The Show Tickets need to be completed (printed, cut & numbered?) by the end of the day on Wednesday, the week of the festival so they can be available for sale at the festival unless you plan to sell tickets in advance.
Tickets are not generally used for festival participants but are sold to members of the public and parents who come to see the shows. Name-Tags act as tickets for participants. Typically one may purchase a ticket for a block of shows, for a day of shows or for the entire festival. The more shows paid for at one time, the better the deal. There are 2 basic approaches to festival tickets. The first is to make a different (color) ticket for each block of shows. The other is to make a universal ticket which can be used for all blocks. How all this is handled is completely at the host’s discretion.
The Block Ticket Approach:
A person can buy a single block ticket for one price or a day’s worth of block tickets for another price or all block tickets for yet another price.
Each Block Ticket is of a different color stock
The block date & start time is printed on the ticket
The show titles & school names are printed on the ticket (optional)
Maybe include the logo (in the background)
The Universal Ticket Approach:
List all 6 show sessions on the ticket.
Include session start times on the ticket
Include festival dates.
Maybe include the logo (in the background).
The box office folks can cross out sessions that the ticket is NOT valid for with a marker.
Ticket art work can be laid out on most word processors, photocopied onto colored paper and cut on a paper cutter.
