reports on the promoter pages were very useful for tracking how many tickets had been sold. Our advance ticket sales increased by almost 50% compared to previous concerts, which is due at least in part to the ease of buying online by following a link from the choir’s website and from other listings pages.
Esther Jackson and the customer services team were very supportive and responded quickly both to my questions and queries from our customers. Oxboffice is fantastic value as the level of commission is the lowest in the market and the service is in a completely different league from other box offices.”
Esther went to the Kenilworth Festival to see Lesley Smith from TV’s “Most Haunted” giving an inimitable account of the life of Queen Elizabeth I. Highlights included an amazing costume with the most uncomfortable looking (but authentic replica) underwear! The Kenilworth Festival must be credited with absolutely brilliant organisation. From crew in the car park to drinks on arrival the Festival was most welcoming and Lesley Smith was extremely gracious allowing us to take a couple of snaps with the iPhone.
“The Oxboffice system is really easy to use, both as a promoter and as a customer purchasing tickets. We have been very impressed by the service received, nothing is too much trouble and Esther is always at the end of a phone or email if we need advice or help with any of our events. We have already recommended Oxboffice to many of our contacts and look forward to continuing to use the Oxboffice service for a long time to come.”
Green Room Music have used Oxboffice for the last year. They have been a delight to deal with throughout the period and have removed from us the considerable burden of managing our own single ticket sales. The service is also particularly convenient for our ticket purchasers. I recommend most strongly that any music society should use Oxboffice as much as possible.
We’ve reduced commission rates on higher value tickets so that promoters can now sell their subscriptions and season tickets without having to pay as much.
£0 – £29.99 10%
£30 – £49.99 is now 9%
£50 and over is now just 7%
Don’t forget if you sell your own tickets for cash/cheque then there is no commission to pay.
Oxboffice, like so many others, booked tickets for the Oxford Folk Festival last weekend and spent an enjoyable day in sunny Oxford with many a Morris Dancer and other folk folk.
We joined up with them in the Holywell Music Room for a concert by the Oxford Concert Party supported by the festival’s very own community choir Rising Voices.
The Holywell Music Room is the oldest custom-built concert hall in Europe and is such a delightful venue. Fairly packed with festival-goers enjoying a wide range of music from around the world introduced hilariously by the Oxford Concert Party with, for one piece, a drunk cellist!
Hats off to the promoters – a big weekend which must’ve taken LOADS of organising. The punters and the musicians all looked like they were having a ball – we know we were!
At the end of March Oxboffice went to Cambridge for a concert promoted by the Cambridge Chorale. In the stunning setting of the Church of Our Lady and the English Martyrs which was decked out ready for Easter, a performance of sublime choral music dating as far back as the 16th century right up to the 20th.
Musical Director, Julian Wilkins, took a moment to make the excellent point of the rarity of such beautiful singing in a live concert performance and we couldn’t agree more!
The publicity for their performance of Carmina Burana on 27th June is absolutely brilliant – you must take a look here
