What Others are Saying About Ticketing Systems from New Concepts Software
Wow, Amazing Trak Pro Reviews on CAPTERRA.COM
The Chesaning Showboat sails
during the second full week of July every summer. Volunteers work hard to bring
wonderful entertainment to town and people come from miles around to enjoy the small
town hospitality and see the show. You can find out more at our website:

We used the New Concepts Trak Pro ticketing software for the first time this year.
When we decided we needed computerized ticketing we went with Ticketmaster for two
years. Our staff consists of volunteers who are not very computer savvy and Ticketmaster’s
program was difficult for us to learn and complicated to use. The New Concepts program
is amazing. You only have to be able to read the screen to sell tickets. We were
all impressed with how easy it was to use. Our customers were also able to access
our website and buy tickets online easily. If a customer lost their tickets we could
replace them by checking the customer’s record and printing duplicates. At the end
of the day we printed reports for balancing and closing out. We were also able to
access and print sales reports that gave us details we needed just by going to any
computer with internet access. We were able to see what percentage of our customers
were buying online and what percentage were buying in person. We could track which
acts were selling better and adjust our advertising accordingly. We can also print
address labels to keep our customers informed about future events. This program
is a perfect fit for our venue.
Monty Boleyn and his staff went the extra mile helping us to set up and learn the
system. They never made us feel we were asking silly questions and always took the
time to make sure we understood their answers. When we had some special requests
for things we would like to see in our reports, Monty made adjustments to give us
what we needed.
We are so happy we found New Concepts and look forward to working with them for
many years to come.

Program is used to sell high
school season football tickets every summer. We have approximately 1400 football
season ticket holders with a total of 3800 reserved seats. New Concepts set up our
football stadium design from our information so that we can sell the same seats
to season ticket holders year after year. Love the program - easy to use and maintain.
We like being able to design and print our own tickets and customize them to our
needs. I received excellent one-on-one help from New Concepts. They always listened
to my questions and helped me to understand their program and how it could work
for us. Always available when I call and quick to respond. I would and have recommended
this software to other school districts. This software can also be used for other
events that go on in high schools; i.e, concerts, plays, etc. All customers and
sales are current and up-to-date. Easy to track information.

We would certainly recommend
New Concepts to other venues searching for a ticketing solution. The installation
and training was accomplished in two days. The system is user friendly and was quickly
mastered by our part-time staff allowing us the immediate capability for online,
phone, and walk-up sales with database creation and customizable detailed reporting
for both reserved and general admission scenarios. The customer service is always
accessible, professional and knowledgeable. The use of the New Concepts software
has created substantial new revenue streams for the venue while generating savings
for both Promoters and Patrons.

I like being able to actually
talk to a real person when I'm having problems. Tick-it meets my exact needs. It
is user and consumer friendly. Problems are few and far between (usually it's just
me), but when it isn't, the issues are promptly checked out and corrected. The initial
training was very comprehensive and I feel very comfortable doing things on my own.

The tech support has always
been very quick to respond to our needs in a friendly manner. Pros The ease of Internet
& Point of Sale ticket sales running on multiple stations has improved our customer
service. The software is very user friendly allowing our staff to process the work
load very efficiently. We have at our finger tips the opportunity to expand our
software needs when appliciable.

I would highly recommend the
Trak Pro products. The program features were just what we needed when we started
out just doing Box Office Sales, as we progressed to on-line ticketing and running
our own server the program has grown with us - in features and capabilities

"NEVER have I been treated so well by technical support
people as I have by you and your company. Moreover, you take the time to explain
the reasoning underlying the solution that you offer for the end user's difficulties,
an act much appreciated by those of us who want to know why the problem was created
as well as the solution.
Furthermore, Tick-It! 2K has been a gem. Though not flawless (we've
made several suggestions about changes we'd like to see), it has performed masterfully
with our theatre ticket programming. I like the house map display when it
comes up as the first thing the operator sees. The process of selling a ticket
is also a clear succession of logical steps. Program defaults are many and
varied, and the program also allows graceful modifications of existing events when
the user forgets something (oops) or needs to change something (oops). Ticket
printing is fast and sure; even a rare failure to print is quickly rectified by
the ticket reprint option. The supplied (optional) Friendly Ghost Language
Ticket Design program and the (optional) House Map Creator program are simple and
quick to learn for anyone with a small amount of computer knowledge.
In short, Tick-It! 2K has the most bang-for-the-buck of anything we've purchased
for this theatre. Thanks, again."

"My box office
staff and I feel that Tick-It! 97 has been a lifesaver. The larger ticket
systems were very much out of our price range. When I found Tick-It! 97 on
the Web, I was ecstatic. Not only was it very reasonable in cost, it is Windows
95 based which makes it user friendly for the University students to operate and
manage. Our audience has been very impressed and word is traveling to surrounding
arts organization who have not yet computerized their ticketing. Hopefully, I will
be able to share my knowledge of your technology with these organizations in the
near future. An added benefit with NCS is the support you offer through the Internet.
This is an incredible service. Thanks again for a wonderful product!"

I just ran an end of the year report
for ticket sales in our box office. Beginning September 1, 1997 and ending May 1,
1998, we sold 56 performances, 15,374 tickets valued at $
XX,XXX.XX
.
I can not imagine doing this much output without a reliable system. Plus I could
run this report at the touch of a couple of buttons. Fabulous!!!! Thank you for
a great system.

"Going from a manual ticketing system to Tick-It! allows me to sleep at night without worrying about all of the inaccuracies of hand writing orders and manually adding totals. I can now say yes to many new ideas our Institute has that will allow our audience to grow because I am no longer spending all of my time creating reports and all of the other day to day workings because Tick-It! does it for me and much more accurately! I am glad that I chose this system."

Tick-It! 97 was reviewed in the March, 1998 issue of Stage Directions by author Patrick Finelli. Here is a short exerpt:
" ... If your Box Office is not computerized, then Tick-It! offers a total package for a moderate price. If you are already paying a per-ticket price for Ticketmaster or Select-a-Seat, then Tick-It! might offer a lower cost in-house alternative ..."

"This is George Piehl at Stage One. I came by your address and decided to send off a quick note just to tell you again that we think the software is great. I'm sure that most of the time all you get is problem e-mail and might like to hear that the box-office program is really good."
