Pros

“The platform allows me to host various events throughout the year from ticket events to registrations.”

Breanne O.

Dance Department Director

“One of the MOST important aspects of any event is to assure proper preplanning and have customer service available during the event for any last minute changes or to troubleshoot to keep the event running smoothly.”

Kathy C.

Admissions

“We especially appreciate the ease with which we can post events and develop ticketing options, with how-to videos conveniently embedded in the relevant sections of the template. And patrons have commented on the ease of buying tickets through Purplepass, not always what we heard before we switched.”

Charlie S.

Executive Director

Pros

“Using the badge printing system saved us a lot of time close to the conference, as we were able to focus on the last-minute needs of our registrants instead of printing/re-printing, stuffing, and shipping badge holders ahead of time.”

Beth G.

Director of Meetings

“The system is user-friendly, setup is simple, and having our iPads and printers work seamlessly together has made the check-in process much smoother for both our staff and attendees.”

Paige D.

Operations Admin

“Our attendees liked that they were able to make corrections to their badges prior to printing and appreciated how the printing speed expedited their check-in/registration process.”

Beth G.

Director of Meetings

Cons

“We ran into a couple of people who wanted to make partial refunds (like they bought 5 tickets but only needed 3) and we had to refund the entire order and make them purchase the seats they wanted again, as there isn't currently a way to do that. If there were a slightly easier way to give refunds and make exchanges (that was a little difficult to navigate at first as well!)”

Courtney M.

Director of Student Productions

“The only issue we had was tha amount of banks that flag purple pass and do not allow cards to purchase via their website initially.”

Natalie M.

Owner

“We found the remote ticket scanners to be a little slow on the ticket verification process.”

John B.

Director

Cons

“Unfortunately, the venue can charge an exorbitant fees for a dedicated hardline and power drops for the equipment, and you might not take that into account when signing up for this service.”

Marlyn F.

Meetings and Events Logistics Manager

“On one occasion, there was some confusion regarding the shipment of the Expo Pass system, and the details seemed to get lost in communication.”

Paige D.

Operations Admin

“Additionally, one drawback we encountered was with the magic link feature, which isn't always compatible for certain industries, like government agencies, due to specific security protocols.”

Kelsey W.

Director at Large - Board Member Marketing and Communications
