A Word From Group Sales

Wow- it has been a whirlwind activity in Group Sales this past month! We are busy getting ready to put the new 10-11 season on sale to groups while wrapping up the current season. Disney’s MARY POPPINS was a HUGE success with lots of groups attending and enjoying this wonderful show. From our school groups to our active adult communities, everyone had a great time clapping and singing along to “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”. Mia Ricardo celebrated her daughter’s 10^th birthday by bringing her daughter and her friends to MARY POPPINS. “The 14 girls that attended LOVED the show! Seeing the show with them and the delight it brought to them just reinforced how important the arts are to our lives! It was truly a magical time! We rented a limo for a true theatre night out on the town, with Red Carpet Limo entry, Apple Cider Toast Post Show and a goody bag with MARY POPPINS goodies! The girls sang and talked about it days after.”

AVENUE Q in March and JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR in April were huge shows for groups as well- most ordering discount tickets online through their employer. ASU Gammage has a great program called EventUsher that allows individuals to order discount tickets to all our Broadway shows. The program is offered through many Valley employers or associations- would you like to know if you qualify?? Just call me!

EventUsher is password generated so employees log on with the password created especially for them. Linda Bird who works for Scottsdale Healthcare loves using EventUsher, “I wanted to Thank YOU for reserving such GREAT seats for the “JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR” performance yesterday! We absolutely LOVED it! Got tears in my eyes several times from being so close and being able to see the expressions on their faces as they performed! Thank You Once Again!!!” If you think your employer might be interested in offering this benefit, please contact me and I will send them all the details.

Two different non profits used group tickets to Jesus Christ Superstar to fundraise for their organizations. St Francis Community and Area Agency on Aging have successfully raised funds for their causes through the sale of tickets. We were able to offer these groups deeper discounts which allowed them to maximize their efforts.

The 10-11 season shows will go on sale Monday, April 26 - and remember….groups of 15 or more can order tickets for the new season before the general public. We have lots of fantastic shows coming next season including YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN, HAIR, SHREK THE MUSICAL, BILLY ELLIOT and more!
