Ticket Sales
Wed, 29 Aug 2007, 07:17 amWhat's going on in Perth?
Why the move to using a ticketing agency such as BOCS for amateur theatre productions?
Earlier this year I saw JCS at Marloo, And had to book through BOCS. The performance was oversubscribed, and extra seats were brought in and placed in the aisles.
Now I see Harbour are using them for their one act season.
Is it because companies can't find someone to take on the task? Surely within a clubs membership there is someone capable/willing to do it.
I guess it does stop the problem of no-shows, as you have to pay upfront - is this the reason?
It does add a slug to the cost of the ticket. If you're paying $100 to see Phantom, then $6 isn't much in relative terms, but on top of an $18 ticket it seems excessive.
Any answers?
And the benefit of BOCS is

And the benefit of BOCS is that if there are no-shows at the door, the theatre doesn't lose out, as the tickets have been paid for.
