How to open a box office

Despite the fact that in recent years more and more people prefer to order tickets to theaters and concerts via the Internet, the need for theater box offices does not fall. It is profitable to open them in large shopping centers and on “lively" places, and all that is needed is contacts with theaters and concert halls, a tent and a ticket seller.

Instruction manual

1

Register as an individual entrepreneur, as the law requires a business to be registered. This is done at the tax office. You need to pay the state fee (800 rubles) and fill out an application for registration, as well as provide your passport. Registration is carried out within five business days.

Remember that there are many companies selling theater tickets in large cities (for example, Moscow). As a rule, many of them work in an automated system that allows you to sell tickets by simply printing them on a printer. Information about the availability of tickets enters the system from the theaters themselves, and the ticket offices charge a commission. But there are companies operating in a certain niche, opening for the sale of specific tickets or offering additional services. Therefore, first of all, you have to decide whether you want to occupy a niche or connect to a common system.

Find a place where it is profitable to set up a box office. They are not enough in sleeping areas, although, as a rule, it makes no sense to establish a cash register on the street. It is better to do this in a shopping center located in such an area. A good choice will be the “lively” place near the metro - anywhere in the city, as well as not far from theaters and concert halls themselves. After all, it may turn out that the theater itself will already sell tickets, and they will still be at the box office, which will be useful for spectators who do not like to come for tickets in advance.

Set up a tent through which you will trade. Next, you should hire a seller. It is best that the seller can advise the client on certain events, as often customers can not immediately decide what they want to do. Thus, the choice of the seller should be taken seriously.
