CASE STUDY
Olympia School District uses robust ticketing to increase sales and run a streamlined event gate

Creating a discoverable event online
Olympia school district (OSD) is home to 11,300 students, teachers and staff, hosting a variety of different events throughout the calendar year.
On top of the 11,300, they also have supportive families and friends in attendance at events.
However, OSD continued to see low ticket sales.
But, why?
Before partnering with Purplepass, information on events was only sharable via word-of-mouth.
Challenge
- Issuing reserved seating for events
- Accepting credit card payments
- Posting events and shareable ticket links
Solution
Using a complete event management software; payment processing support, assigned seating options and the ability to share and post events, via Purplepass
After working with Purplepass, OSD is now able to post all their athletic and theater events on one central site for purchasing tickets in advance.
The school has 100% face value on all their event pages and branded material such as ticket stock for their events.
Community members, relatives and schools across the state of Washington are now able to search and find OSD events online and share ticket links!
Results
Tickets are now 100% available online resulting in:
- Increase in revenue and sales
- Shorter gate sale lines (pre-paid tickets)
- Flexibility payment types (more sales)
- Ability to offer season and flex passes
