A gentle step into a brave new world?

I was quite excited this morning. Possibly not as excited as Mark would have been as his facebook posts have told lots of people that he has been too excited by far just recently. Hopefully lots more BMT company members will be excited tomorrow evening. And at our committee meeting this Thursday there will be even more excitement. Are you curious as to why we're all excited? It's because it appears that our online ticket sales system is up and running.
It should work if you click here bmt.ticketsource.co.uk or here Feel free to click on the link now and add it to your favourites. You should be able to choose how many tickets you want and have a play at choosing where in the theatre you would like to sit without having to press the commit and pay button. So playing is quite low risk!
Personally I think that this is a great piece of work by Mark and I reckon that it's worth being proud of. Is this a brave new world? I hope so. It seems that more people want to be able to do things online. They want the immediacy of making a booking and knowing whether they've got the seats that they want. And this approach allows us to do it.
Is it more than a gentle step? Possibly not just yet. Andrea is still working hard with us to make sure that people who want to phone their order in, or to complete the booking form and post it in, can still do so. But for those who want to go online then this is a great first step.
I think that it's open for business now. So if you're ready to book your tickets, send them to friends and neighbours for Christmas presents etc, then please go for it!
