Historic
Non-Profit Theatre Signs Agreement with TICKETsage
AUGUSTA, GA – The Imperial Theatre and TICKETsage,
Inc., announced today the two companies have signed an exclusive, multi-year
ticketing agreement. The partnership will empower the theatre to sell
tickets in real time through their box office, telephone sales and the
Internet.
The Imperial Theatre, which
opened in 1918 as The Wells and counts Charlie Chaplin among its legendary
visitors, is listed on the National Register. The non-profit theatre
relies on community contributions and an endowment fund to cover operating
expenses, and did not have room in its budget for an expensive box office
system.
The theatre’s box office staff
needed a flexible solution that would allow them to sell tickets not
only for events sponsored by the Imperial, but also for the multiple
arts groups—including the Augusta Opera, Augusta Ballet, and Augusta
Jazz Project—that perform regularly at the Imperial.
TICKETsage does not charge
costly set-up or maintenance fees, and could provide a powerful system
tailored to the theatre’s needs without straining their limited finances.
