Cast Ticket Sales

As I mentioned a few nights ago, you have the opportunity to offer a $4 discount off of the adult ticket price to your family and friends as well as an opportunity to earn free tickets that you can use as you see fit.  The easiest way to sell discounted tickets is to direct your friends and family to the ticket link for Our Town, which is https://houstonfac.secure.force.com/ticket#details_a0Sd0000000AdfJEAS.  Once they've selected the performance date and seats, they can enter the discount code HOWIEP (for premium seating locations) or HOWIE (for the last three rows in the Garza).  The codes are NOT case sensitive, and will apply a $4 per ticket discount off of the adult ticket price.  Note that the ticketing software adds a convenience fee of either $2 or $3 per ticket, depending on ticket type.

You can also sell tickets directly to your friends and family members, and they can save even more money!  All you have to do is collect $16 per ticket ($14 per ticket if they want to sit in the back three rows, which are non-premium seats), and then turn that money into me, and I will in turn give it to Cami Starks, our Box Office Manager, who will enter the tickets into the system.  Selling directly to your friends and family members also removes the per-ticket service fee, so they actually save either $6 or $7 per ticket, depending on seat location.  In addition, for every 10 tickets you sell directly, you recieve one free ticket that you can use however you wish.

I'll have the ticket sales forms available by Monday's rehearsal, but if you want to sell prior to that date, feel free to do so.  Just make sure that you get following information for each set of tickets sold:
  • Name to be left on tickets (all tickets are held at Will Call)
  • Number of tickets per person (ie. Tracy Clayton - 1; Lisa Garza - 4, etc.)
  • Performance date and time (if two shows that day)
  • Contact number and email address for ticket holder (used for ticket confirmation and problem resolution)
  • Collect $16 (Premium seat) or $14 (last three rows) per ticket (cash or check payable to HFAC, no credit cards)
Please let me know if you have any questions about the process.
