Ticketing
You need a ticket to get into the event and this team is the one that makes that happen.
What we do
From the time Production sets the price to the time the Effigy burns, Ticketing is there making it happen. This team calls out for ticket designs, gets the hardcopy tickets printed, gets the online tickets organized, takes in applications for Limited Income tickets and connects applicants to the independent vetter, sends out directions a week before the event, and answers A LOT of emails from hopeful/ confused/ desperate people looking to get answers.
Team Dynamics
Where the money comes in and the participants get their ticket to play! This team typically has one lead or two co-leads, and one additional lead for the Limited Income tickets. The Limited Income process utilizes a third party “reviewer” so that none of our Community members see personal financial material. One or two more volunteers may offer assistance through the process, and the Ticketing team usually has a few volunteers for the Live Ticket Sale dates.
