When State College of Florida began expanding performances across multiple venues on campus, Performing Arts Center Manager Brent needed a ticketing and marketing solution that could keep pace without overwhelming staff or budgets. He chose On The Stage to unify ticket sales, event management, and patron experience in one platform.

Immediately, the user-friendly, professional interface made it easier for patrons to find events, select seats, and purchase tickets and merchandise online. With fewer barriers to purchase, Brent saw stronger net revenue from programming as more guests successfully completed transactions and added merchandise at checkout.

“OTS offers an intuitive platform distinguished by high-quality customer support. Its dashboard and integrated tools enable efficient access to detailed data and facilitate rapid ticket order processing, enhancing overall operational productivity. The streamlined interface ensures ease of use, supporting both routine and complex tasks while maintaining accuracy and timeliness in data management and service delivery, contributing to improved user satisfaction.”

On The Stage’s pricing model eliminated platform fees to the organization, directly protecting event income. Combined with smarter workflows-like streamlined box office operations and simplified front-of-house tasks-the college now saves an estimated $5,000-$15,000 annually.

Most importantly, On The Stage supports the long-term sustainability of the Performing Arts at State College of Florida by providing reliable tools to manage growth.
