Tessitura Integration

Momentus Elite and Tessitura have built an integration which allows you to push performances created in Elite to Tessitura and then to pull high-level information from Tessitura to Elite for each performance. This allows you to capture attendance and ticket sales data from Tessitura in Elite for reference and ease in reporting, as well as automate data entry to save time and limit duplicate efforts.

Specifically, the integration allows you to:

• Book an event and create functions in Elite and then send them to Tessitura to create a production season and performances. The event's title, production, and season will need to already be created in Tessitura.
• Pull the average ticket price, net ticket revenue, total tickets, comp count, and attendance count per performance from Tessitura. If a revenue type tied to a revenue stream is added to the Tessitura configuration in Elite, the net ticket revenue will be included in the event's revenue totals.
