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

“We began using On The Stage during the pandemic when we had to shift our spring show to an online radio production. Since then we have continued using the platform to organize our ticketing and show site, and have loved it!”

Lindsey W.

Director

“I love that it is user-friendly enough that our student "publicity committee" can mostly set up the website on their own, and that it streamlines ticket sales for our front office.”

Lindsey W.

Director

“Our organization has really enjoyed the On the Stage platform overall. If we ever have any question or concern, they are easy to reach, very responsive and always helpful.”

Heather B.

Executive Director

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

“She bought 10 tickets to my show. And not only did I have to refund her the money, but I had to pay fees for each ticket that I had to refund.”

Colby J.

Artistic Director

“That is my biggest thing with them is recently I had a lady emailed me and told me that she didn’t read the website and she thought that we were in Texas and we are in Georgia. ”

Colby J.

Artistic Director

“What I least like most about On the Stage is the challenges in creating a seating chart.”

Christine P.

Owner
