Hi Troy,

We have just the ticketing system, it's called ATMS (Advance Ticket
Management System) it was developed by a Science Centre for the Museum
and Science Centre industry.  If you want more information, you can
contact me at (403)452-9100 voice or [log in to unmask], or you can
contact the actual developers Van Os & Associates at [log in to unmask] or
(403)421-0499 voice.

Either one of us would be happy to tell you more. There are 3 other
Science Centres and one museum currently using it.  It can do advance
sales, phone sales, group bookings, memberships (sales & benefit
redemption), scheduling, foreign exchange, etc... and tons of reports.

Hope we can help.
