Ticketure provides a tiered support structure designed to meet the operational needs of venues of all sizes. Our core service includes access to the Ticketing Services Team, who manage configuration queries, functional questions, and day-to-day troubleshooting. Support levels are aligned to defined SLAs covering urgent, high, normal, and low-priority issues, each with clear response targets. Standard support, delivered during business hours, is included at no additional cost, while enhanced packages such as extended-hours cover or dedicated escalation pathways can be added depending on client requirements.
Pricing for enhanced support tiers is based on the level of responsiveness and availability required, including optional evening and weekend coverage. Out-of-hours support and our global “follow-the-sun” model ensure continuity during peak programme periods or late-night on-sales.
For clients requiring more strategic or technical oversight, Ticketure offers access to a Customer Success Manager (CSM) or Cloud Support Engineer. These roles provide additional value through proactive monitoring, release planning, performance optimisation, and coordination of complex configuration or integration work. CSM services are typically contracted as an add-on support tier, with fees determined by the expected engagement level and scope.
This structure ensures scalable, predictable support aligned to each organisation’s needs. - Support available to third parties

Onboarding and offboarding
- Getting started

Training can be tailored to different user groups, including ticketing staff, membership teams, and administrators, ensuring each team receives the level of detail appropriate to their role. Clients also gain access to knowledge-base resources, best-practice guides, and feature overviews to support continued learning. Ticketure’s Customer Success team provides additional assistance during onboarding, helping configure key elements, address early questions, and ensure a smooth transition into live operations.

- End-of-contract data extraction
- At the end of a contract, Ticketure provides a clear and secure process for full data extraction. All client data remains accessible throughout the contract, and upon termination, users can request a complete export of their information in commonly used formats such as CSV or JSON. Ticketure supplies structured datasets covering ticketing transactions, customer records, memberships, financial data, event configuration, and Gift Aid declarations. Extracts are generated through the platform’s administrative tools or via the REST API, depending on client preference. The Ticketure team supports the extraction process to ensure accuracy and integrity. All data is transferred securely, with encryption applied during transmission. After extraction, clients may verify completeness before their access is formally decommissioned. Ticketure retains no client data beyond agreed retention periods.
- End-of-contract process
-
At the end of the contract, Ticketure follows a transparent off-boarding process designed to ensure continuity, compliance, and secure data handling. We work with the client to agree final timelines, confirm the termination date, and identify any required data exports or integrations to support migration to a new provider. All customer, transaction, membership, and event data stored within Ticketure can be exported in standard formats, and data extraction is included within the contract price. During the off-boarding period, clients continue to receive standard support coverage until the agreed contract end date.
Ticketure ensures that data remains accessible to the client throughout the extraction period and that all exports follow security and privacy requirements. Once the client confirms successful receipt of the data, Ticketure will securely disable access and begin data-retention countdowns in accordance with our GDPR-compliant policies. Data is then deleted on an agreed schedule unless the client requests earlier erasure.
Additional costs may apply where a client requests bespoke data transformation, extended consultant support, or custom engineering work beyond standard extraction. Optional services such as extended access periods, migration assistance, or additional reporting outputs can also be purchased if required. The full off-boarding specification is provided on request. - Documentation accessibility standard

- Differences between the mobile and desktop service
- Ticketure is built as a mobile-first solution. Ticketure provides a fully responsive, cloud-based ticketing and membership platform that delivers a consistent experience across both mobile and desktop devices. The service is accessed through a web application rather than a separate mobile app, ensuring identical functionality and data integrity regardless of device. Functionally, both mobile and desktop versions share the same authentication, payment processing, membership management, and reporting systems. All activity synchronises in real time across devices, ensuring updates such as ticket purchases, donations, and membership changes are immediately reflected.
- Service interface
- Yes
- User support accessibility
- WCAG 2.2 AA
- Description of service interface
- The Ticketure service interface is a responsive, browser-based environment designed to provide a clear, intuitive user experience for both customers and venue staff. It presents event listings, ticket options, memberships, donations, and customer account tools in a clean, structured layout that adapts smoothly to any device. Navigation is streamlined, with simple menus, clear calls to action, and minimal steps to complete a transaction. For staff users, the interface supports efficient access to configuration settings, reporting, customer management, and operational tools. Overall, it prioritises usability, accessibility, and speed while keeping all functions consistent across mobile and desktop.
- Accessibility standards
- WCAG 2.2 AA
- Accessibility testing
-
Ticketure UK Ltd undertakes structured accessibility testing as part of its product development and quality-assurance processes to ensure the service interface is usable by customers who rely on assistive technologies. Testing is carried out using industry-standard tools and methods, including keyboard-only navigation checks, colour-contrast validation, and screen-reader compatibility assessments using software such as NVDA and VoiceOver. These tests ensure that key user journeys, including browsing events, completing forms, making payments, and accessing membership information, remain operable and perceivable without reliance on a mouse or visual cues alone.
In addition to automated checks and internal audits, Ticketure conducts scenario-based testing to replicate how users of assistive technologies interact with core functions, focusing on logical reading order, consistent labelling, focus indicators, and error-handling clarity. Findings from these sessions feed directly into the product roadmap and inform iterative improvements to layout, semantic structure, and interaction patterns. Where accessibility issues are identified, they are prioritised within the development cycle to ensure compliance with current WCAG requirements and to support an inclusive user experience.
Through this structured and repeatable testing framework, Ticketure demonstrates an ongoing commitment to accessibility and continuous improvement, ensuring its interface remains usable, intuitive, and barrier-free for all customers. - API
- Yes
- What users can and can't do using the API
-
Ticketure provides a modern, REST-based API designed to support secure, scalable integrations across ticketing, membership, CRM, finance, and venue-operations systems. The API uses standard HTTPS endpoints with JSON payloads and OAuth 2.0 authentication, ensuring secure, token-based access control. It enables real-time read/write operations for events, ticket availability, customer accounts, memberships, orders, donations, and Gift Aid declarations, allowing external systems to synchronise data accurately at every stage of the customer journey.
The API supports both outbound and inbound requests and is complemented by webhook notifications for key system events such as order creation, refunds, membership updates, and capacity changes. This ensures external systems can react instantly, reducing latency and improving operational consistency. Pagination, versioning, and rate-limiting mechanisms maintain stability during high-volume transactions and peak on-sale periods.
Comprehensive developer documentation is provided, including endpoint descriptions, sample requests, authentication guidance, and error-handling structures. The API is used by Ticketure clients to integrate CRM platforms, marketing systems, finance solutions, access-control hardware, and digital experience platforms.
This open, standards-driven design allows organisations to develop bespoke integrations while maintaining system security, performance, and data integrity, offering flexibility without introducing vendor lock-in. - API documentation

Scaling
- Independence of resources
- Ticketure guarantees resource independence through a fully cloud-native architecture hosted in isolated tenant environments. Each client operates within its own logically separated infrastructure, ensuring that increases in traffic, data processing, or system activity by one organisation cannot affect another. Automatic horizontal scaling allocates additional compute capacity during high-demand periods, maintaining consistent performance. Load balancing, autoscaling groups, and independent database instances prevent resource contention across tenants. Continuous monitoring allows proactive response to unusual activity, safeguarding performance and availability. This approach ensures stable, predictable service levels regardless of load generated by other Ticketure clients.
Analytics
- Service usage metrics
- Yes
- Metrics types
- Ticketure provides a comprehensive set of service usage metrics covering both operational performance and customer behaviour. Core metrics include ticket sales volume, conversion rates, peak traffic periods, capacity utilisation, membership activity, donation uptake, Gift Aid declarations, device usage, and user journey analytics. Administrative users can access real-time dashboards through Elastic Kibana, export reports, or integrate metrics into external BI tools via API. System health metrics such as uptime, response times, and error rates are also available. These insights support performance monitoring, forecasting, and continuous optimisation of sales, visitor engagement, and operational planning.
