On-line ticketing system and website review.
The ACT committee has resolved to investigate taking SHOWLINE to the next exciting level. That is as not just a means of telling the public What's On - but allowing the public to buy tickets to our shows. In brief the idea is to allow member companies to assign a limited number of their tickets to the Showline Box Office. These would be vouchers allowing them to exchange it for a ticket at the door.
This would be very advantageous to member companies with no on-line booking system, but also would need to be affordable enough so that member companies who already have an on-line booking system would consider it as a viable additional option to their existing provider. Member companies who use it would be able to harvest the details of their ticket buyers. ACT as a whole could offer all ticket buyers direct mail of our What's On.There are two broad ways of going about this.
1. Contract an existing provider of a Box Office Computer Package and pay them a commission on every ticket sold.
2. Pay more upfront and build our own basic Box Office - and use the saved commission to defray initial capital costs and to provide on-going promotion for members.
At the same time as we move to a possible On-line ticketing system the ACT committee has resolved to upgrade and improve our website.
