Miami University Box Office Ticketing Services/Procedures
Distribution for Free, Tickets Required Events
The Miami University Box Office offers an alternative to full-service ticketing for organizations requiring ticket distribution services for free events requiring a ticket (normally for capacity control in the selected venue). These events have included the Miami University Lecture Series, various speakers sponsored by the Center for American & World Cultures, and the Academic Leadership Symposium. It is possible to provide a two stage distribution sequence, allowing the Miami University community (faculty/staff/students) first access to available tickets, followed by a period of availability to Miami and the general public. This distribution process offers accommodation to out-of-town or non-university individuals who wish to attend the free event without risking a long trip to campus and a wait in line at the venue, only to find that tickets are not available.
Free, Tickets Required - Distribution Features
The Box Office will work with the sponsoring organization to develop a ticket identifying the event or speaker, title of performance or lecture, date, time, venue, etc.
The Box Office will bulk print complete quantity of tickets to accommodate venue capacity (735 seats in the case of Hall Auditorium), or a portion of total capacity as desired.
[Two Stage Distribution]
At an agreed upon date before the event (5 business days, 4 business days, as defined), tickets will be made available to the Miami University community (or specified audience). Box Office staff will distribute up to two tickets (or specified limit) to individuals appearing at the Box Office in the Shriver Center with proper Miami I.D. Box Office staff will attempt to insure that tickets are distributed equitably, recognizing that it will be difficult to enforce this perfectly to persons who choose to be dishonest.
Two days prior to the scheduled event, tickets will be made available to the general public (in addition to Miami community). Any individual appearing at the Box Office in the Shriver Center may receive two tickets as long as tickets remain available.
Tickets will be distributed from the pre-printed supply. Unlike standard Box Office procedures, no effort will be made to collect ticket recipient information (name, address, phone, etc.).
[Single Stage Distribution]
Same as above, except tickets will be made available to entire public on specified date.
Will Call Features
In an effort to accommodate non-Miami and out-of-town attendees to Free, Tickets Required events, the Box Office will make the following procedures available two days prior to the scheduled event:
Individuals desiring tickets to the Free, Tickets Required event may contact the Miami University Box Office by telephone at 513-529-3200 to reserve up to two tickets. Box Office staff will place tickets in an envelope marked with attendee's name and telephone number.
Individuals desiring tickets to the Free, Tickets Required event may contact the Miami University Box Office by email at boxoffice@muohio.edu to reserve up to two tickets. Box Office staff will place tickets in an envelope marked with attendee's name and email address.
Any tickets not distributed, along with all Will Call envelopes will be collected by a designee of the sponsoring organization prior to the closing of the Box Office on the day of the event. Distribution of remaining ticket inventory and reserved Will Call tickets at the event will be the responsibility of the sponsoring organization and/or Miami University Special Events staff. If specifically contracted, the Box Office can participate in ticket distribution at the event for a billable rate of $15.00 per hour.
Costs for free, tickets required distribution
The Box Office currently charges $0.25 per distributed ticket and $0.10 for any tickets printed but not distributed by the Box Office.
Example:
600 tickets distributed (600 x $0.25 = $150.00) by Box Office
135 tickets printed, not distributed (135 x $0.10 = $13.50)
$163.50 total charge
Payment is made to the Box Office through a university interdepartmental charge to the sponsoring organization's Banner account. The Box Office will provide a reconciliation summary spreadsheet to the organization within one week of the event indicating number of tickets distributed, number of tickets printed but not distributed by the Box Office, and number of Will Call orders. The interdepartmental charge will be initiated by the Box Office to the Miami University General Accounting Office.
