Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our entertainment and events software development services.

How long does it take to develop a custom ticketing system?

Development timelines vary based on complexity. A basic ticketing system typically takes 3-4 months, whilst comprehensive venue management platforms with integrated ticketing, CRM, and reporting may take 6-12 months. We provide detailed project timelines during our discovery phase and use agile methodologies to deliver working features progressively throughout development.

Can you integrate with existing ticketing platforms like Ticketmaster or Eventbrite?

Yes, we specialise in API integrations with major ticketing platforms, payment processors, and venue management systems. We can create custom integrations to connect your existing tools or develop hybrid solutions that leverage third-party services alongside bespoke features tailored to your specific requirements.

How do you ensure the software can handle peak demand during on-sale events?

We design high-availability architectures with load balancing, caching, and scalable cloud infrastructure. All ticketing systems undergo rigorous load testing to simulate peak demand scenarios. We use queuing systems, real-time monitoring, and auto-scaling to ensure your software remains responsive during critical on-sale periods when thousands of users are purchasing simultaneously.

What security measures do you implement for payment processing?

We build PCI DSS compliant payment systems with end-to-end encryption, tokenisation, and secure payment gateways. Card data is never stored on our servers—we use trusted payment processors like Stripe or WorldPay. Additional security includes SSL certificates, fraud detection, 3D Secure authentication, and comprehensive audit logging for all financial transactions.

Can you develop mobile apps for event attendees?

Absolutely. We create native iOS and Android apps for event attendees featuring digital tickets with QR codes, venue maps, schedules, push notifications, and interactive features. We also develop Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) that work across all devices without requiring app store downloads. Mobile solutions integrate seamlessly with your ticketing and venue management systems.

Do you provide ongoing support after the software launches?

Yes, we offer comprehensive support packages including hosting, monitoring, security updates, bug fixes, and feature enhancements. Our team provides technical support during critical events to ensure everything runs smoothly. We also offer training for your staff and can provide on-site support for major events or system launches.

Can the software manage multiple venues or festival sites?

Yes, we build multi-venue and multi-site platforms that allow central management of multiple locations. Features include consolidated reporting, shared customer databases, cross-venue ticket transfers, and location-specific configurations. Perfect for theatre chains, festival operators managing multiple stages, or event companies coordinating across numerous sites.

What happens to our data if we decide to switch systems?

You always own your data. We provide comprehensive data export tools and documentation ensuring you can migrate to alternative systems if needed. All data is stored in standard formats with clear documentation of database structures. We can also assist with data migration projects if you're moving to or from our platforms.

How do you handle GDPR compliance for guest data?

All software is built with GDPR compliance from the ground up. We implement consent management, data access requests, right to erasure, data portability, and comprehensive audit trails. Guest data is encrypted, access is role-based, and we maintain detailed records of all data processing activities as required by UK data protection regulations.

Can you create white-label solutions for reselling?

Yes, we develop white-label entertainment and events platforms for technology companies and venue operators who want to resell or license software solutions. We create customisable systems with multi-tenant architectures, branded interfaces, and flexible pricing models suitable for SaaS business models in the entertainment industry.
