Built for the Way Cultural Programming Actually Works
Arts organizations rarely sell only one type of admission. A theater may need reserved seating and multiple performance dates, a museum may need timed entry, a dance company may sell performance tickets alongside classes. CultureOwl supports these formats within one ticketing platform.
General Admission and Reserved Seating
Open-entry admission or assigned seat maps with sections, rows, ADA seating, and premium price levels.
Timed Entry
Entry windows and capacity limits for museums, exhibitions, attractions, and tours.
Classes and Workshops
Registration for single-session classes, recurring workshops, and learning experiences.
Passes and Packages
Season passes, flex passes, festival passes, and multi-event bundles.
Promo Codes and Donations
Discount codes for members, students, and groups, plus standalone or add-on donations.
