From top-to-toe, my dear Ogi O. says, “You got to put that sh*t together”! WE got together for two magazine interviews yesterday, both a long & a short that @ogioverman will write about our upcoming Winter Solstice production, “Awake The White & Wint’ry Queen”. Well-versed in each other’s dandy/diva natures, we’re always camera-ready right down to our wingtips - when we know we’re gonna be in the same picture! #performerlife #pressinterview #theatreproducer #artadventures #artistsoninstagram (at Cafe Europa) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4SSk5Mpe2X/?igshid=vsb5c97whdix

The Do or Die of Choosing The Right Ticket Service for your Show.

Choosing the right ticket service for your theatre production is a key component of your success, not just for selling tickets, but building a following. We can’t cover it all here today, but these are some essentials to get you started.

Usually, producers fall into the easiest or best-known ticketing service they end up finding. If a show is in a theatre festival, or working with a venue that has an arrangement with a certain ticket service, then the choice is already made on your behalf. But for most theatre companies, self-producers, and limited engagement productions, choosing the right ticket service is often a step under-researched, or left for the last minute. That’s a mistake. Choosing the right service may be a “do or die” decision.

So what service should you choose for your production? Let’s explore just a few options and put the question out there for our readers to offer their best practices. Seriously, I want to hear from as many of you as possible! I want to hear about your experience with Brown Paper Tickets, Telecharge, Telemaster, OvationTix and any others you wish to share. So here we go…

The first consideration I suggest is flexibility. How flexible is your service in terms of selling “general admission” tickets as opposed to assign seating? Can your service handle numerous discount codes, group sales, or changes to the schedule? What fees if any are involved in making these changes and what is the level of difficulty in managing these changes?

For most ticket services, there will be a learning curve. But how much time do you have for learning, when you are already spending hours in actually dealing with the other production issues? Will someone be there to hold you hand?

When I first dealt with Brown Paper Tickets (at the behest of the venue I was using), I found the service to be a bit confusing. I entered everything wrong and only found out when I thought I had completed all the steps. This was discouraging, especially for a computer-savvy person like myself. But in a state of frustration and panic, I luckily discovered that BPT has great customer service. After one brief wait, they were able to jump in and immediately fix my mistakes. With that done, I was able to start selling almost immediately. We were up and running almost immediately. I’ve since used them several times and for general admission Off-Off Broadway shows, or limited engagements, and they have more than fit the bill.

Another key consideration is cost and payment to producers. With most ticket services, the cost of purchasing a ticket is covered by the consumer (aka ticket buyer). Now this may sound like a good thing, but think of your audience. Can they afford the fee? Will the fee discourage them from early ticket purchases? It’s a hard call to make, especially given the type of show and the cost of the tickets. With most ticket options, I find it best to reveal the online service charge right away, especially that the fee goes to the ticket vendor and not the production. We also always try to make it clear that some tickets will be made available at the box office for cash purchases. This too requires a little math. if you only accept cash at the door, that’s one thing, but if you use a credit card service like Squareup to allow credit card holders to purchase seats at the door, then now you’ll be the one paying the service fee. As a result, you may want to make early online ticket prices lower, and box-office purchase slightly higher to average out your actual net sales. One last thing regarding payments: always make sure to find out how well the tickets service keeps records of sales, and how quickly they send you your check. For Brown Paper Tickets, payments come in shortly after a performance closes, but there seems to be no itemization of sales with those checks. Sometimes checks will even be for multiple performances without any explanation. This could create problems with your accounting, especially if you are trying to keep records on discounted sales and other discounted ticketing. If you are working through an established venue or festival and they handle your ticket sales, also ask them to clarify how and when you get paid. Cash flow is a big part of having a successful production. You don’t want a service that takes weeks to pay and holds the money.

Our last consideration (for now, anyway) is marketing. Marketing should be in everything you do, and ticketing services often offer ways to reach their list of theatre ticket buyers utilizing their websites, third party services, and vast lists of emails that they collect from all the people buying tickets through their service. In some cases, these lists are substantial, in the hundreds of thousands. Some services may even be able to target geographically and or by types of past purchasing patterns. This can help create the perfect list for your show. But as great as this sounds, do understand that the cost for these email marketing services can be quite expensive. Before you choose the right service, do your homework and see if you will be able to take advantage of the list.

One way to research the email marketing is to sign up for their various email lists. Do it early in the pre-production process, and see for yourself what they send you months before you choose that or another service. Are the lists segmented? Do they come often, or sporadically? Are they cluttered or cleanly designed? Do they make the purchasing process easy and accessible? Call these services and find out what it costs to advertise and promote with them. Have this all ahead of time before you begin the process.

Been there, done that? Great! Please comment and tell us your good or bad experience with any of these services? We would love to know. There is greater power in sharing, and this open forum is a great place to begin. Be fair, be accurate, and share your experience with those looking to shop for the perfect service.
