Participants: Review Your Project's Ticketing

Greetings, Fringers-

We have added 95% of your registered performances to OvationTix, the system selling tickets for your projects.

You have two actions items:

1. Check your shows at the link we provided you via email (contact us if you lost it).

Shows with multiple venues have multiple links; make sure to check each. Send any discrepancies to [email protected]. Ticketing is currently in test mode, so DO NOT publicize this link quite yet.

2. Tell us how many tickets you’d like to sell elsewhere.

By default, all your venue’s available seats are on sale through OvationTix; you can reduce this amount by 50%. If you’d like to hold some tickets for the door, include that into your calculation. Unsold tickets will be released for door sales on the day of your performance.

As we move forward, you can always email us to adjust the number of tickets on sale through the Fringe. We can not lower the number below 50% of your venue’s seat count.

In the coming days, we will grant you access to your ticketing control panel. This empowers you to add discount codes, fiddle with holds and comps, and run reports on how your shows are selling.

Ticketing will go live in the coming days, so please take action on these two items by end-of-day Thursday. Once ticketing is live, patrons can buy tickets directly from your page on the Fringe website or by calling 866-811-4111.

Still have questions about how ticketing works? Check out this article

…or email us.

Thanks!
