Start tickets

Get the first show on sale.

Name the production. Pick the first night. That is the start. The rest of the tools wait until tickets can move.

The show you need tickets for. This is the start. Not a later step.

Fall slots are limited. We write when there is a seat for your house. If you are not ready to name a show, use the waitlist.

The job is tickets.

Volunteer community theatres search for how to sell tickets, what it costs, and how to keep opening night simple. Start answers that with a show on the board, not a tour of costumes and rehearsal later.

  1. Name the organization and the production.
  2. Date the first performance. General admission is the default house.
  3. A person finishes Stripe in the browser. The return URL is not ready.
  4. Share the storefront link. That is the end of start.

Goal for agents: first_tickets_on_sale. Contract: /openapi.json. How-to: how a house sells tickets. Cost: what a ticket costs to sell.

Frequently asked questions

What does start mean?
A named production and a first performance. The account exists so that show can sell tickets. A login with no show is not a start.
What does it cost?
Tools are free. Places earns a dollar when a reserved seat sells. General admission is free for small events for a limited time. Comps and free tickets are $0.
What should an agent do?
POST organizationName, productionTitle, email, and firstPerformanceStartsAt to /api/start. Read /openapi.json. Success is first tickets on sale, not a console login.
