Ticketing and Pricing Your Show

Choose a ticketing system and set prices that work.

Ticketing options

  • Use the venue's ticketing system or an independent ticketing platform. Compare booking fees and who pays them.
  • Make sure you can see your sales figures daily.

Setting prices

  • Work from your break-even figure, then check against similar shows locally.
  • Consider previews, concessions and group rates, and keep the offers clear.

On the night

  • Plan a box-office list for the door and brief the front-of-house team.
