What a Box Office Shift Involves:

As a Box Office Volunteer, you will:

• Check patrons in and sell tickets at the door using your smartphone to scan QR codes

• Track and manage cash sales

• Maintain an accurate list of Artists and Volunteers waiting for Standby seating

(If using a tablet, you must be comfortable and efficient at taking photos, as QR code scanning will be required. )

Schedule & Flexibility:

• The show schedule is subject to change: if a show changes, we will try to notify you

• You may drop or change your volunteer shifts as needed

• Traffic and parking in our city can be bad, so plan ahead to be able to arrive on time

• Your box office shift will begin 30 minutes before box office doors open for the show

Eligibility & Requirements: 

To work a Box Office shift, you must:

• Be able to work the entire shift

• Remain sober during your shift

• Attend a 2026 Box Office Training

• Have access to a smartphone or tablet

• Age requirements are 18+ for theatre spaces, 21+ in bars.

Signing Up for Shifts:

• The SignupGenius Signup will only let you sign up with the email that is on our volunteer list: if you are not on our volunteer list, please fill out the form on the Asheville Fringe Arts Festival volunteer page

• Some venues only allow one volunteer due to capacity limits: if you plan to work the show and watch the show with a friend at one of these venues, your friend must purchase a ticket.

Venue Support: 

• Each venue has a Venue Director present who manages both the show and the box office.

• You will have a laminated Box Office cheatsheet and access to the Super Secret Box Office Training Site for help setting up for your shift. We will also be a phone call away to help. 

Important emails and training materials:

Add our email address to your contacts to ensure you don’t miss important updates.

You will receive access to the Super Secret Box Office Training Site 2026.
