Our mission
Virtual Box Office's aims are to provide a high-quality, always-available, cost-effective online ticketing solution. With a focus on small, amateur and semi-professional markets, Virtual Box Office is free for many organisations, helping grow non-professional entertainment around the world.
There are many organisations and groups out there who need ticketing or booking software, but simply can't afford traditional services. Virtual Box Office was created to cater to those markets, as we dont believe they should they miss out!
These markets include, but aren't limited to:
- Amateur performance companies
- Schools and educational groups*
- Not-for-Profit, Charity or NGO groups
- Semi-professional companies in start-up mode
So who are we?
A team of Information Technology, Entertainment and Retail Technology specialists have joined forces to create Virtual Box Office. Our team covers a wide and unique range of skillsets and experience, including:
- Online Ticketing Solutions
- Event Management
- Theatre Production and Direction
- Software Development
- Retail Merchandising and Marketing
- Data Centre Management
- Cloud Computing design and development
Our team have a combined 40+ years of experience in both the IT and Event Management industries, providing Virtual Box Office with a solid management structure and roadmap for the future.
Why are we doing this?
There are many reasons, but to summarize our position:
- Non-commercial organisations, in particular schools and amateur performing arts companies, are being charged exorbitant ticketing rates by the industry
- We want to see non-commercial organisations grow - and this is our way of helping!
- This is a great opportunity to put something back into the community!
- These services help non-commercial organisations promote their shows and events to a much wider audience by reducing operational costs.
- It reduces the budgeting need of non-commercial organisation - the same fee applies for 1 ticket or 1,000 tickets - nothing!
- We're sick of the hidden fees that have become "standard" within the global ticketing industry.
- We hope to make a difference - particular in forcing our larger competitors to be more community spirited!
