Kaboodle: end-to-end technology for festivals and live events

Kaboodle presents itself as a technology platform for the entertainment and live events industry. Its offering combines ticketing, access control, cashless payments, staff management and accreditation tools with CRM and marketing features. The company says it brings together technology, brands and talent from the sector to help organisers connect with their audience.

Products and solutions for organisers

Kaboodle's catalogue is organised into several modules covering different stages of an event, from ticket sales through to entry at the gate:

• Advanced ticketing: a ticketing solution for events that go beyond entry, with integrated upsells, flexible payment plans and a customisable booking process.
• Self-service ticketing: a self-service system for organisers of any experience level, with quick setup, customisable tickets, badges and branded emails, and real-time tracking of registrations and sales.
• Access control: access control with reliable scanning even during internet outages, plus flexible management of entry permissions.
• Cashless payments: cashless payments for the venue.
• Staff & accreditation: staff and accreditation management.
• Marketing & CRM: marketing and customer relationship management tools.

Within Advanced ticketing, the company highlights features such as a design aimed at increasing spend per attendee at the point of sale or after purchase, integrated payment plans and a native resale platform that seeks to maximise revenue and attendance and reduce speculative touting.

Product updates

Kaboodle has introduced Booking Questionnaires, a feature designed to give organisers granular control over attendee data collection.
