If you want to tour with your theatre or hold your festival in various places around the city, then ticket-selling could be a headache. Estonian ticket broker Piletilevi has a solution that puts an end to endless queues and makes it easy to manage various events or a tour.
Estonia has its own big film festival every year called PÖFF, or the Black Nights Film Festival. It is a much-anticipated event in Tallinn that takes place at the end of November. Not long ago they had to find new venues to show movies in and it is very difficult, time-consuming and expensive to sell tickets separately to many different halls all over the city.
Helmes came to help Piletilevi with the design of their ticket selling system.
Piletilevi’s ticket selling solution enables to add a new venue very quickly. It is easy to cover both big concert halls and small cultural houses in rural places. You just need to book the venue and everything else can be handled by the ticket selling system – from the simple act of buying a ticket to the whole ecosystem of customer relationship management (CRM). It handles everything in the ticketing environment, from loyalty programs to accreditations.

So now PÖFF had a partner who could help spread the film festival all over town – with more than 10 different locations and even more halls.
Tickets to PÖFF come on sale a week before the event begins, with more than 800 movie sessions bookable for fans of the cinema. The system that Helmes has designed for Piletilevi has to be fast and easy to manage.
The system is integrated with Eventival, a widely used event management system, where every movie has a code. Eventival and Piletilevi’s systems communicate with each other with an API interface and share information. The systems integration means less work by hand and fewer mistakes. It also means faster progress.
With this ticketing system, you connect all of your sales channels online – the festival’s web page, the ticket seller’s own online channel, and the physical sales points. All the benefits of discounts and accreditations can also be used in all those channels.
If you have an event coming and you don’t want to worry about how the tickets are sold, this ticket selling system comes to help you.
Here are the few steps that must be done before you can start selling thousands, or even millions, of tickets:
And you are done – the sales of tickets can begin. For example, it takes about a week, to set everything up for PÖFF, and they have approximately 800 movie sessions.

If your theatre or festival already has a ticket-controlling system and it can be integrated with other systems, then it can be integrated with Piletilevi’s ticket selling system as well. But if you do not have a solution yet, then Piletilevi offers you both its software and hardware. In both cases, the tickets can be digitally verified.
The ticket selling system we have built can sell tickets to whatever event you can think of – cinemas, theatres, museums, water parks, etc.
You just need a simple web page, and all other aspects can be taken care of by system administrators.
The message is simple – wherever and whenever you hold an event, you can use the ticket selling system that has worked wonders in so many places already.
