We have been using TryBooking for a number of years. I use it for tickets for Fundraising Events, raffle tickets and our Flagship Fundraiser, the Carers Ball. What I like about using TryBooking is it is easy for our guests to book tickets and choose the menu, including any dietary requirements. All this information can be downloaded as a report that I send to the venue organisers. It is so easy to use, which believe me is a godsend to the technologically challenged. Joan and her team are exceptional; friendly, helpful and responsive, and so very knowledgeable. As a charity we need to keep the costs down, and TryBooking lets us do that. We are really impressed and would highly recommend.
I would like to write this testimonial as the system TryBooking offers is in my opinion the very best available. Why do I say this? As a charity I love the option to allow delegates the option to Donate and Gift Aid and so far we have received in excess of £2,000 for doing absolutely nothing apart from clicking the option when setting up events. The ease to set up, track and send emails to delegates is so so easy. But I would say the most import thing from my point of view is the support team are fantastic and always there to help, educate or just do it for you. I highly recommend anyone wanting to set up a booking system, talk to the team at TryBooking - you will not be disappointed.
