Leading white label ticketing solution meets unique challenges to provide popular California historical landmark the timed-ticketing solution needed to optimize sales and meet the increasing demands of growing visitor volume.
(SAN JOSE) — VBO Tickets, an industry frontrunner in ticketing and event management solutions, has successfully teamed up with Winchester Mystery House, a popular San Francisco Bay Area tourist attraction listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
VBO Tickets’ challenges with Winchester Mystery House required unique and highly-advanced ticketing logic in order to maximize tour capacity and sales revenue on a day to-day-basis. Its previous system, along with others they researched, fell short in meeting the state-of-the-art infrastructure required to achieve their needs to sell multiple tour tickets à la carte and as a combo package, while factoring in tour duration times, as well as support group discounts and “Skeleton Key” member pricing — all in a single transaction.
As the complexity of tour duration became increasingly problematic, leading toward overbooking for the beloved mansion, VBO Tickets’ advanced-time ticket logic quickly proved to be the foundation of the sophisticated solution WMH needed. VBO Tickets worked closely with WMH’s management team and tour managers to implement an ideal system comprised of many valuable features, including:
– Advanced-Timed Ticketing logic to manage hundreds of tours daily at the historical property.
– Unparalleled flexibility and control to add, modify and book tour time slots, ticket quantities and group bookings in real-time.
– A special package that selects a combination of à la carte tours, including calculated discounts and tour time overlap protection.
– VBO Pay point-of-sale system for secure Chip and PIN credit cards and ApplePay transactions on-site.
“The VBO Tickets platform delivers the unique requirements of Winchester Mystery House and satisfied their pursuit to design the ultimate customer experience and implement a sustainable and scalable system for its entire tour operation,” said VBO Tickets VP of Sales, Ríque Villa. “We are proud to provide the needed infrastructure to such a respected and adored historic California landmark.”
