Author Topic: Online Ticketing for a Small Independent Theatre Mike Fitzgerald Expert Film Handler Posts: 224 From: Castle Hayne, NC, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 10-18-2005 08:52 AM                     Years ago when I ran my discount house I charged 3.00 a ticket. What I did was get 2 dollar bills from the bank and used them as change in the boxoffice. Two things happened 1, I became known for giving 2 dollar bills out and 2, i got a lot of them back at the concession stand. SO for me at least it boosted my per cap. I had to have the bank order the 2 dollar bills for me 1000 dollars at a time and I just bought them from them as I needed them  |  IP: Logged Dan Chilton Expert Film Handler Posts: 191 From: Springfield, MO Registered: Mar 2004 posted 11-08-2005 06:01 PM                        I'm only replying to this thread b/c no one mentioned RTS (the POS system we use). We're a small, single-screen theater and use RTS to do online ticketing. It's no more expensive than running a credit card in person, and allows people to buy tickets up to a month in advance... which is especially nice for us since we tend to sell-out often.  |  IP: Logged
