Ticketsolve Pay has worked really well for us so far and has been a really positive addition to the way we operate at St Helens Theatre Royal. It has streamlined the way we take payments, made the process much easier for our box office team, and helped create a smooth and straightforward booking experience for our customers. Anything that makes the customer journey simpler and more efficient is a huge benefit to us, and Ticketsolve Pay has certainly helped with that. It feels professional, easy to use, and has given us greater confidence in the payment process from start to finish.

We don't even really notice that [Ticketsolve Protect] is in place, which I think is quite a good thing. It doesn't cause us any issues at all, it's just running in the background doing its thing.
