Would you like to have more control over your queue line? Would you like to know how many people are going to be there for the entire night before you even open? 

Implementing a virtual queue line can let your customers be entertained the whole evening while they spend more money at your event. Timed ticketing can let you streamline your ticket sales and fine-tune your throughput. 

Alex Linebrink from HauntPay.com explains how you can add these solutions to your attraction.

Justin Hill (Haunted Hills Haunted Attractions) uses some of these ticketing solutions in his attraction and explains how you can do it too. Plus, his customers are happier and they are spending more money at his haunt!

A business plan for your haunted attraction is necessary for keeping you on track with your goals and it helps when you need to get your permits or funding. Think of it like a "road map" or an "outline". It shows you how to get there and keeps you on the right road to success.
