At accesso®, we know the power virtual queuing holds. With the right virtual queue management system in place, operators can free guests from long, unnecessary lines and reap the benefits: happier guests, smoother operations and boosted revenue

Every year, live entertainment venues work diligently to get their patrons renewed and onboard for another year of can’t-miss programming, and that time has come once again! Bringing loyal patrons and excited newcomers together is a thrilling time for any operator, but one that comes with its fair share of challenges.

Our team was excited to be back in person for this year’s INTIX Annual Conference – the biggest annual event for ticketing professionals – earlier this year. Our own Director, Global Payments Michael Wiggins took the stage alongside colleagues from Accertify and accesso ShoWareSM Center to present an educational session on cybersecurity, “Behind the Screen: Patron Identity and Cybersecurity in 2022 and Beyond.”

We were so happy to be a part of the Blooloop V-Expo Innovation Awards this year! If you missed it, here's an overview of our application.

Virtual queuing solutions can go by many names. Whether you call it a line management system or a virtual queue management suite, the benefits are the same: getting guests out of line and into more enjoyable experiences—resulting in higher NPS scores, new revenue streams, and more repeat visits! Watch our video to learn more about our accesso LoQueue® virtual queuing solutions and how virtual queuing works.

Pricing strategy is undoubtedly a critical and powerful component of any business strategy. Yet, many organizations still utilize a fairly simple, static pricing strategy driven by past practice and “gut feel” instead of utilizing the best available data and analytical tools. How much money is being left on the table by not adopting more innovative pricing strategies? Can new pricing strategies help to address other key strategic and operational goals?

It’s the day of the big championship game at your ice hockey arena, or perhaps it’s hours before your theatre opens the house for your sold-out matinee. One of your biggest sponsors wants to return some tickets. Maybe it’s an executive who purchased your best luxury suite, or it’s the donor who made a $5,000 contribution to your Education fund. She swings by the box office to make what she expects will be an easy return. Your new ticketing associate, not knowing the identity of this patron, replies with a cheery but firm, “Sorry, no refunds or exchanges." The donor begrudgingly walks away, questioning their continued participation with your organization. But what if we told you there was a way to avoid all of this?
