Ticket Accounting - Performances
Discuss and agree with the Tickets Reservations Chief and the House Manager how unpaid advance orders are to be accounted for. The tickets themselves have come from the Reservations Chief's stock and they must account for them to the Tickets Chief. The House Manager has collected the money and it is to cumbersome to ask them to keep the money separate from the at-the-door and concession sales. What has worked in the past:
The Reservations Chief clearly marks any envelopes given to the House Manager with a "TR"
The House Manager makes sure that all claimed envelopes are returned to the reservations chief (after the last performance, return all envelopes, claimed or not).
The reservations chief will be able to tell the House Manager how much of the total collected was for advance reservations.
This amount is then attributed as sales by the Reservations Chief and SUBTRACTED from the House Manager's total for the performance.
The alternatives are for the Reservations Chief to "turn in" those tickets in envelopes and the Tickets Chief "assigns" them to the House Manager. The disadvantage to this is that it is not an accurate number of advance sales, though to be honest, these are "reserved" and not "sales" unless the tickets are picked up.
