”Working with PBO has simplified our marketing and ticketing operation and helped us to almost triple our online ticket sales to over 34% of revenue. New innovations such as allowing us to check ticket validity via mobile phones, and the capture of opt-in marketing details will allow us to continue to grow our audience over the next season.”

“It is a major relief to have a professional organisation take care of all our ticketing needs, allowing us the time to find speakers and organise our events. We’ve had a great first-hand experience with PBO, and we hope this is the start of along standing relationship. In fact, in comparison to the other ticketing options that organisations like PSNS might be tempted to use - PBO is a dream come true. Thank you. You make us feel part of the Perthshire cultural ecosystem. You are real people - which beats an algorithm any day. You have helped us connect with demographics in Perthshire that we had previously failed to reach.”

President of Perthshire Society of Natural Science
“The introduction of PBO has enabled us to modernise our ticket sales and we now see over 32% of our sales coming through their platform. We are introducing online Season Subscriptions and have been very impressed with the way PBO worked to understand our requirements and come up with a tailored solution to meet our needs. We expect sales via the PBO platform to continue to grow throughout the 2024/25 season.”

“Culture Perth and Kinross are proud to have partnered with PBO since the very beginning. The platform is flexible enough to accommodate our wide-ranging needs as an organisation, from smaller events to large festivals, exhibitions and more across multiple venues. Kira, Matthew, and the whole team are a joy to work with; always looking to find ways to adapt to our requirements and adding that all-important personal and local touch that larger ticketing providers don’t have.”

“The Perthshire Box Office service improved our earnings substantially and we will look forward to working with them in future years. The team is very positive and constructive in finding and designing marketing opportunities for our exhibition and has expanded our customer base substantially, especially by selling advance tickets. This has helped us smooth out our visitor flows and reduced queuing, which in turn pleases our customers. Working together with the PBO team has benefitted out financial results and helped boost our overall attendance levels. "

"Perthshire Box Office were integral to the delivery and success of Future _Scapes, an exhibition commissioned by the UK National Commission for UNESCO to explore the future uses of cultural and community spaces. The additional support and facilitation with website hosting, social media posts, and an email campaign, as well as facilitating a school visit to the exhibition were all imperative to its success. The team worked quickly and went above and beyond to ensure that the interactive exhibition was shared and profiled widely which allowed for deeper engagement with the interactive elements and resulting in a larger dataset for the research on cultural spaces."
Poppy Jarratt
UNESCO City of Craft and Folk Art
“Our ongoing partnership with PBO continues to give our volunteer run book festival a real boost by being involved with such a professional organisation. They have been unfailingly helpful in dealing with our requests and answering our questions. We have been particularly impressed with PBO’s additional services, especially when the team implement new pathways for customers to purchase tickets and offer us invaluable insight and data on these customers.”
Gail Wylie
Chair of BOOKMARK Book Festival
"PSNS has enjoyed a successful partnership with PBO for the past two years, managing the ticketing for our Curious Minds lecture series. We are looking forward to our third year of collaboration and are extremely satisfied with the service and support PBO provides.
Our previous experience with Eventbrite created a significant administrative burden - more than we could comfortably manage. Since partnering with PBO, we've been able to focus our efforts on finding excellent speakers and running successful events. We find PBO's service to be both professional and affordable. Importantly, working with PBO fosters a sense of community among similar organizations in Perth and Perthshire, all addressing a shared audience."
