Beyond Cinema

Ticketing & Venue Management Software for Ticketed Venues

Picovico was built for cinemas, and cinemas remain our primary focus. But the core of the platform — reserved seating, scheduled sessions, admission control, concessions, and real-time reporting — is not cinema-specific. Venues that sell tickets to scheduled events face substantially the same operational problems.

This page is for you if

  • You sell tickets to scheduled events or sessions
  • You manage seating, capacity, or timed entry
  • You run a bar, café, or merchandise counter
  • You take payments on site and want them online too
  • You currently reconcile ticketing and F&B separately

What gets in the way — and how Picovico handles it

Ticketing and food and beverage sit in separate systems

The same problem cinemas have. Running both on one platform means spend per admission is a figure you can read directly rather than reconstruct from two exports at month end.

Online ticket sales go through a third-party marketplace

Marketplaces take a cut and own the customer relationship. Picovico gives you your own branded booking experience and an installable Progressive Web App, with the customer data staying yours.

Seating for a performance is managed on a printed chart

Visual seat maps are configured to match your actual auditorium, including accessibility positions, restricted-view seats, and blocked rows. The same map is used at the box office and online.

Capacity and attendance are counted after the fact

Occupancy and revenue per seat report in real time per session, so a poorly selling performance is visible while you can still act on it.

Different ticket types, memberships, and concessions are hard to price

Pricing supports seat classes, session-based rates, group and corporate bookings, member pricing, and promotional codes — configured by your team without developer involvement.

Where this fits — and where it does not

Picovico applies most directly to venues that resemble a cinema operationally: performing arts theatres, concert halls, community and multipurpose halls, and event venues with seated or capacity-limited ticketing. Museums and attractions running timed-entry admission are also workable, though the model is capacity-based rather than seat-based. Larger and more specialised operations — stadiums with season ticketing and turnstile networks, or convention centres needing badge printing and exhibitor management — have requirements that extend beyond what the platform covers today. If you are in that category, tell us what you need and we will give you a straight answer about whether we are the right fit rather than a sales pitch.

Common Questions

Is Picovico built for cinemas or for venues generally?

Picovico was built for cinemas and cinemas remain our primary focus and customer base. The underlying platform — reserved seating, scheduled sessions, admission control, concession POS, and reporting — is not cinema-specific, so it applies to other ticketed venues with similar operational patterns.

Which venue types does Picovico suit best?

Performing arts theatres, concert halls, community and multipurpose halls, and event venues with seated or capacity-limited ticketing are the closest fit, because they share a cinema's operational shape. Museums and attractions using timed-entry admission also work, with capacity-based rather than seat-based control.

Can we sell tickets online under our own brand?

Yes. Picovico provides a branded online booking experience and an installable Progressive Web App, so you are not listing through a third-party marketplace. Ticket revenue and customer data stay with your venue.

Can Picovico handle our bar or refreshment sales?

Yes. The concession POS covers fast billing, combo offers, live inventory with low-stock alerts, and margin reporting per item. Because it runs on the same platform as ticketing, you can see spend per admission directly.

We run a stadium or convention centre. Is Picovico suitable?

Possibly not. Season ticketing, dynamic pricing at large scale, turnstile networks, badge printing, and exhibitor management fall outside what the platform covers today. Tell us your requirements and we will give you an honest assessment rather than overselling.
