Ticket Stock - Custom Layout Presentation

This will explain how to send us a ticket layout design that you wish to have customized and built into Box Office Xpress. Please allow approx. 1 to 3 weeks to complete the new design and incorporate it into a program update.

First Step:  Cut about an inch or more off the top and one side of a normal sheet of paper. This is so our fax will not attempt to reduce the size of your layout in order to make it fit onto a page.

Option A:  If you just need certain items in an existing layout removed.

• Print out the ticket you are basing you're design on.
• Scratch out the items you don't want, using a thick black marker.
• Securely tape the ticket on the center of the page.
• Using a black marker, draw a line on the page, around the outer edge of the ticket. This is because the edge of the ticket will likely not be clear on the fax.
• Make note on the page of the ticket layout that you used.

Option B:  If you need minor adjustments made to an existing layout.

• Print out the ticket you are basing you're design on.
• Securely tape the ticket on the center of the page.
• In thin black marker or dark pen, make separate notes on the page of each minor adjustment and draw a line from each note to the item that needs adjusting.
• Using a black marker, draw a line on the page, around the outer edge of the ticket. This is because the edge of the ticket will likely not be clear on the fax.
• Make note on the page of the ticket layout that you used.

Option C:  If you need a unique design (standard 2" x 5½" ticket size)

• Print out a grid ticket.
• Design your ticket layout on the grid ticket, using a dark pen or thin black marker.
• Securely tape the ticket on the center of the page.
• Using a black marker, draw a line on the page, around the outer edge of the ticket. This is because the edge of the ticket will likely not be clear on the fax.

Option D:  If you need a unique design (non-standard size)

• Order your ticket stock (make sure the stock size is supported by your printer).
• Design your ticket layout on paper or in a software graphics program (clearly indicate the outer edge of the ticket).
• Make note of the dimensions of the ticket.
• Ship about 100 tickets to us for design and testing purposes.

Next Step:  Make note of the make and model of ticket printer, and also indicate if it is a 200dpi or a 300dpi printer.
