A simple, all-in-one ticketing system for museums
Not every museum has the IT teams of the Louvre, the British Museum or New York's MoMA. That's why Explorates developed a simple, effective ticketing system designed for museums of every size. Our ticketing technology lets you sell entrance tickets to your museum online, 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, in real time.Our system is ready to use straight away and requires no programming knowledge whatsoever. Simply enter all your ticketing parameters on our platform. You define:
- The different types of tickets available. Decide, for example, whether to offer individual tickets, group tickets, or both.
- Your museum's opening hours. You can set specific time slots for entry if you want to manage visitor flow. This lets you put a precise quota of tickets on sale for each time slot.
- The number of tickets available each day.
- Admission prices. Here too, everything is configurable to suit your needs. You can set up special rates for children, students, seniors, families or groups, and you can also offer promotional codes.
- How your entrance tickets are delivered. Do you want visitors to present a digital ticket at the door, or would you prefer a print-at-home ticket?
Our booking module adapts to all screen types, whether smartphones (iPhone, Android…), tablets or desktop computers.
Once you have entered all your offering's parameters, you can install a booking module directly on your website. Visitors will then be able to book their tickets in just a few clicks and receive them instantly by email as soon as payment is confirmed.
You won't need to intervene at any point during the booking process. Sales run automatically according to the parameters you have set in advance. As soon as the maximum number of available tickets for a given day or time slot is reached, sales are automatically closed for that day or slot. Our platform also lets you monitor sales in real time.
Entrance tickets will naturally carry your museum's branding, and you retain full control over all communications with your visitors. You can define precisely the text sent along with the booking confirmation. A great opportunity to include all the essential practical information, for example, directions and opening hours.
