The Box Office App: Turn Your Door into a Box Office

It is the day of your event...someone walks up to the door and asks if they can still get a ticket. The Box Office Mobile app (and portal Box Office), arriving now, makes the answer yes: sell walk-up tickets right at the door and take card payments in the Nrby Events ecosystem, with nothing improvised like a random Venmo account.

Walk-ups become instant sales using the ticket parameters you set

Box Office lives right next to ticket scanning in the portal, so whoever is working the door can flip from checking people in to selling in a tap. Pick the ticket types, set the quantity, and the sale is under way...no random payment processing service and no side spreadsheet of door sales to reconcile later.

Door View with the Box Office one tap away: the same screen your team already uses to scan tickets.

Tap, pay, and they're in

Card payments run on a Stripe WisePOS smart reader the same kind of terminal buyers already trust at shops and cafes. The cart shows up on the reader's screen so the buyer sees exactly what they are paying for, they tap a card or a phone (or insert a chip card), and the sale is done.

The tickets check themselves in automatically. The buyer is standing in front of you, so there is no QR code to juggle holding up the line... they are counted and managed the same as any pre-sale ticket.

The confirmation buyers know from online sales: a QR ticket with Apple Wallet and Google Wallet a tap away.

No math at the door

Every Box Office sale is priced with all fees and needed sales tax are computed the same way, automatically. Nobody at the door is doing any extra math, rounding to something convenient, or guessing at tax. Your end of night numbers reconcile cleanly because door sales and online sales followed the same rules.

Built for the nights that need it

An EDM show that lives on walk-up traffic. A community festival gate where half the crowd decides that morning. A fashion show that always sells its last stretch at the door. If your events sell tickets up to very last minute, Box Office turns the door from a liability into a clean sales channel and it can scale up to festival gates with multiple entrances.
