"We are pleased that we are able to offer our festival goers the opportunity to plan and book for the entire festival in advance," says Peter Rorvik, director of DIFF. "As we are using different business units - the Elizabeth Sneddon Theatre, Ster Kinekor at Musgrave, Cinema Nouveau at Gateway and Cinecentre at Suncoast, each with their own booking systems - in the past we have not been able to offer a comprehensive booking facility which enables people to book tickets in one go for all these venues. GoingPlaces has come up with a solution to this, and we go live on 2 July."
GoingPlaces (www.goingplacessa.com) was founded by Ailsa Windsor in 2003 to promote entertainment and leisure in Southern Africa and provides movie, theatre and concert reviews. The service has now expanded to include handling of block and multi bookings for a number of entertainment organisations in KZN. "Over the years I have realised that it is essential to make it easier for members of the public to have access to a booking facility that caters for all their entertainment needs. In other words, a one-stop-shop," says Windsor.
