What is Fusion Ticket?
Fusion Ticket is a Open Source Box Office and Ticketing Solution.
The aim is to create a usable and complete box office solution aimed at charities and small venues that don't have the extreme budget or need for a full box office solution, whilst maintaining full functionality and large customisabilty and feature set.
Who is it for?
Any one really. But the main aim is for small charities and theater groups. For the most part its unrealistic for these small organisations to take the hit of using a professional ticket sales companies, who take a set up fee and commission of each ticket sold.
The software is used regulary by all types of people just look at our sites using fusion ticket links page.
Who is it not for?
Although there is no restrictions on who can use it, we don't recommend it for really big events (stadium size) at this time. Allthough in the future we are confident we will be expanding the software to make it easyer to manage.
Why we need money?
"Anything given away for free, has no value"
Although we try to maintain this software for as little as possible, we have working lives and other items that need doing.
By donating we can spend time on this project and not on others.
We can spend time supporting members and producing plugins and addional features instead of the bare minimum.
Can we contribute more than just money?
Of course you can. If you have good PHP, HTML, CSS, Javascript or MySQL knowledge you'll be very welcome to help. Or if you can't program helping other users use the software, as everyones skills differ.
Any time spend explaining something is time spent away from bug fixing or feature improvements.
How can I help?
Make a donation below of any sum of money, this gets us towards our next release and our goal.
Any member which donates over $50 per release (a feature version release), will receive Contributor status and access to pre public release material and gain additional support for the life of that version number.
Anyone that just donates will receive a Donator status so others know you have helped this project.
Spend time helping find bugs and making suggestions to improve useability and functionality.
Why should I donate?
Because there are 1000's of hours of work and knowledge thrown in so you can use it at our exspense. Think about it like this. For a firm to do the same for you, the system would start in the region of £1500 ($2250) plus additional maintenance cost. Of course you get warrenty and support, but then we aim to answer your requests for support and for free. So really with out donations support and quick releases would be near impossible.
So a 50$ to a program that you can make money off of for free is very little to ask.
