Commercial Venues

From the box office to the bump-out, every part of your venue connected

Venue, bookings, events, ticketing and payments software for commercial venues across ANZ.

Commercial venues run on complexity. Hire enquiries, ticketed performances, function bookings, food and beverage at the bar, merchandise at the front door, conference setups and Annual General Meeting (AGM) coordination, all in the same week, sometimes the same day.

Attekus brings venue hire, event delivery, ticketing and payments into one connected enterprise solution.

Built for theatres, function centres, performing arts venues, stadiums, conference centres and event spaces across Australia and New Zealand.

What to expect

Built for venues where every transaction matters

Commercial venues serve multiple customer types simultaneously. External hirers want a professional, low-friction booking experience. Ticket buyers want a smooth path from purchase to seat. Hospitality customers want the ticket, the drink and the merch in one transaction.

Attekus supports organisations by enabling:

Venue and facility hire with hirer self-service portal
Major event planning with tasks and workflow tracked across the team
Major event delivery including run sheets and event orders
Ticketing with allocated seating, tiered pricing and digital wallet delivery
Online payments, EFTPOS and POS, with the Attekus ticketing engine on the POS terminal for combined ticket and food and beverage transactions
One transaction. One receipt. One customer record
Connected attendee and customer information through Attekus Customer.

One transaction, one customer record, multiple sale types

One transaction, one customer, multiple sale types

The Attekus ticketing engine runs directly on a Swiftpos terminal, so a combined ticket, food and beverage and merchandise sales reconcile together. One transaction, one receipt, one customer record. Particularly valuable for theatres, performing arts venues, function centres and any venue running combined ticket and hospitality sales.

Hire and deliver, end-to-end

Whether your hirer just needs the space or needs the full support of your team (catering, AV, setup, staffing, bump-in and bump-out), Attekus manages both sides of delivery in one place.

Internal checklists drive planning and compliance. Task management drives execution. The online hirer portal keeps your hirer connected and accountable throughout, completing requirements, uploading documentation and confirming details directly without an email chain. On the day, run sheets are generated from information already captured in the booking. Every team, every supplier, working from the same live source of truth.

Designed to work with your existing systems

Attekus integrates with the finance and identity systems commercial venues typically use, including Microsoft Dynamics, Oracle, SAP and others. Customer Identity Management Systems (CIAM) lets your customers log in using accounts they already trust including Microsoft, Google, Apple and social logins. Remote access control integrations support keyless venue entry through Gallagher, Integriti, SecCloud, Protege GX, Salto and more.

Trusted by venues that take their operations seriously

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Attekus suitable for commercial venues like theatres, function centres and performing arts venues?

Yes. Attekus is venue, bookings, events, ticketing and payments software designed for the operational complexity of commercial venues. It supports theatres, function centres, performing arts venues, stadiums, conference centres and event spaces across Australia and New Zealand. The Attekus Enterprise Solution brings venue hire, event delivery, ticketing and payments into one connected experience.

What is the integrated POS-ticketing engine and why does it matter for commercial venues?

Most ticketing and booking systems require separate transactions when a customer buys a ticket plus a drink at the bar plus a programme at the door. Attekus handles all three in a single payment transaction. The Attekus ticketing engine runs directly on the POS terminal, so combined ticket, food and beverage and merchandise sales reconcile together. One transaction, one receipt, one customer record. Particularly valuable for theatres, performing arts venues, function centres and any venue running combined ticket and hospitality sales.

Can Attekus handle external venue hire, hirer onboarding and the full event delivery workflow?

Yes. Attekus is built for the externally managed events scenario where an external hirer runs the event and your venue provides the space and the support.

On the day, run sheets are generated from information already captured in the booking. The In Practice page walks through this scenario end-to-end.

Does Attekus support allocated seating and accessible seating for theatres and performing arts venues?
