Our online ticketing solution for Centenary Stage Company (CSC), out of Hackettstown, NJ, is a big hit with the patrons ordering tickets online. With CSC's permission, the patron's ordering comments go to both CSC and SR Web Resources. This way we can stay on top of any unforeseen problems a patron may experience and you can see the success of the program from the comments below.  For three years and since the application's inception, we've had only one very minor complaint about how the ordering system works. It has all been glowing, very pleased comments as to how user friendly the system is.

Also see comments from our own direct customers. as well as our Client Portfolio.

Comments from the systems first year of use - 2002-03 Season:

"The ordering system is easy to use. How do I know what seats were reserved and did we have a choice of seating?"

Note: This is a smaller theatre. Every seat has a great view. For this reason, it was decided not to put a more complex seating choice function online.

"Easy and convenient...thanks"

"I thought the ordering process was very good. It was quick and easy. I planned on ordering by phone but was unable to reach someone live. Although all my calls were returned, ordering on line was much easier. "

Note: By the nature of the box office, there are times when the office is not manned - that's where the online ticketing system shines! With its ability to offer around the clock access to ordering all of the remaining shows and the ability for the system to do edits to be sure the order is right, using the system is like adding multiple quality people to your staff.

"IT WAS GREAT!!"

"so far so good!"

"Your system is very user friendly!! :)"

"very user friendly"

"It was incredibly easy and I hope that more shows will be offered so I can order tickets using this system! Thanks!"

"I found this process to be very proficient. I would have liked the opportunity to view the theater seating and if possible pick out the seats that I wanted. I have never been here before. I would also like this form which I am printing to include the date and the number of tickets - Thanks"

Note: As a result, we increased the size of the lettering inviting the patron to print the page prior to the comment request/final confirmation page - that prior page does include the date and number of tickets (Sample).

"easy to use"

"This was very easy and this is our first time visiting your web site... (remainder is about an office related comment)"

"User friendly"

"Easy to use and adequate opportunities to make changes and to confirm order."

"Clear, simple and efficient. Now if the tickets are at the box office without a hitch and the billing is correct your ordering system gets an A+. Thanks."

"My compliments to who ever designed this web site. Ordering could not have been easier"
