Chapter 12 Summary

I read chapter 12 of the Management book "Box Office, Ticketing Systems, and Other Earned Income." The box office is the prime ticket selling place. it is a classic sign of theatres everywhere. More and more companies are taking ticket selling to the internet. the purchase of tickets through the internet is very convenient for the customer. A box office can end up being more of a "will call" pick up spot, and the selling point of tickets the night of the show. It is important to keep the box office secure as it usually stores some equipment and money. theatre ticket stubs are great memories for personal use, but also great for use in the box office to tally the total amount of patrons who visited. Some tickets are called box tickets and are the "best seats" in the house. they are usually reserved for the producers or season ticket holders. usually on opening night there are press tickets so that members of the media may take record of the opening of the show. regardless of how they are sold (internet, phone, or box office) tickets will be an important part of any event. it takes some skill to be able to run a box office.
