How to switch from Stager to Futura Tickets

Changing ticketing provider does not mean stopping sales. These are the steps we follow with organizers coming from Stager:

1. Finish on Stager whatever is already on sale. Switching mid-sale confuses buyers; the clean way is to launch Futura Tickets with your next event or date.
2. Take your data with you. Download from Stager whatever its dashboard lets you export about your buyers and events; if you are unsure what you can take, ask them in writing before switching.
3. Sign up to Futura Tickets and set up the event: ticket types, capacity, a numbered seat map if you need one, season passes and prices.
4. Connect sales to your website under your brand and run a full test purchase before announcing it.
5. From that event on, your buyers' data is 100% yours and you get paid before the event. In the demo we go through your case with you and give you the price.
