Our consortium is moving toward a shared box office - selling tickets for multiple organizations at three separate venues - and the question has come up of how to handle printing tickets. For example, if the box office at venue 1 sells tickets to a performance at venue 2, should we have a separate printer with venue 2's ticket stock in order to print those tickets?
So... how are other organizations handling this?
Do you have multiple printers with ticket stock for each venue? Do you have one printer with generic stock? Is there a solution we haven't imagined?
Thank you for your insights!
My suggestion would be to have your consortium invest in ticket stock that can be used by all member organizations. We have thrown that idea around at our consortium as well. You could easily put all member organization information on the back of the ticket stock. You may be able to then drive down your overall cost of purchasing ticket stock. If you use Boca as your ticket stock provider, remember to tell them you use Tessitura as Boca provides a discount to Tessitura using organizations as well.
In the end, patrons have no idea what the “water mark” is that is burned over by the thermal printing. I think that organizations place too much concern on this image. That’s my two cents. J
