WA Tickets
Tue, 23 Jan 2001, 05:07 pmNot sure which section this should go under but I just wanted to point out that should the present WA Govt be re elected,the present plan is to sell BOCS.
The hot favourite is Ticketmaster7 and it will mean the following.
All casual ticket sellers will lose their jobs
Any permanent staff will be redeployed or take their chances with ticketmaster.
All WA shows will be sold via the phone and from a call centre in NSW. It is simply a recorded voice and you press buttons to what show you want.
No personal contact, no choosing where you want to sit and no one to talk to about the shows.
The plan is on hold until the election is over.
Personally I would hate to see this happen. The people at BOCS at the Concert Hall and His Maj etc are great and it is a pleasure to book seats there. I would never book a theatre ticket by simply pushing buttons on a phone.
Any thoughts?
