TICKETING FOR THE ARTS HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER
The Australian National University and Canberra Ticketing have joined
together to deliver new ticketing services for the Canberra community.
From January 1, ticketing services for the School of Music, the Peter
Karmel Building and the Arts Centre at ANU will be provided by Canberra
Ticketing through the Canberra Theatre Centre, an activity of the Cultural
Facilities Corporation (CFC).
ANU Vice-Chancellor, Professor Ian Chubb, said the new arrangement
would provide important new benefits for organisations that use these
ANU venues. “We are delighted with this new partnership, which
means ANU can continue to focus on delivering great events and performances
at our public venues.”
The Chair of the Cultural Facilities Corporation, Professor Don Aitkin,
said the partnership would provide a new level of ticketing service
to the Canberra community.
“Canberra Ticketing is an important activity of the Canberra
Theatre Centre. The CFC has had a long association with the ANU Faculty
of Arts through collaboration with the Canberra Museum and Gallery —
this new business venture expands our links.”
In 2005, ANU will continue to present performances by students at the
ANU School of Music and theatre activities in the ANU Arts Centre, while
extending engagement with performance producers and presenters, such
as the Canberra Symphony Orchestra, the Australian Chamber Orchestra
and Musica Viva.
Canberra Ticketing has specialised in developing a comprehensive ticketing
service including counter sales, phone room and online promotion and
sales, and already works with many of the promoters who use Llewellyn
Hall, at the ANU School of Music.
Canberra Ticketing will commence ticketing services for the ANU School
of Music from 1 January 2005.
