How we stamp 5,000 stubs a night

BY ADA BULL // FILED DEC 12

Doors and entry flow

Gates open ninety minutes before curtain. Each lane scans, stamps, and tears in one motion so the queue never stalls past the lobby reel.

Holders with reissued barcodes enter through lane two, where agents verify the serial against the nightly ledger.

Choosing a tier

General keeps the floor loud, orchestra keeps sightlines clean, and the box keeps the evening calm. Pick the tier that matches the night planned.

The encore ballot

Torn stub halves become ballots. The crew counts them during intermission and the winning song closes the show.
