Student Rush Offers for High Schoolers

Hey there,

Is anyone engaging with High School Students to let them know about Student Rush offers? Our marketing department is wondering the best way to do this. 

We are thinking about posting on social media that folks can sign up for a dedicated Rush email list, of course anyone would be able to sign up. Is anyone doing anything like this or have any ideas? 

Thanks!

  • Hey Angela, Could someone from marketing/ticketing reach out to high school theater/drama/music teachers to let them know about TPAC's high school student rush program? A PDF could be made that's send to those teachers. They could then hang it in their classrooms or give it to students who might be interested. Combine that with a social media push and perhaps a high school student "street team"...and TPAC should be able to get a good list of high school students. Then...you could create a list of those students as they sign up. Then you could use pricing rules to control student rush online. You could set the rule to be a certain number of seats so the student couldn't book more than that number of seats. You could also set it so the tickets are held for them and they have to pay cash and present a student ID at the windows, night of show....or allow them to use debit/credit cards to pre-pay and still have them show their student ID to receive the tickets. Another thing you could do to help speed up the will call lines is create a constituency that is something like "Verified High School Student - VHS (how 80's of me LOL)" that would appear in the header so the window agents would see that and not have to ask for the student ID to be presented. Heck....you could even do PAH tickets that you push out day of show to those students who are verified and tickets are paid in full to help alleviate will call lines more. The bigger question is....do you make this student account be part of their parent's household account or have it be a stand alone account that you associate to their parent's account. -Chris
