Nightjar — a box office

Needs the planBusiness

Where a festival is one event in depth, a venue is many in sequence. Ten shows across twelve nights, each with an advance price and a door price, and a detail page that sells without making anybody think.

The listing is ruled like a printed listings column: date, act, room, price. It is the oldest solved problem in this business and it is still the right answer.

The dates rebase when it installs, so the listing is never a blank page on the first afternoon.
