Ticketing
Your own system.
Theatre ticketing with seat maps & season passes
Theatres: pick your seat, scan at the door. Ticketing without the platform fees.
Ticketing platforms taking fees, season passes managed by hand and the box office swamped. We build ticketing systems for theatres.
Looking for theatre ticketing software?
Theatres sell seats, seasons and memberships. We build ticketing with seat maps, passes and scanning.
Wollopit builds booking systems, ticketing, enquiry flows and websites for theatres around how your gigs and events actually run. We connect the tools you already use, cut out fees you don't need to pay and look after the lot on our own servers, so you can get back to putting on a show.

04Services
Everything under one roof
Software, websites and systems for theatres.
Whether you're starting fresh or upgrading what you've got, it's one team from the first sketch to the support call.
Custom software for theatres
Built around how your theatre actually runs: ticketing, seat maps and the admin in between, in one system you own.
Websites for theatres
Fast, hand-built websites that rank for the searches your customers make and turn visits into enquiries, bookings or orders.
Theatre system upgrades
Running on spreadsheets, old software or a platform you've outgrown? We move your data across and upgrade in stages so the business never stops.
Apps and portals for theatres
Season passes and member pricing: customer and staff portals that work on any phone without an app store.

06How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your theatre: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We spend time with the people doing the work, see where the hours go and work out what's actually slowing you down.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your data, customers, payments, the tools you keep, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually the most painful bit first, so you get a win quickly.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
07Questions
FAQ
Things theatres ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can patrons choose specific seats?
Yes. Seat maps show availability and pricing zones.
How much does it cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand your theatre. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
Can clients book and pay a deposit online?
Yes. Availability, packages, deposits, contracts and balance reminders can all run online without the back and forth.
Can it stop double bookings?
Yes. One live calendar covers every booking, every staff member and every piece of gear, so the same date can't be sold twice.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most theatres we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
