Box Office Thoughts

We are in this Box Office more than we are in our home... it's become our home.

(remember, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery)

You all are the only group of people that would understand this right now...
I'm sitting at home designing a Print-At-Home ticket for my Box Office and BELTING Disney songs. 16 year old me would be proud...

For everyone in the world who is running a "Box Office" out of their house to ease the pain of COVID-19 cancelations... You're not alone, take breaks and stay safe 💕

[Box Office Thoughts @BoxOfficeCalls]

The eternal struggle... Even better, when you pick up the phone out of instinct and then have to wait for your ticketing system to load 🙃🙃

[Box Office Thoughts @BoxOfficeCalls]

@ssamanka YOU KNOW IT! 😂

[Box Office Thoughts @BoxOfficeCalls]

When Development tells you how to run the entire Box Office...

[Box Office Thoughts @BoxOfficeCalls]

"How would you like to pay today Ma'am?"
"With your card!"

*at different theatre* I'm a patron at (random regional theatre.)

Getting ice cream after Box Office shift...How many spoons do you need? Um, 1.

Admin: You messed up my scheduled report. The money didn't go up much.
Box Office: Didn't mess it up. It speaks the truth.

[Shit Arts Administrators Say @artsadminssay]

No, we don’t think having 25 different seating sections in the theater is confusing to our patrons at all.

Tessitura specific problem... When you're so tired that you keep missing the code on your token... #boxofficeproblems #boxoffice

Happy #fridaymorning Box Officers! Let's get right into it.... I NEED TO SIT ON AN AISLE!

[Box Office Thoughts @BoxOfficeCalls]

New #BoxOffice new problems - not as much Development food though...

[Shit Arts Administrators Say @artsadminssay]

One (notoriously cranky) patron called to complain so that must mean all our patrons feel the same way.

[Box Office Thoughts @BoxOfficeCalls]

When people want to talk directly to the Artistic Director...

[Box Office Thoughts @BoxOfficeCalls]

Patron just told us how his crotch was numb one time... Casual conversation. #boxoffice #patronservice #artsadmin

Admin Staff: Left for the day because it's snowing.
Box Office:

[Box Office Thoughts @BoxOfficeCalls]

Patron: So when is the 2019 Subscriber deadline?
Box Office: That was December 31st...
Patron: WHAT?! SO I LOST MY SEATS!?
