Filmgrail vs Agile Ticketing Solutions

Agile Ticketing Solutions, based in Hermitage, Tennessee, sells AgileTix as "Intelligent Venue Solutions": cloud ticketing for reserved seating and general admission, box office, online, kiosk and partner sales, a native CRM, memberships and loyalty, concessions ordering, reporting, gate scanning, streaming for hybrid and virtual events, custom websites and hosting, a WordPress plugin, and a branded mobile app for tickets, passes and push notifications. It serves cinemas, art houses, historic theatres, fairs and festivals, museums and attractions, conferences, academia and equestrian events.

That is a broad venue suite, and film is one of many markets it serves. Filmgrail serves one: cinemas and film festivals. That focus is the argument for putting Filmgrail in front of your ticketing.

Built for film, not for every venue. Film pages with trailers and context, a weekly programme your team updates without a developer, and a checkout designed for choosing a session on a phone.

One data model for site and app. The website, apps, loyalty and push share one CMS and one customer record, so the moviegoer who saved a film on the website gets the push on their phone. Across cinemas on Filmgrail, nine in ten end users create a profile, and the average yearly increase in digital ticket sales is 89%.

No ticketing migration. Filmgrail reads programme and seating from AgileTix and writes sales back. The Agile Ticketing integration page explains how.

Filmgrail runs Classic Cinemas, a Chicago-area circuit, alongside operators such as Bergen Kino, Ster-Kinekor and Wallis Cinemas, and festivals such as BIFF. A mid-size film festival pays about $5,000 a year.

Pricing is published and scales by screens: from $200 a year for a single screen to $20,000 a year for a large circuit, flat per screen with no per-ticket fees (see pricing). The AgileTix integration is available on demand: we build it during onboarding, and you go live in about a month.

See it before you talk to anyone: the cinema website prototype tool builds a version of your own site from its current URL. Then book a demo against your real programme.
