Hello everyone - Each season that goes by, there are small nuisances that are sometimes left out. I wanted to get the ball rolling on a few items that are sometimes missed when building a new season. Feel free to list a few items that are sometimes overlooked at your organization. Cheers!
Justin Latta I just sent you an email of a couple of checklists we use at TPAC in Nashville. Hope this helps.

I could use any season and performance checklists that you might be able to share. I'm trying to teach this process to some new box office staff at the college.

Jeremy Painter and Beth HawrylukWould you mind sharing with me as well? I will be passing the torch to a new staff and would love the help in forming our own documentation.Veltria Romanvroman@lagunaplayhouse.com

I reached out to Beth via email and received an out-of-office notice. It provides no details as to the time frame of this period of out of Office.
Hey, Jeremy -- If you are able, can you send me your new-season checklists? My email is: tim@marbleskidsmuseum.org ... Thanks!

Hello, this is my first year as manager of the Box Office and would love any checklist you may have. This is a scary thing to have to do and I don't want to miss anything or muck anything up. Any help would be awesome. thank you.
Hello Anthony,
I was in the same situation last year. I can definitely help you with the build of new season. Firstly have you looked at the season building checklist in tessitura help system? They have a pretty straightforward checklist. For any customizations we can connect offline.
Hi Anthony,
I'm more than happy to help with this as well, as I've built quite a few by now - although I think every checklist will be different for every organization depending on your needs and business practices. I use a "Season Calendar" where I list all the big onsales throughout the season - such as renewals, fixed subscriptions onsale, flex subscriptions onsale, single ticket onsale, youth packages/tickets onsale - and then list all the tasks that are associated with it. There is especially a lot of testing that I do on TNEW, which I see you are on as well. Feel free to reach out any time at alavrinenko@tso.ca and I can share what I have.
Hi Anthony! The checklist in the help system that Parth referenced is here: Season-Building Checklist for Performing Arts Organizations.
Thank you Parth, I just went and looked at the checklist and am going through it now.
Thanks Anastassia, I am going over the checklist and if I have any questions I will definitely reach out.
Thanks Michael. I am going over it now.
