Why a mobile box office?
The new Box Office Express is designed to be fast and easy no matter where you're using it, and we're especially excited about our new mobile box office feature. With a Nexus 9 tablet running our Android app and a special credit card swiper, you can sell tickets from more places than just your traditional box office window:
- If you have long lines before a show, set up another sales station on the other side of the lobby to move people along faster.
- If you get a lot of foot traffic outside your building or a few blocks away, have a representative take PatronManager's mobile box office outside and sell some tickets right there on the street.
- If you want to encourage people to buy tickets for next month's show during intermission, have someone roam around with the tablet and let patrons buy tickets in the lobby or even at their seats!
