“We are no longer turning away mobile ticket buyers. We are converting people that traditionally would have left. Bounce rates from within seat selection have decreased by almost half.” – Ryan Buckley, Director of Digital Experience, Cleveland Orchestra
SmartSeat SYOS Yields Increased Mobile Conversions and Decreased Bounce Rate
The Cleveland Orchestra was founded in 1918 by the pianist and impresario Adella Prentiss Hughes. The orchestra plays most of its concerts at Severance Hall; a 2,000-seat concert hall listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The Cleveland Orchestra was experiencing mobile seat selection challenges. They desired a product that could help them avoid turning away mobile ticket buyers and decrease bounce rates within seat selection.
The Cleveland Orchestra chose SmartSeat by Adage to tackle their ticketing challenges.
