Features
Designed on a modular basis, all of Project Boo's features are available to you.
Choose which ones you want - change your mind later if you need to - and you're away.
Tickets
Easily manage ticket inventories, categories, ticket types and sale dates - tickets go on sale automatically, with a countdown timer shown if they're not available yet.
Extras
Need to sell more than just tickets? Sell accommodation, merchandise, event tickets and more just as easily, with full inventory management, order control and payment tracking.
Bring and Buy
Project Boo makes running a bring and buy a cinch for sellers, buyers and staff alike with great features like multiple tills, payment via cash, card, or money you've made from sales.
Payments
Whether it's for tickets, extras, events or the Bring and Buy, get paid how you want - cash, cheque, bank transfer, or Paypal or Stripe - directly into your convention's account.
Reception
With a built-in reception desk, you (or one of your helpers) can check people into your event with the scan of a barcode, and print out their name badges on demand at the click of a button.
Find a game
For gamers, make sure no-one's left out with our full-featured solution - gamers say what they're playing and when, and others can join in with the click of a button.
Library
If you provide a centralised library for attendees to borrow from, be that boardgames or anything else, then it can be set up and administered through the platform with ease.
Sponsors
Big enough to have sponsors? Make sure they get their money's worth with prominent placement on your site and all outgoing emails, as well as full details of their offerings.
Team
Need to let your convention-goers know who's who? The Team section allows you to put names to faces - and behind the scenes you can run a roster so everyone knows who's doing what, and when.
Users
Delegation is the key to running smoothly - allow others to manage certain aspects of your convention to relieve the burden, all with complete oversight, full security and comprehensive auditing.
Hotels
If you're not providing accommodation - or even if you are - you can point attendees in the direction of nearby hotels complete with all contact details, and directions, with complete ease.
Restaurants
If you're not laying on food, or if you are but want to give people choice, the restaurant section allows you to signpost attendees to local restaurants, complete with price ranges, contact details and more.
Site plan
If your event takes place in a lot of rooms, or is spread out over a wide area, upload one or more site plans so that attendees can navigate themselves around it with the minimum of fuss.
Events
If you run quizzes, talks, competitions, or anything else that has a specific time and that people can book onto, set up free or paid-for at-convention events with limited, or unlimited, availability, only bookable by those who've booked tickets to your event.
3rd party integration
Project Boo integrates with mailing-list platforms like Mailchimp, MailerLite and EmailOctopus (for marketing to customers who opt in) and Discord, and more integrations can be added if you come up with good ideas!
Customisation
With a range of built-in colour schemes ready to go, and the ability to customise the look and feel of your convention, you can make your site your own.

Questions
The things organisers usually ask us first.
Who receives the money from ticket sales?
Your convention does. Payments go straight into your own Stripe and PayPal accounts - Project Boo never holds or handles your money.
Are card fees included in your commission?
No. Stripe and PayPal charge their standard fees directly to your own account, exactly as they would if you used them anywhere else. Our commission is separate.
What is commission charged on?
Every sale made through Project Boo - tickets, events, extras and Bring and Buy. It is worked out on the amount your attendee pays, before any Stripe or PayPal fees are taken, and is payable 7 days after the end of your convention.
Is there a minimum contract?
No. There is no minimum term and no notice period.
How long does setup take?
Usually a day or so - and we do it with you. We help you get your convention set up - tickets, payment methods, your look and feel, Bring and Buy and the rest - so you are not doing it on your own.
Can I get my data out?
Yes. Orders, transactions and till records can all be exported as CSV files at any time, ready for a spreadsheet or your accounts.
Can we use our own domain name?
Yes. Your convention can run on its own domain, or on a projectboo.co.uk subdomain.
What about GDPR?
Project Boo is run by Status 218 Limited, a UK company (number 15170723). We only collect what is needed to run your convention, we store it securely, and attendees can ask to see or delete their information at any time.
Anything else? Ask us.
