Ticketing system for museums and libraries

Our top features for you

Tailor-made planning

In order to help you optimize the flow of visitors and maximize predictability, pretix offers time slot booking. You can then display, for instance, work desks in your library in a seating plan so every visitor can choose an open time slot at their favourite spot.

Staying in touch

Newsletter integrations, personalized reminders, confirmation of participation for classes, and various other features help you cultivate your relationship with your visitors. Our API allows for smooth integration of existing CRM systems.

Your shop, your design

By configuring your colors and selecting your own header image, you can easily implement your branding in your pretix shop. Your ticket shop can easily be incorporated into your existing website using our handy widget. You decide which languages to offer your shop in. Both informational texts and the content of automatic emails are customizable at any point, just like your ticket design.

Online and on site

Our point-of-sale system pretixPOS offers any option you may need for bookings on site or sales from an attached shop. Access control can be managed entirely by app or by connecting to a turnstile system. The entirety of the data converges in your pretix backend so you maintain full control.

Support every step of the way

Our support team is happy to assist you. We will show you the system and explain all the important settings. Beyond assistance with initial setup and continued administration of your pretix shop, you can also obtain any hardware necessary for admittance control and cash desks from us. pretix offers a customizable booking system for any use case and is fully GDPR-compliant.

Direct payment

Ticket payments do not go through pretix. Your attendees pay you directly via the numerous payment providers you can integrate in your pretix shop. This ensures that you receive your money more quickly and keep track of all payments. You are only giving out free tickets? Please contact us for a personalized offer tailored to your situation.

Our demo shop

Our demo shop shows one of many ways of implementing ticketing for museums and libraries with pretix, allowing you to form an opinion from your visitors' perspective.

Of course we are happy to give you a more detailed demonstration—just give us a call!

Museum Library

Satisfied customers

The system is transparent (if the study hall is fully booked, no further seats can be booked) and flexible (the cancellation option means that seats can be reassigned after they are free again). Even under load, the system performs reliably and offers great customization options.

Deutsche Nationalbibliothek (German National Library)

Thanks to pretix, we have software tailored to us at our cash register as well as an easy-to-use shop interface which we were able to integrate into our website. No matter the topic—issuing customer receipts, printing tickets on site, or sales via our webiste—pretix is always a skilled partner for our ticket sales. pretix assisted us in choosing devices for our needs, maintains our custom software, and all with fair and transparent pricing. Due to our experience, we recommend pretix as the ticketing solution for museums with permanent exhibitions.

Deutsches Straßenmuseum e.V.

Initially we only wanted simple seat booking for the main library—in the end, we connected 40 branches in all of Vienna and implemented a ticketing system for our book launches and the academic graduation events. The backend is very user-friendly and all support requests are answered in a quick and competent manner!
