Testimonials:

Harbour Theatre have been using TAZTix for their booking system for more than three years and cannot speak too highly of Mel’s service. The transition from volunteers manning the booking line and doing the myriad of jobs required for ticketing was onerous and it was a great relief to let Mel handle our bookings.
She is very capable and only too happy to make time to sort out any issues arising from changes in ticketing, seating or dates and times.
The change over from our previous booking system to the TAZTix system was smooth and efficient. As we have a Subscription Membership, Mel is only too happy to make sure these patrons get their choice of seat and date and now we have moved into online bookings everyone has commented on how easy it is to make a booking.
It is a pleasure to be able to liaise with Mel at any time and she is always cheerful, accommodating and willing to listen to our needs. Harbour Theatre will be continuing our relationship with TAZ Tix well into the future.

"We've had some really nice comments made about your cheerful, efficient service! If our patrons are happy, then so are we. Many thanks."

Jan McLachlan, Pymble Players, NSW (May 2016)

Castle Hill Players approached Melanie and TAZTix to look after phone bookings service for the theatre, to handle the many booking enquires and also processing of the subscription season tickets.
We have found Mel to be a great point of contact for our patrons and subscribers, ensuring that all customer phone contact and bookings are handled promptly and efficiently.
Castle Hill Players having no full time employees and an existing booking system we needed a reliable phone booking service and point of contact for our patrons. Mel and TAZTix brought an immediate understanding of who we are and what we required.
TAZTix has allowed Castle Hill Players to do what we do best which is produce a great show and lesson the worry of the most important thing we must do – sell tickets.

Harbour Theatre made the decision to go with TAZTix for their 50th Anniversary year and due to the excellent service we have received TAZ will continue to carry out our bookings.  During the set up process the principal – Melanie DeCull was extremely helpful, supportive and went out of her way to assist with our particular requirements.  The bookings ran smoothly and we played to packed houses.   We also had great feedback from our patrons regarding the bookings process.  We would recommend TAZ to any theatre wanting an easy, efficient and cost effective alternative to in-house bookings.

Groovy Boots Theatre engaged TAZ Tix to handle ticketing arrangements for its professional production of Dimboola in 2010. We found the service to be exemplary with director Melanie DeCull often going above and beyond the call of duty in her services. Not only did she accommodate the booking arrangements over the phone and online with professionalism and enthusiasm, she also had to contend with the fact the play is set at a wedding and presented as dinner-theatre. This created greater challenges - akin to making table arrangements for a *real* wedding - in terms of seating people and their guests together as appropriate, managing last-minute changes and unexpected additional guests, along with sorting out who had the regular or vegetarian meals (and, in one case, a vegan meal).

Ms DeCull was on-hand for all eight performances, helping to make these arrangements, liaising with kitchen staff, cast and crew on the audience's requirements. As various shows sold out, she created waiting lists and a database for any future productions. On top of all that, she even lent the kitchen staff a hand on occasion, helping them to serve the hundreds of guests that saw the production.

As co-director of Dimboola, both myself and fellow director Phil Barnett are in no doubt the sell-out success was due in no small part due to TAZTix and its absolute commitment to accommodating our theatre's requirements, as well as the audience's. TAZTix will be our first port-of-call for any productions staged by Groovy Boots Theatre in the future.

TAZ Entertainment was a key contributor to sold-out success of Spontaneous Insanity’s Winter Theatresports™ Season at Subiaco Arts Centre in 2010.  Melanie DeCull and TAZ Entertainment are seriously passionate about the arts – and it is this passion that underpins the excellent promotional and publicity service that they provide.

Vida Hustas
Manager, Spontaneous Insanity, WA (2010)

TAZ Entertainment, and its proprietor, Melanie DeCull have provided fantastic support to the performing arts industry in Perth and beyond for many years. Melz' development of her company is commendable on many levels, and has been closely linked to the capacity of performing arts organisations to promote themselves and ticket their shows. Don Russell Performing Arts Centre has used TAZ Entertainment on many occasions to advertise its events. Although it does not require the TAZ tickets service, DRPAC is using the same ticketing system and finds its easy, efficient and low cost.
