Unique Website Design
Though other companies may claim to offer a custom website with their software, they don't seem to be up to par. Many sites look identical with the only difference being color and images. ATBS offers COMPLETELY custom websites. Take a look at some of our customer using our software. Companies names have been removed for protection of our customers. eSeats.com, Exclusive Tickets.com, Ticket Finder.com, Ticket Pro.com, Theater Tickets.com, Ticket Center.com, and Plays.com.

Number of Event Listings
One major downfall of our competitors is that they actually limit how many events you have on your website to 500 events. ATBS does not believe in restricting your business. We want you to grow! Our software has no limitations on the number of events, venues or cities you have. In fact, the software automatically updates to include every single ticketed event NATIONWIDE!

Google Checkout
An all new, very exciting feature is now available with our TicketSolutions v2.0 software! Google Checkout is a fast, convenient checkout process that brings you more customers and allows them to buy from you with a single login -- and you can process their orders and charge their credit or debit cards for free. Google Checkout is fully integrated into our software, allowing brokers allowing real time credit card transactions! No more incorrect credit card numbers, mismatched billing addresses or having to manually run their credit card!

City Targeted Listings
Every broker has been to ticketmaster.com. And every broker has noticed how their homepage changes to fit your city. Well ATBS offers this exact same option! Customers can come to your site and see all the concert, sports and theater events in their city. This is an optional upgrade.
Top

Advanced Search
Our competitors boast an "advanced search" but how advanced is it really? While our competitors would like you to think that the ability to search by part of a word, or by city or by date is advanced, the truth is that it is not. Our software has always offered this ability. What sets our search apart is the ability to misspell words! That's right. Not everyone knows how to spell the event their search for and even the best spellers make type-o's. Our search compensates for this. Search for Dalas and you'll find Dallas, TX. Search for Madona and you'll find Madonna. Our search TRULY is advanced!

Search Engine Friendly
Competitors claim their sites are Search Engine Optimized...they aren't. A dynamic url is hard, if not impossible for the search engines to read. They look something like this www.yourdomain.com/ResultsGeneral.aspx?kwds=Justin+Timberlake. This is not search engine friendly, nor will it help you increase your rank in the search engines. Compare their link to our own www.yourdomain.com/Concerts/Justin-Timberlake-Information. Clearly, our site is much more search engine ready and friendly! PLUS our software allows you the ability to change your url structure. If you would rather have www.yourdomain.com/concert_tickets/justin_timberlake_tickets.html or www.yourdomain.com/concerts/justintimeberlaketickets.html, it's completely capable and you can set it from the administration panel!

Ownership of Software
The problem with these competitors is that you'll never, ever OWN your software. You rent it. You can spend years developing and optimizing your website and in an instant it can all be gone. Say the company RENTING you the software goes out of business? Will they give you your software? You're going to pay about $1200 a year and for what? ATBS does not want to own your business. You pay a one time fee and the software is yours. You can move it to your own server. You can stop using it for a year and come back to it and it will still be where you left it. The bottom line is that no one wants to rent their business!

Hosting Offered
Another benefit ATBS offers is our dedicated hosting. We offer amazing hosting at an even better price. Our servers are very fast and only host ticket brokers. We also offer unlimited email address, 24/7 redundancy (keeping your site from being "down") and GUARANTEED SPEED! If your site is on our server and starts to slow down due to server issues, we'll do whatever it takes to speed it back up. No competitor, not even another hosting company can guarantee that!

Gift Card Capability
ATBS knows the value in giftcards. They are great for someone who has it all. That's why, unlike our competitors, we offer the ability to sell giftcards through your website! You set the price and control how many times it can be used.
Top

Google Sitemap
Another new and powerful feature is Google Sitemap integration. Our software allows you to maintain and upload a new sitemap to Google. This shows you Google's view of your website, and diagnoses potential problems. Google crawls and indexes your site and learn about specific problems Google may have accessing it.
Top

Default Site-Wide Text
Almost everyone knows that the key to search engine optimization is text. Search engines want to see text on your pages. But with tens of thousands of pages, how can you possibly put text on every single one? ATBS has the solution. Our default text allows you to type in general text that will dynamically change for each page and once you click submit, it is automatically distributed on every single page! It's that simple. Then, when you or your SEO company wants to put custom text on a specific event, the default text is overwritten on that specific event and it's all controlled from the administration panel. Adding text has never been easier!
Top

Constant Contact Integration
Constant Contact is one of the best newsletter software on the market today and now ATBS has the ability to integrate into it. When a customer comes to your site and signs up for a newsletter, their information is automatically imported into Constant Contact via your administration panel. Our competitors don't offer this option!
Top

Ability to Sell More than just Tickets
Some brokers want to sell souvenirs such as t-shirts or hats. Others want to sell special packages for the Super Bowl. Our software allows you to do so! No other competitor allows you to do this! You determine the price and the name of your item and your customers can purchase it through your shopping cart. It's fast, easy and like everything else, controlled through your administration panel.
Top

Custom Modifications
ATBS understands that every ticket broker is different. Everyone has their own way of wanting to run their business and their website. That's why we offer custom modifications to our software. Several of our clients have taken advantage of this option and have customized their software to fit their needs. Our competitors expect all their customers to be able to use the same, out-of-the-box solution but we're a little more realistic.
