Ticketing for cinemas¶

On a Saturday afternoon, your cinema is screening five films in parallel across five screens, with showtimes running every twenty minutes : a family buys their seats at the box office, a season pass holder validates their multi-visit card at the entrance, and a teacher has booked the main screen for a weekday school screening.

So many showtimes, screens, and schedules to keep straight. Without a shared system, nothing prevents two neighboring showtimes from fighting over the same screen capacity, or a season pass from being deducted twice between the box office and online sales.

The Billetterie module for Odoo handles this constraint directly within your Odoo environment : a per-screen, per-showtime capacity shared in real time between the box office and online sales, multi-visit season passes deducted automatically, and a single ticket regardless of the purchase channel. Whether your showtime is open to walk-ins or reserved for a school group, every ticket sold is deducted from the same screen capacity, directly within your Odoo environment.

The 4 key benefits¶

A seamless moviegoer experience

Purchase at the box office or online, same ticket, same entrance control — no difference in handling regardless of the sales channel.
Showtimes and screens under control

Limit the number of tickets sold per showtime and per screen, even when several schedules run back to back on the same day, with no manual intervention.
Attendance rate tracked in real time

Monitor sales and revenue screen by screen and showtime by showtime, including season passes, directly within your Odoo environment.
Native Odoo integration

No third-party tool to connect : ticketing relies directly on your existing Odoo CRM, accounting, and inventory.

What each module brings to your cinema¶

The Billetterie module builds on Odoo's existing building blocks — each one covers a step of the moviegoer journey, from sale to entering the screen.

Point of sale : selling at the box office¶

Immediate sale at the box office, showtime and screen already configured, full, reduced, and season pass rates
Ticket printed or emailed in one click

Channels manager : expanding distribution (coming soon)¶

A cinema rarely sells through a single channel : third-party booking platforms and showtime aggregators also relay your programming. The Channels manager module, currently in development, will let you sync your availability with these external channels directly from Odoo, with no manual re-entry.
