How do you decide on Campaigns and Seasons?

Hi

I'm wondering, how do other UK theatres categorise shows by campaigns and seasons?

We're in the early stages of planning our Tessitura migration. My current thinking is to have one Season per financial year for the theatre, and one campaign per promoter per year. Do you organise yours differently?

Cheers!

    It all depends really on how many performances you have - we have about 300 per year so we divide our seasons by theme and fiscal year, eg BBC Philharmonic have their own season for 2009-2010, the Hallé Orchestra have several seasons depending on the series of performances (eg Pops concerts, Xmas concerts). We then have seasons for the bigger promoters like SJM, Live Nation etc. Everything that doesn't fit into these categories either goes into the Inhouse Productions season or the External Productions season.

    The campaigns pretty much follow the same pattern.

    Good luck with it!
