How does a booking number work? HELP!

Hi everyone, I've been slowly piecing together the production and theatre rental side to our show 'Boy Banned' and there suddenly arose an interesting point. How will we sell tickets? Now quite often I see a booking number on a poster for a show and I was wondering exactly how this works. We don't have credit card facilities...and tickets would only be really cheap so is it just used to put tickets aside? What kind of number should I use- a mobile or a home phone? What happens after someone has booked tickets? Do they pick them up on the night...and pay there? In general I guess (as it's my first time at this) I want to know how ticket booking numbers work so I can set one up for the show. Any help is AWESOME! Sean

Hey thanks for your help, I'll probably end up going with a mobile phone. I'm in Victoria- but it's only a really small production and the venue holds 64 people...we're doing two shows so 128 people. Now the performance space is at a primary school- so I suppose I could see if they would do ticket bookings...that's another option. I think I'll set up a voice mail contact number and simply use that. It will have to be pay at the door I think...even if that is a risk. Most audience will be family and friends anyway- I can get advanced money off them pretty easy. So I shall go from there and see how it goes. Thanks for your help though! _____________________________________________________________ Currently working on: "Boy Banned" a fusion of live acting, video footage, corny songs, syncronised dancing boys and egos!
