The Importance of Advance Ticket Sales
I’m sure that I don’t have to tell you that, for small theatre company, every dollar counts. Without a huge budget or a large number of subscribers or donors, we are reliant on ticket sales in a very strong way. Advance ticket sales help to ensure that we have the resources we need to build the set, book rehearsal time, and pay the artists who work so hard on the entertainment we enjoy.
So, if you know you’ll be attending…
