From Paper Mess to Easy Booking: How TicketingHub Was Born
Before Facebook took the world by storm, I was at King’s College, fascinated by a social network called A Small World, designed to connect people for jobs, housing, and events.
Inspired, I launched Studentbox for students, but it didn’t soar like Facebook.
Spotting an opportunity with London's international students, often feeling 'Lost in London', I started a company catering to their needs. We organized events, sold tickets to major attractions, and even day trips.
Rapid growth followed, with a bustling office and thousands of tickets sold weekly. But our system was old-school. We used physical tickets in the digital age.
We faced a crisis. Our paper tickets were copied, causing a huge financial hit. That challenge sparked my "Aha Moment." I realized the tours and activities sector desperately needed a digital solution to streamline ticketing.
Selling my first venture, I founded TicketingHub, focusing on creating an easy-to-use online booking system.
This journey from a failed student network to TicketingHub shows the importance of focusing on one thing and adapting to challenges. This led to the birth of a solution that fills a major gap in the market.
What Makes a Booking System User-Friendly?
You need a tour booking platform that's not just a tool, but a first mate: intuitive, reliable, and ready to make your life easier at the click of a button.
That's where the heart of our TicketingHub journey begins—building an online booking system that's as friendly and helpful as the team behind it.
Here's what TicketingHub puts first when it comes to a user-friendly system:
Simple interface
A clean, straightforward design that guides users effortlessly. It's like the difference between a cluttered desk and a neat workspace. You know where everything is at a glance.
With TicketingHub, you get everything you need on one screen. One tap, and you can create your own product. One tap, and you can track your bookings.
Our team designed everything to be as simple as possible.
And happily, our clients loved it.
"It is a huge relief to be with TicketingHub. We are really thrilled after having been with a system that was difficult to use for too long."
Mobile optimization
In a world glued to smartphones, if your booking process isn't smooth on a mobile device, you're losing out. Big time.
So, we made booking tours on mobile devices easy with our booking widget. Easily fits your brand - check out in 5 to 6 steps.
Quick setup
We're busy people. Spending weeks setting up a system? No, thank you.
We help you through the whole process, from transferring data from one system to another, to setting up your online storefront. Our team is here 24/7.
Hear what a client said:
"My initial query was answered promptly and I was given a personal demo. Implementation was easy and Carl was super helpful and responsive throughout the process."
The quicker the setup, the sooner you can get back to what you do best – creating memorable tours.
Real-time availability
This is non-negotiable. The system has to keep up with your upcoming bookings as they happen, avoiding overbookings or missed opportunities.
With our real-time data sync solution, you can manage your slots and assets painlessly. Whether you're selling tickets in person, online, or through OTAs, our automated database will keep things running smoothly.
Automated communications
Automated emails for confirmations, reminders, and follow-ups are like having a personal assistant who never sleeps. It keeps your customers in the loop and reduces no-shows.
With TicketingHub, you can set up automated messages and reminders to keep your guests informed. We call this the message broadcast tool. You can send reminders and notifications via email or SMS.
Pro Tip: I suggest sending guest reminders via SMS. Why? Studies show SMS is 500% more effective than email. You can still use email. But a combination of both is much more effective.
What Sets TicketingHub Apart?
We do more than just meet your needs; we aim to make you happy. This means we sometimes create new features without charging extra and always offer helpful advice for free.
This approach makes us stand out and is why we're the only ticketing platform with perfect 5-star reviews on Capterra.
