Why Mobile Ticketing?

The Paciolan client community serves fans and patrons with the most convenient and delightful experience so that they will come back, again and again. The trends show that we must meet them where they are the most: on mobile devices.

They Do Everything on Mobile Devices

All adults are on smartphones. And we have it with us constantly, 22 out of 24 hours of the time. It’s our photo album, calendar, gaming system, music player, email, social connections, and thanks to over a billion electronic boarding passes last year, we now know that it is also our ticket.

Including, Troubleshooting

73% of us want to do it ourselves. And we can now because our constantly connected lives have trained us to find solutions on our own. The best customer service is the one we don’t have to call.

Foundations are important and ours is two-pronged. Preparing for mobile ticketing starts with ticket operations to make sure your office is equipped. Let’s make sure your fans and patrons have what they need.

  1. Tap into educational materials, communication strategies with your fans & patrons, and troubleshooting tips with the mobile ticketing app strategy guide. Then download the mobile templae guide to learn how to set up your mobile pass for a regular pass, NFC, and parking on iPhone and Android. Mobile Template Guide Mobile Ticketing App Strategy Guide

  2. With SMS delivery, fans and patrons have the option to receive links to their tickets via text message. Connected Tickets in digital wallets can be updated to reflect event or status changes. Mobile Delivery Setup Mobile Email Confirmation Setup

  3. "My Account" has enhanced self-serve features that allow for effortless ticket transfer, digital wallet integration, and view upcoming events. Ticket Transfer Setup Guide Inventory Setup Guide My Account 2.0 Guide Add All to Wallet Transfer Enhancements

  4. Utilizing the option of NFC-enabled tickets is entirely contactless. Fans and patrons can easily and securely enter venues by scanning their mobile tickets or have the choice of placing their phone or Apple Watch near a reader. It eliminates the need to search pockets or worry about misplacing paper tickets, plus it helps reduce fraud and assist organizations in better understanding who attends their events.
