Fatal Fear

Navigating Unprecedented Growth Within the Haunted Attractions Industry.

In the fiercely competitive landscape of haunted attractions, Fatal Fear Haunted House experienced an unexpected surge in popularity, evolving from selling a modest couple of hundred tickets a weekend to an astonishing 200 tickets per hour. This meteoric rise translated to thousands of thrilled and terrified guests, creating a fervent cult following for the attraction. 

However, the rapid explosion in attendance brought forth a new set of challenges that necessitated a strategic overhaul. Issues such as capacity management, attendee authentication, record collections, and streamlining customer support needs emerged as critical components requiring immediate attention. 

Understanding the pivotal role that a robust ticketing solution plays in this industry, Fatal Fear sought out a reliable partner and found a solution in Brushfire.

Challenges

As Fatal Fear experienced unprecedented growth, the potential for error became more pronounced. Without a ticketing system, the team struggled to cope with the surge in crowds, resulting in capacity management issues and prolonged waiting times for attendees. Authentication processes were strained, record collections became overwhelming, and customer support found itself inundated with inquiries. Operating from a suburban neighborhood with limited space, Fatal Fear also grappled with complying with various HOA and city safety requirements. It became evident that a comprehensive solution was needed to address these multifaceted challenges.

“The platform is evolving and built off customer needs and expectations and it shows because it is beautifully crafted. The support of the system I can’t say enough about, the team involved is phenomenal. Every time I had an issue, it was resolved quickly, which makes me look again at value – you guys heard me, valued my company, understood the problem, and did everything to resolve it ASAP.”
