What’s a “Will Call?” “Will Call” comes from the phrase “Will call upon.” It means that you will call upon us for your tickets. This is the standard phrase for theater and concert events. If you go anywhere worth going, they won’t label the booth “Pick Up.” I assure you that a “Pick Up” booth or table would not be glamorous enough for our events. A “Pick Up” area better suits a department store; it has no business at a concert hall.

Let me demonstrate the difference.

Proper Patron: “Why, hello. I’d like to call upon you fine Box Office Assistants for my tickets to this fabulous concert.”

Improper Patron: “Sup? My tickets?”

Either way you’ll get your tickets, but now you know why it’s called Will Call. You are welcome to call upon me, fine patrons, whenever you shall covet your tickets (Read: Yo dawgs, come and get your tix when you want ‘em).

If you lose your tickets you will never ever be admitted into the venue. You must have your tickets. It’s really rare that customers lose their tickets and we make no exceptions.

Except it’s opposite day. There are between five and ten people who lose their tickets per performance. Usually, there are another bunch of people who just never received them because they were lost somewhere in the United States Postal Service’s giant, trusty bins o’ mail.

Fear not, dear friends. We always have a list of patrons who have purchased tickets at our table. Our preference is that our patrons have their tickets on their person prior to showtime. If everyone forgot their tickets, we’d have a line of angry patrons around the block waiting to be admitted to the show. Absolute mayhem. I’ve seen it happen. It isn’t pretty.
