Best for theaters and campuses that run a box office
Audience View is ticketing and audience software for theaters, venues and campuses, covering box office, donations and memberships. No price is published, and it is built for organised venues, not one-off events.
Who Audience View is for
- Fits if you run a theater or campus venue with a box office
- Works for organisations that sell memberships and take donations
Who Audience View is not for
- Skip it if you want a price, because it asks for a request form
- Not for you if you run a one-off event, as it is built for organised venues
- Pricey if you need extra seating charts, which the page says may carry a fee
- Watch out: the Professional edition is quoted as either a subscription or per-ticket

Keep Audience View, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Audience View you could make: reports and forms. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 57 of the 79 other event ticketing platforms grade higher.
What you could make
- Reports and forms: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Selling tickets and checking them at the door.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Audience View’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
