Working with Tessitura

We’ve been building Tessitura-integrated websites since 2010. Our clients include some of the busiest ticketing operations in the world—the Hollywood Bowl, Royal Albert Hall, New York City Ballet, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Melbourne Theatre Company—as well as museums like the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art, LA County Museum of Art, and Museum of Science Boston.

We understand Tessitura’s data model, its API, and its ecosystem of tools. More importantly, we understand how all of that connects to audience experience: how people discover events, choose seats, build subscriptions, make donations, plan visits, and manage their accounts.

BlocksOffice

BlocksOffice is our ecommerce platform for Tessitura. It handles ticket sales, donations, subscriptions, memberships, and account management—built on top of the Tessitura API with a design and user experience we control completely. Current clients include the New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles Philharmonic, Royal Albert Hall, Roundabout Theatre Company, Minnesota Orchestra, and New York City Ballet.

SeatCurve

SeatCurve is our select-your-own-seat product. It replaces standard Tessitura seat maps with an interface that shows audiences a realistic sense of the venue—actual hall layouts, sightlines, obstructions, accessibility locations—rather than abstract grids.

Seat maps are configured via SVG, so they can reflect architectural details like balcony overhangs and unusual configurations. SeatCurve can include view-from-seat photography and conditional upsells to better available seats. It works as part of a BlocksOffice ticketing path or integrated with TNEW.

TNEW styling and hybrid approaches

For organizations using Tessitura’s TNEW, we design and implement custom styling that creates a seamless experience between marketing site and purchase path. We also build hybrid approaches—custom interfaces for event discovery, calendars, or seat selection on the CMS side, connecting to TNEW for cart and checkout.

This lets you shape the parts of the journey where design and user experience matter most, while relying on TNEW for payment processing and order completion.

Tessitura-aware marketing sites

We maintain a Tessitura proxy service that makes it possible to build features on marketing sites using live data from your Tessitura instance. This powers things like buy buttons reflecting real-time availability, calendars merging Tessitura events with CMS content, and personalization based on a logged-in user’s history or membership status.

The proxy handles caching and access control, reducing load on Tessitura while making its data safely available to front-end development.
