I've been using TicketsClub for years and overall it's ok:

* Payments/wires ALWAYS on time and 100% - NEVER a missed payment.

* They had a rough patch when the larger processors were going down and everyone was signing up with them - their servers were overloaded and the signup forms were not coming up very quickly (TicketsClub)

BUT, that has been upgraded dramatically and the signup forms are pretty snappy now.

The non-standard format of TicketsClub does seem to dampen conversion rates significantly (the joining of a club and entering through theatre metaphor, while legally essential to their cc compliance as 3rd pp does confuse prospective members). Surfers usually do a double take when they transition from your join page to the first TC signup page. Many surfers feel like they have gone another site and are concerned about signing up for something else instead of what they were just looking at.

I've run comparisons several times over several years with TicketsClub against a variety of other more traditional signup form processors and I get up to double the signups with single-form 'enter your cc info and go' processors (as opposed to TicketsClub), but in the end, Verotel is a great company to deal with.

* Verotel also offers some really good multi-currency features so you can overload your signup forms with prices/options in local currencies and according to the 'Big Mac Index' for max returns in given regions.

They are NOT US-based which lightens the load re DOJ zaniness.

I would very much like to and plan to upgrade to Verotel Pro but the last time I was considering it they were having their server overload problems with TicketsClub and I was nervous about risking the investment to upgrade to Pro.

It sounds like Pro is significantly better than TicketsClub according to the posts here.

Thanks for the feedback.
