To solve this challenge, Computicket created Box Office: a new self-service platform that offers organisers the full benefit of its distribution platform, which includes selling tickets online and\/or at the Money Market counters in Shoprite, Checkers and Usave supermarkets nationally \u2013 an option not commonly available for smaller events.<\/p>\n<p>Since its soft launch earlier in 2022, Computicket Box Office has sold more than 130 000 tickets, of which the majority has been sold in stores.<\/p>\n<p>This new service democratises event organisation and ticket sales in South Africa, explains Kurt Drennan, GM of Computicket.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe volume of tickets sold in Shoprite, Checkers and Usave stores demonstrates the demand for greater accessibility, which we offer via our extensive store footprint. With the ability to choose between online-only or online alongside offline sales and doing so in a self-service manner, we\u2019re enabling organisers of smaller events to tap into the ticketing technology that sets Computicket apart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe turnaround time to load events is key. If I need to load my event within the next ten minutes, then I\u2019m able to do that myself. This is especially useful for event companies just starting out and that don\u2019t have existing relationships with ticketing systems \u2013 it\u2019s marvelous to be able to load events so quickly and easily,\u201d says Sindi Mnguni, a comedy show organiser.<\/p>\n<p>The feature-rich Computicket Box Office platform also enables organisers to issue complimentary tickets and discount codes, and organisers of free events can make use of its services at no cost.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"post-views-icon dashicons dashicons-chart-bar\"><\/span> <span class=\"post-views-label\">Press Release Views:<\/span> <span class=\"post-views-count\">122<\/span> <\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/computicket-box-office-self-service-platform-democratises-sa-ticketing-services\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republish for Free Republish This Story Republish our articles for free, online or in print, under a Creative Commons license.
