I mentioned in my last post that I would be sharing another new secret we recently learned. Our beautifully printed posters not only are catching the eye of more potential audience members, but, we got a most interesting call.
Here in Okc there is a locally owned internet ticketing agent that runs a site called Okctickets.com . At no charge to us they have set up a seating chart representing our theatre and will post info about any and all of our productions to there 1000+ weekly visitors!
In addition they also print professional, glossy, barcoded tickets @ 10cents each! (no setup fee, no design fee) All of this at no charge to you!
How do they make this magic happen? They charge a small (in their case $2 per ticket) convenience fee to the purchaser. Also, I can still sell tickets to my own events without the surcharge, for cash or check, by placing the order through my vendor name!
What benefit is there to me? Here are the top ten!
1. I no longer have to keep up with box office seating charts, tickets, client contacts, etc.
2. I can accept credit cards without paying the outrageous fees required by most vendors, and no machine to maintain!
3. I sold tickets to people who otherwise would not have found me!
4. I can make tickets available to ALL of my scheduled performances early!
5. My clients can now buy tickets online or over the phone from home, office or car and I don't even have to take the call!
6. They also have over half a dozen box office locations where people can walk up and buy my tickets!
7. It lends credibility to my business!
8. Free advertising to 1000+ event goers weekly!
9. Saves wear and tear on my printers!
10. I will never have to tear my hair out getting the stupid tickets to print right and checking every last one because I know there are mistakes again!
So, check into your local ticketing agent today, or follow this link for an online solution that might fit your needs. Simplify, simplify!
