Despite the fact that recently more and more people prefer to book tickets to theaters and concerts via the Internet, the need for theater box offices is not decreasing. It is profitable to open them in large shopping centers and in "busy" places, and all that is needed is contacts with theaters and concert halls, a tent and a ticket seller.
Instructions
Step 1
Register as a sole proprietor, as a business must be registered by law. This is done at the local tax office. You need to pay a state fee (800 rubles) and fill out an application for registration, as well as provide your passport. Registration is carried out within five working days.
Step 2
Remember that there are many companies selling theater tickets in large cities (for example, in Moscow). Typically, many of them work in an automated system that allows tickets to be sold simply by printing them out on a printer. Information about the availability of tickets comes to the system from the theaters themselves, and the box office takes a commission. But there are firms operating in a specific niche, opening up for the sale of specific tickets or offering additional services. Therefore, first of all, you have to decide whether you want to occupy any niche or connect to the general system.
Step 3
Find a place where it is profitable to set up a box office. There are not enough of them in residential areas, although, as a rule, it makes no sense to install a cash register on the street. It is best to do this in a shopping center located in such an area. Not a bad choice would be a "brisk" place near the metro - anywhere in the city, as well as not far from the theaters and concert halls themselves. After all, it may turn out that the theater itself will already sell tickets, but they will still be at the box office, which will be useful for viewers who do not like to come for tickets in advance.
Step 4
Set up a tent in the chosen place through which trade will be carried out. The next step is to hire a salesperson. It is best for the seller to be able to advise the client on certain activities, since often clients cannot immediately decide what they want to go for. Thus, choosing a seller should be taken seriously.
