Showtime Page
The first page customers will visit on the RTN platform is the showtimes page. Patrons may select the showtime date, their performance, and the showtime for their designated date.
Like all RTN pages, theatres may add text, a logo, and change color/fonts.
Pick Ticket Page
After selecting their performance, customers will then be directed to the pick tickets page. Based on your settings, patrons will determine their amount of tickets using a drop-down format.
Note: not all tickets available at the boxoffice have to be sold online – certain ticket types can be disabled for online sales.
If you are a reserved seating location, customers will first reserve their seat. This will be the same layout that is available at the boxoffice.
Purchase Confirmation
Before completing the transaction, patrons will confirm their order. If the theatre is utilizing secure credit card processing (taking chip cards), the site will function as a shopping cart.
On the purchase confirmation page, theatre customers can enter their loyalty card or pay with a gift card. A disclaimer can also be added.
Once confirmed, the patron can check out, clear cart or continue shopping.
Editing RTN Page
The steps for editing the RTN can be found here: Customizing your RTN Website. Our support team can also assist with customizing your RTN page.
Internet Ticket Fees
Theatres may charge an optional internet ticketing fee, either by ticket or per transaction.
Note: This fee is 100% retained by the theatre.
