On The Stage - We Couldn’t Do Theatre Without Them!
Why would theatre people want to work with anyone other than theatre people? We wouldn’t, and OTS is the best there is. Not only do they understand the industry at a professional level on down to a small community theatre level, the team at OTS is actively working to make our main job easier - doing excellent theatre. I cannot recommend them enough, and I always recommend them new colleagues in the performing arts world.
- It’s ease of use; ANYONE can learn how to use On The Stage quickly and effectively
- From box office transactions to creating events to important analytics, OTS does it all easily
- And guess what
- If I can’t figure a feature out the AMAZING OTS support teams are always there with an answer
- Event registration is a new feature, and right now is it the absolute best
- No, HOWEVER, given our past history with OTS this system will grow and change based on ease of use
- Overall, I have no negative comments or thoughts about OTS

10/10 recommend!
10/10 recommend! Has upgraded our production season and made it so much quicker!
The ease of use, streamline box office, show marketing, online production site, and fundraising
Somethings are behind a paywall, not able to customize emails for fundraising & each performing can't have their own page on a fundraiser

We did not like the non user friendly set up. Plus it was also very disjointed and costly.
Why they chose it
"Overall the options were better with OTS."

OTS Useful for Self-Producing Performing Artists

More design features and options for the ticketing website would be great, like changing font types, etc
Why they chose it
"Good customer service."

Accesssible for Small Theaters
Overall I've been using it for 2+ years and it's the best free (passed on to patron fee) I could find.
I love the easy to publish ticket sites and how once everything was set up it streamlined event creation and running fundraisers
- I don't like that I have no say in the marketing
- I would rather be able to customize event/fundraiser marketing while creating the event as just another step
- So that when everything is published marketing that is concurrent with the event goes with it
- Not this continuously over used trite shit

Eventbrite was going to start charging for events of over 25 people. And they do not allow for online fundraisers.
Why they chose it
"Honestly, the customer service, but in the past few years that has been more annoying than helpful."

Great platform for schools
Our first year with On the Stage was great! Quick payments, easy ticketing, great way to collect donations, and having the merchandise available for purchase for our shows was definitely a big plus!
- We have been able to make great, professional-looking websites for our high school productions
- It's also allowed us to offer families more options for purchasing and paying for tickets, at their convenience instead of only school hours
- The seating chart feature takes some getting used to
- I had to redo the charts several times before getting the hang of it
- Fortunately, the online support is very helpful and responsive

I was frustrated with waiting months for a payment. I was also impressed with all the additional features and options available.
Why they chose it
"The additional features, website design, merchandising, donation and fundraising options, superior customer service and support -- great communication!!!"

Great way to sell tickets without hassle
I am overall pleased with the service. This is my 3rd time using it.
What I like most about On The Stage is being able to pass the fees on to the patrons
- What I least like most about On the Stage is the challenges in creating a seating chart
- The videos and step-by-step didn't cover all I needed to know
- I figured in out by doing trial by error
Switched From
It is easier to use and less expensive to use.

OTS is a must have for my department
Using OTS is an important and valued part of what we do in my educational program. I could not do what I do as well without OTS.
- Ease of use, user friendly, automatic email marketing
There have been times when I've gotten a bit confused but another great thing about OTS is that they continually update and improve
Switched From
OTS was more user friendly and had more options.

On The Stage Production Marketing and Ticket Sales Platform
Our 25 year community theater decided to step into the 21st century and start selling tickets using an automated online system. We researched many companies that sell event tickets and found On the Stage, which by far was the best and most economical. At NO COST, the initial set-up required about an hour of training and a day of practice for expertise through process. We can create production marketing events, set-up ticketing, and event have reserved seating, al at no cost to the theater, passing the small ticket fees to the patron, with no complaints. We can even sell merchandise at NO UPFRONT cost, where OTS takes care of the production, shipping and fees, and pays us net. I have personally recommended OTS to five different theater groups.
OTS is an easy to use (NO COST TO THEATER) even and production marketing tool that also permits the patron to purchase tickets and reserve seats while review all show content, cast and other news
- I really can't say anything negative about OTS
- It has improved as we went along the way, and it still has some room for a little growth, but the value for benefit far outweigh any small limitations it may have at this time
Why they chose it
"No cost, Ease of Use, Customer Support and Training, and Functionality."
