A simple and comprehensive ticketing system for museums

Because not all museums have the IT teams of the British Museum, the Louvre or the MoMA, Explorates has developed a simple and effective ticketing system for smaller museums. Our ticketing technology allows you to sell your museum's entrance tickets online, 24/7, in real time.
Our system is ready to use immediately and requires no programming knowledge. You simply need to enter all your ticketing parameters on our platform. You define:
  • The different types of tickets available. Specify whether they are individual tickets or group tickets, for example.
  • Your museum's opening hours. You can set specific entry time slots if you wish to regulate visitor flow. This allows you to sell a precise quota of tickets each hour.
  • The number of tickets available each day.
  • Entry prices. Here too, everything is customizable to your needs. You can set up special rates for children, students, seniors, families or groups. You can also offer promotional codes.
  • The method for sending your entry tickets. Do you want your visitors to present a digital ticket at the entrance, or do you prefer a printed ticket?
Our booking module adapts to all types of screens, whether smartphones (iPhone, Android...), tablets or desktop computers.
Once you've entered the various parameters of your offer, you can directly install a booking module on your website. Your visitors will then be able to book their tickets in just a few clicks and receive them immediately by email upon payment.
You won't need to intervene at all during the booking process. Sales are made according to the parameters you've previously defined. As soon as the maximum number of tickets available for a given day or time is reached, sales are automatically closed for that day or time. Our platform will also allow you to track sales in real time. The entrance ticket will, of course, feature your museum's branding, and you'll have complete control over all aspects of communication with your visitors. You can precisely define the text sent with the booking confirmation. This is an opportunity to reiterate essential practical information, such as a focus on access and museum opening hours.

Museum entrance tickets available all over the world!

Explorates is a member of Octo, the global consortium that sets the standards for online museum ticket sales. These rules are followed by the IT departments of all major museums worldwide and we adhere to them strictly. In other words, our booking system uses the same technical protocols as the most famous museums.
By complying with Octo standards, we can offer you a booking system that is directly linked to the booking systems of leading online agencies specializing in museum ticket sales. If you wish, you can resell your tickets on Viator or GetYourGuide, reaching tens of millions of visitors worldwide! The number of platforms connected to Explorates is constantly growing...
Your museum will then be visible on major platforms and your tickets will be bookable worldwide without you having to manage anything on a daily basis. Availability will be centralized and updated in real time by our booking system. A Viator customer in the US will then be able to book tickets for your museum at 10 PM New York time and receive their tickets by email immediately afterward.
Contact us to request a demonstration! We can show you in detail how our booking system works and how your museum's entrance tickets can be marketed worldwide.

How much does the museum booking system cost?

Explorates caters to both small and large museums looking for a simple and efficient system! We've therefore established a pricing structure that adapts to different uses, depending on whether you need a more or less technologically advanced solution.
If you manage a small museum, you can opt for our START package. This package is based on a booking fee for each admission ticket sold and a subscription. The booking fee is 2.50% of the net price of each ticket. This fee is deducted directly from the customer's payment. In addition, there is a monthly subscription fee of €39 (excluding VAT).
If you work for a much larger museum, please don't hesitate to contact us so we can advise you on the best package for your needs. We can also offer a solution specifically tailored to your requirements.
