An interactive digital ticket that keeps moviegoers connected to their booking and gives them the flexibility to manage their experience from purchase to showtime.

  • Self-service that benefits everyone. The Living Ticket updates dynamically as booking details change, giving guests the flexibility to manage their visit on their own terms, from swapping seats and adding food and beverage items to starting orders or processing refunds. By putting control directly into moviegoers' hands, cinemas can deliver a more convenient, frictionless experience while reducing routine support requests and easing pressure on front-of-house teams.

  • Deploy it your way. The Living Ticket can be implemented in the way that best suits your digital strategy. Use it as part of Vista’s out-of-the-box Lumos offering, where it's seamlessly integrated into your Lumos website or app. Prefer to keep your existing website? Deploy Living Ticket as a plugin, embedding it on your site or sharing it via a direct email link. For complete flexibility, you can also leverage Vista’s Omnichannel API to build and deliver your own custom Living Ticket experience.
