All this from a single web site built in only 4 days.

The site is able to achieve all of these functions by utilising the power of the KorbizWeb solution provided by advanced web designers Lobster-iT Ltd. The Korbiz system gives the administrator of the site complete control over the content and layout of the site.

After rebuilding the ticket office, the club invested in the Data Factors Managed Service. This allows the club to build a database, while providing faster more customer focused sales from both the ticket office and on the telephone.The service will soon allow them to sell tickets on the Internet as well. Charlie Little, the clubs Commercial Manager is keen to ensure simple, quick access to tickets, for both regular supporters and those that are just looking for leisure pursuits in their area but may not be rugby fans.

Data Factors spokesperson said “We are the only company allowing our customers to sell on the Internet and locally, while not having any need to allocate tickets and still being able to chose particular seats. This is seen by many as a key advantage for the customer and hence it improves ticket sales”.
