Gateway Ticketing Systems is pleased to announce its selection by The San Diego Air & Space Museum as the venue’s new ticketing and access control provider. One of the preeminent aviation museums in the United States, the Museum’s history dates back to 1963.

The Museum’s more than 250,000 annual visitors will enjoy an enhanced visitor experience with the implementation of Gateway’s unified point of sale and admission control solution, Galaxy. In addition to front gate sales, the venue will also employ Galaxy for order entry, retail point of sale, stored value, resource management and access control. The Museum’s new ticketing system is scheduled to go-live this month.

Gateway’s long and successful customer relationships were key to the Museum’s decision to work with the Company: “The San Diego Air & Space Museum is very excited to work with Gateway to improve our ticketing and group sales systems. We thoroughly researched numerous ticketing solutions and visited several venues that are currently using Gateway.” Said Sandi Landicho, Chief Financial Officer at the San Diego Air & Space Museum, “The positive feedback we received from Gateway customers definitely influenced our decision and made us confident in our choice to work with Gateway.”

Sr. Project Manager at Gateway Jim McGregor, looks forward to partnering with the remarkable institution and how the Galaxy solution will improve operations at the Museum: “We are honored to add the San Diego Air & Space Museum to our Southern California customer community. I am particularly excited to see how the Museum’s core value of education will benefit from the implementation of Gateway’s unified point of sale solutions. With our Order Entry and Resource Management functionality, the Museum will now be able to track and validate their significant number of school group bookings through a single system – improving their business processes and operations for an excellent guest experience.”

Gateway Ticketing Systems and its employees are thrilled to welcome The San Diego Air & Space Museum to the Gateway family and look forward to a long and successful relationship.
