How West Village Chorale reduced fees, time and headaches with a streamlined platform

“From the very first couple of events we’ve run using Humanitix, it’s become clear that our relationship with Humanitix will be a valuable partnership. We look forward to using more of the system’s features and further improving our front of house operations as well as our behind-the-scenes analytics.”

- Katie FitzGerald, President of West Village Chorale

Host with the Most: West Village Chorale

Founded in 1971, the West Village Chorale is a volunteer, non-sectarian, not-for-profit community choir that performs a range of traditional and contemporary choral music. The Chorale had its beginnings in service to the community and has continued that tradition for the past 50 years through their annual Caroling Walks, Messiah Sings, and Summer Sings. Their members are talented avocational singers with varied professional backgrounds (attorneys to Zumba instructors) but with the shared goal of making beautiful music.

Quick stats:

• $10,000 in ticket sales on Humanitix
• 200+ attendees
• 2-5 concerts and performances per year

The Chorale needed a cost-effective platform to ticket its concerts and performances, given that it is a non-profit and volunteer-run organization. At the same time, Katie was looking for an easy-to-use, all-in-one solution that would streamline the Chorale’s event management processes.

The low booking fees offered by Humanitix were especially appealing, as the Chorale operates as a non-profit organization. Savings on fees lowered the barrier for attendees to come to the Chorale’s concerts and performances, increasing their ticket sales and ensuring that their funds were going towards organizing events.

Not only was Humanitix cost-effective, Humanitix also streamlined their event management processes so that all their data was in one place, and saved time through features like bulk upload, Facebook integration and box office. It also allowed the Chorale’s event managers to save time in setting up and managing events, and avoid the mental maths and hurdles they had to previously go through to try to collect accurate data across different platforms. Features like the ability to bulk upload tickets was a huge win and time-saver because it meant that all purchasers and attendees could be tracked through a single system.

What did Katie and the West Village Chorale love the most about Humanitix?

Not-For-Profit Pricing

For registered charities, non-profits and schools, Humanitix provides a special NFP rate to provide our platform at a sustainable cost price to support the work of local not-for-profit organizations and allow them to focus more of their funds and efforts towards their events and their cause.

Time-Saving Features

Humanitix has countless tools to save event hosts time, headaches and manual admin. Features like the ability to bulk upload tickets means that a spreadsheet of 1000s of contacts can be issued tickets at the click of a button. Integrations like Facebook means all the info already inputted into Humanitix can be easily duplicated as a Facebook event in a second. How good!

Human Support

“The dedicated and available customer service team is a big improvement over our previous vendors and other systems we considered. They’ve really helped us to use Humanitix to its fullest!”
