I'm going to second the DHPOS software choice above. It is completely free, and has a module that is fully functional
venue ticket sales program. It has excellent instruction on how to setup the program,
layout your
venue seating, and seat pricing.
Here's a quick blurb from the developer:
Ticket sales
This program will sell tickets to just about anything,
stage shows, movies, airline, train, stadium, theme
park,
etc. Tickets can be for something today or dated tickets for something in the future. Tickets can be sold as general admission (you have 100 seats, sell 100 tickets, and everyone finds their own seat) or you can sell individual seats (
Main floor, Row G, Seat 8).
This feature was originally written for selling theater tickets. If you are selling tickets for something else you can probably make the adjustments. A "
venue" can be a theater, stadium, aircraft, train car, boat,
etc. An "event" can be a performance, flight, departure,
etc.
There is no limit on the number of different venues that you may have. The same
venue may have multiple seating / pricing layouts. The same
venue may sell admission by individual seats or general admission depending on the particular event.
The program will keep
track of which seats are sold and unsold.

AND ITS FREE!!!!!!! REALLY, IT IS!!!!!
This also can be used as a regular POS register to sell just about anything.
Runs on any
DOS PC, Windows XP. Can be run on Win 7 but needs to be run with DOSBOX. The developer is currently working on porting it to run native on Win 7.
I run this on an old PC with Win XP. Works best. I have a parallel receipt printer but you can also use a standard printer to print tickets and receipts.
