Kintana vs TryBooking
Pull TryBooking sales into one desk — or move checkout to your own domain.
TryBooking is a trusted box office for community groups, clubs, and live events — especially across Australia, with regions in NZ, UK, and US. Low fees, free events stay free, allocated seating, and a local support team make it a solid choice for many organisers. Kintana is for teams who want ticketing, CRM, marketing sites, and email in one workspace on their own domain, with Stripe payouts and tenant-isolated data. Many teams connect TryBooking to pull sales into analytics and CRM while they move on-sales show by show.
Often a fit if you are…
- Comedians and promoters who want a proper site and CRM — not only a TryBooking event page
- Australian community organisers outgrowing spreadsheets plus a separate mail tool
- Venues and promoters who need settlement, roster, and door tools beside external ticket sales

Why teams switch
What changes after migration
Site + checkout + mail, not just event pages
TryBooking event pages work well for community on-sales — Kintana gives you the whole stack: hero, bio, tour dates, and Stripe checkout on your domain without sending fans to a separate booking URL for every show.
CRM that follows the tour
Segments by city, show, and purchase history live in the same workspace as your next campaign. Built for acts and promoters running multiple dates, not only single community drops.
TryBooking sync while you move
Connect TryBooking once, link shows to event IDs, and pull sales into unified analytics on a schedule or on demand. Move on-sales at your pace instead of losing reporting mid-season.
Migrate from TryBooking
Migrate from TryBooking
Connect TryBooking in workspace settings with your reporting API key and region. Link each show to a TryBooking event ID so sales sync into analytics and CRM on a schedule and on demand. Import contacts, run parallel on-sales if you need to, and move show-by-show when you are ready.
