### "logically the best in this field."

April 9, 2024

5.0

Pros

The customer service is outstanding. Every person we've worked with has been very attentive and knowledgable from day one.

Cons

There are a few little quirks here and there that we've had to overcome but there has always been someone quick to help in any situation.

### "So glad we switched!"

July 17, 2024

5.0

Overall, we are thrilled with this service and so happy we were able to make the change so smoothly.

Pros

The assistance of the account rep and the on-site coordinator put this service above all others. The built-in 5G wifi made our connectivity of the past a distant memory. We were able to tackle problems on site as they happened and process our fans quickly through entry and box office.

Cons

The reporting is cumbersome and hard to decipher. However, they did provide someone who was able to better explain so that appropriate information could be pulled and evaluated.

Pros

Easy to set up with my dedicated human consultant! Found bugs and errors and cleaned them up in minutes!

Cons

So many bells and whistles for what I need... It's impressive what they can accomplish, but it can be daunting for someone not using all the features!

### "Afton meets all of our essential ticketing needs!"

April 4, 2024

5.0

I had the chance to meet the \[sensitive content hidden\] at a conference and was immediately struck by his ethics. This was big for me because the ticketing software industry is dominated by a few massive companies who allow fraudulent events to clog their sites. Since day one working with Afton we've been stoked on their customer service, their ease of use and their reliability. We get weekly emails from ticketing companies trying to convince us to try out their products and it never crosses our minds to give them a shot because Afton has been spectacular.

Pros

Afton is incredibly responsive and we can always count on them to care about our experience with them.

Cons

This isn't really an issue but since they're not a huge company sometimes there are features we'd like to see that they don't yet offer. When we bring those feature ideas to them though they do their best to implement them as fast as possible though!

### "Afton Tickets is a value-add ticketing platform with real humans for support"

March 13, 2024

5.0

Afton Tickets is amazing! I love that they provide us with ticket scanners and mobile hotspots so we don't have to coordinate getting internet to our site (or paying our venue a TON for internet usage). We know the scanners will work and it's a plug and play once they arrive; you really just have to practice a few times with your volunteers because it really is SO EASY to use! It's definitely sped up our check-in time which in turn has created a better attendee experience for us.

Pros

We love that Afton Tickets allows us to either pay them for their service or pass along as a small fee on each ticket; very similar to other ticketing providers but at a much lower cost AND you're getting so much value from them! We love that when we need help, it's quick and we can reach a human. We were assigned a dedicated account representative when we became a client and she's been nothing short of amazing! What's even better is they provide a contact tree, so if you ever can't get ahold of your rep (never has happened), you have options to reach a human in other ways!

Cons

I really don't have any complaints about Afton Tickets.

About 2 years ago. We were disappointed in a plugin we purchased through WordPress to do ticketing and their lack of customer service when their product crashed, leaving us in a bad spot one week prior to one of our events. We've not had this problem since switching to Afton Tickets.

### "The one-stop shop"

April 4, 2024

5.0

Afton provides very helpful and patient customer service and user- friendly systems for online ticket purchases and on-site POS sales & tracking. Their livestream system is flexible. All is provided transparently at a reasonable cost.

Pros

Our small NFP performing arts organization is run by volunteers, so Afton is a great solution for providing our audiences (and us) with a professional and efficient system for selling tickets to both live & livestreamed performances, and accurate audience tracking. They provide easy-to-use POS equipment & system.

Cons

Providing more insight and coaching for social media integration would be helpful. Also was surprised by a requirement to return POS equipment after first event series ended.

5.0

Pros

easy to scan tickets at gate, easy online purchases

Cons

need to have daily deposits and not hold money until event is over

Reason for choosing Afton Tickets

Afton Tickets never always had a secure Wi-Fi connection at the gates. We are a rural community and that was very important

### "Best Ticketing Software (and more)"

April 3, 2024

5.0

Pros

I've been using Afton for a number of years. The customer service is stellar. The platform has changed so much since I started, and for the better. The Afton team understands pivoting with the times and to keep their product updated as well. I've used the platform for a live event, but mostly use it for ticketing for our festivals.

Cons

I don't have any cons. I've always had a great experience.

### "Would never use anyone else"

March 30, 2020

5.0

Our experience with Afton has been been a great one, there are NO HIDDEN costs, what they tell you, you are paying and getting is exactly what you pay and get. They walked us through everything and never made us feel stupid for all the questions we asked. Their staff worked hand in hand with ours and never abandoned us.

Pros

The data we get from this software is amazing. The amount of work it has taken off our shoulders has been a huge relief to our staff. The price is really affordable especially to a company as small as ours

Cons

The only problem we ever had was a glitch in the ticket machine in our office kept turning off, as soon as we let them know it was fixed right away

Reason for choosing Afton Tickets

We choose Afton because they were willing to train everyone on their products without hidden costs, they walked us through the contract nice and slow and answered every question we had. It is not just buying into software when you work with Afton, it is a true partnership. They check on us all year not just when an event is coming up.

February 23, 2020

5.0

I have the power and knowledge to know where my online advanced sales are coming from and how they are doing so that I can make educated decisions on how to improve.

Pros

The software is built with festival and event managers in mind. Easy to use on the front end for the customer, and a robust back end full of data and details. Super flexible - can change ticketing on the fly during an active event. Support is stellar.

Cons

Because it is so robust on the back end - I sometimes get lost in data - not sure that's all bad.

October 12, 2021

5.0

Pros

Afton was a fantastic partner for a live-stream virtual concert/fundraiser. The most crucial need, other than a high-quality video/audio, was detailed reporting. They helped us out by setting up and tracking nearly 300 affiliate links so that all charitable funds could easily be distributed. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] and the team made everything a breeze on our end.

Cons

No issues to report, everything worked perfectly.

### "All around great experience!"

September 25, 2021

5.0

The software is so easy to use and integrate with, but the team at Afton are really great to work with. They take a partnership approach to the service and guidance they provide. They really help you to make sure your event is successful. We have no reason to look elsewhere for our future events. Many fans have given us very positive feedback about the quality of our shows.

Pros

Its almost effortless to set up an event and build ticketing options. Having the stream service + ticketing system all in one definitely saves time and effort. The things I like most are the self-service options for creating experiences for your audiences, such as adding pre-show content, chat options and integrating with our Shopify store. The tip jar features that allow different levels of viewer engagement was a great success to let our fans acknowledge and thank the amazing hard work from our tech and AV team members. And most importantly, the quality of the stream is second to none for the audience! And we have watched a lot of streamed events on many different platforms in the past 2 years. There are always technical or glitchy issues that impact your the watch experience. We've not experienced that with Afton.

Cons

It will be an even greater experiences and more convenient for our fans when Afton allows for multi-day event ticket bundling. And it would be nice to include images in ticket options. But, none of these things are a show stopper. The quality of their platform from a user and audience perspective are worth working around these things. Afton has done a great job taking in customer feedback and incorporating changes based on our needs.

### "Afton Ticketing"

June 4, 2021

5.0

We like the turnkey solutions, Afton has their own fully wired production and concert venues to use nationwide with their system. However, any of our venue promotions easily integrate with Afton's solution, and the fees are more than reasonable. Good deal overall, good value proposition.

Pros

A straightforward easy to use turnkey ticketing system, daily reports, easy integration with promoted acts to box office sales, ease in merged records; a helpful team to interface with platform integration to social media promotion and advertising. The assigned account representative paying attention to a presenter or promoter's events is pretty outstanding, very love-able in fact as few other platforms assign an individual rep to be your hands on pilot.

Cons

The "Brand-ability" of the white label solution can use one more tweak, and a link to preview video as provided is good. It just doesnt show the preview (yet) on the ticketing page; as compared to the entry for ticketed screening watch page. I understand this is being modified as a solution.

### "A NECESSITY FOR CHEERpros"

March 17, 2024

5.0

Our experience with Afton has been so great! The support from the Afton staff is incredible. They are always ready to help and quick to help to make sure that everything goes smoothly. The follow up is also something that I love. As a client, we never feel like we're just another client. There is constant communication. The system works well and we've only had a few times where we needed assistance on the day of an event. The Afton reps are quick to assist with whatever is needed to ensure a smooth event.

Pros

Afton tickets makes our admissions and ticketing system a smooth and cashless process for our events. It allows our staff to not have to worry about cash transactions on the day of the event.

Cons

We have not run into any issues with Afton that wasn't immediately handled for us. The customer service is top notch!

January 22, 2021

5.0

Excellent, their staff are great, responsive and even worked through some unique situations we wanted to try and made them happen. Couldn't have done that with our previous system.

Pros

Afton setup our account and after that the system was very easy to use! We'd been using another service provider to manage our sales for what I would have expected to be a lower fee but their equipment costs keep racking up. Afton includes all of that for you for your events deployment.

Cons

Honestly nothing, compared to our other system it was just much cleaner of a system across the board. The laser scanning was well worth it.

### "Excited to Continue our Partnership with Afton Tickets"

March 17, 2020

5.0

Prior to working with Afton Tickets, our company used a variety of online ticketing platforms and while these other platforms got the job done. There was no personal touch, no equipment provided, and customer service was spotty. We were referred to Afton by one of our vendors and we are so happy we decided to make the switch. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] have been a phenomenal help making the transition and they have both gone above and beyond our expectations. The platform in general is clean and easy to use, our event attendees have mentioned the ticket buying process being much easier. Overall, Afton tickets has helped us to deliver a more professional and personal ticketing experience for our guests and we are excited to continue our partnership on many more events in the future

Pros

When it comes to onsite ticket sales, the Afton system has cut our box office waiting times in half. The systems reliability, user friendly features, and cash handling/tracking has made running our events much smoother. With our specific event there are two checkpoints where a ticket needs to be scanned. Aftons handheld ticket system has made scanning and tracking tickets much easier compared to our old hole punching system.

Cons

Initially upon contracting, the customer facing ticketing pages lacked branding capabilities and other special features. However, these have all been upgraded throughout their website revamp.

Pros

I love the ease of use with the platform they created! I also love the team that Afton has working for them. Customer service is much better than other similar companies we have used.
