Introduction

The theater is a magical space where stories, emotions, and creativity intertwine. From classic plays to concerts and festivals, theaters in Buenos Aires are cultural epicenters offering a wide range of performances. In cities like Mar del Plata and La Plata, ticket demand for these events is high, highlighting the importance of having an efficient online ticketing system. Such a system not only makes ticket purchasing easier for the public but also optimizes sales and revenue management for organizers, ensuring each event is a resounding success.

Problem

You run an independent theater and, while the artistic program is solid, your main headaches are operational and commercial:

Multiple performances and low margin for error

Each play has at least four performances per week. Coordinating schedule changes, replacements, or short seasons via Excel sheets leads to internal confusion and audiences buying tickets for the wrong showtime.

Traditional ticketing commissions

The 15% fee on each ticket takes a significant chunk of revenue, forcing you to raise prices or cut fees paid to performers. On top of that, the purchasing experience displays another company’s logo instead of your own.

Poor data visibility

Legacy platforms barely deliver a CSV file. You can’t see conversion funnels or seat heatmaps per production.

Fragmented customer service

Your team responds to inquiries via Instagram, WhatsApp, and phone. When the venue sells out or there’s a cast change, the messages flood in, and you have no unified contact center.

Manual end-of-day reconciliation

If you sold at the physical box office, you have to reconcile ticket rolls, cash, and Mercado Pago manually. A 5% error can mean a deficit in a tight-margin business.

Solution

With Fanz White-Label Ticketing for Theaters, you remove friction from end to end.

1. Unlimited play and show management

   

   • Create full seasons in just a few clicks, duplicate a production for the next fortnight, and publish extra performances when a date sells out.

   • The drag-and-drop calendar automatically updates your website and sales link — no calls to the programmer needed.
     
     

2. 3D seat map with premium seating

   

   • Import your venue’s layout or design it from scratch with our 3D tool.

   • Set up VIP areas, discounts for limited-visibility seats, and press/critic comps.

   • The buyer sees the real view from the seat — fewer complaints, higher conversions.

     
     

3. True white-label branding

   

   • Own domain (tickets.yourvenue.com), your logo, and color palette.

   • Automated emails go out with your branding. The spectator remembers your venue, not a middleman.
     
     

4. Immediate payout

   

   • Get paid directly into your Stripe account or via bank transfer.

   • The only optional fee is paid by the buyer — and you can set it to zero if you want to absorb it.
     
     

5. Real-time analytics

   

   • Dashboard with sales by day, week, and production.

   • Seat heatmap: spot rows that sell slowly and launch targeted promos.

   • Conversion funnel: identify drop-offs at the “select seat” step and improve copy or pricing.

     
     

6. 24/7 chatbot + Help Center

   

   • The bot answers FAQs (“Is there a student discount?”, “How do I change my ticket?”) in 2 seconds.

   • Only escalates complex cases to staff, reducing DMs by up to 95%.
     
     

7. One-click end-of-day closure

   

   • Automatic consolidation of box office, online pre-sales, and same-day sales.

   • Export your reconciliation report to PDF and send to your accountant without retyping numbers.
     
     

8. Marketing automations

   

   • 24-hour reminders before each performance with a “How to get there” link.

   • Post-show upsell: offer the next production to attendees of the previous one.

   • Referral program: the audience member shares their link and gets cashback on the next purchase.

   • The system’s AI analyzes past purchases and user activity to optimize email strategies, increasing sales.
