University of Nevada, Las Vegas Performing Arts Center: Live & Streaming Virtual Events

LAS VEGAS, NV – The University of Nevada, Las Vegas Performing Arts Center (UNLV Performing Arts Center) has shared a ticketing partnership for over 30 years with Tickets.com.  The UNLV Performing Arts Center is host to classical music, self-titled events, performance series from New York, around the world, and more.   Since 1990, Tickets.com and the UNLV Performing Arts Center have ticketed inspiring performances to the campus community.

Like so many venues, the last year for the UNLV Performing Arts Center was filled with unforeseen schedule interruptions and new restrictions for the safety and health of performers, staff, and patrons.  Faced with many challenges, the UNLV Performing Arts Center and Tickets.com persevered and converted many performances to virtual events.

The Technology

Through modifications in setup and purchase flow, the UNLV Performing Arts Center leveraged ProVenue®, Tickets.com’s comprehensive ticketing solution, and MyProVenue™, the patron-facing digital ticket complement, to ticket both Live and Pre-Recorded events.

Adjustments included educating patrons on new processes, updating delivery type, adding information to confirmation emails, and generating extra email communication for virtual links close to the event(s).

Education

As part of the patron adjustment period to virtual, the UNLV Performing Arts Center created and distributed a number of videos to help explain streaming, ticketing, and accessing virtual events.

Live & Pre-Recorded Events

With a mixture of tastes and disciplines, the UNLV Performing Arts Center was able to host several live and pre-recorded events.  In February, the UNLV Performing Arts Center hosted “Live from the UNLV PAC: Ricardo Cobo in a Benefit Concert,” a virtual event that patrons/students could watch live with proceeds to help cover some costs the UNLV Performing Arts Center incurred due to the pandemic.  Other pre-recorded events, such as “Sur La Table,” which runs through April 30th, are available for patrons to stream during a set time period.

The Hartford Symphony Spotlights Virtual Events

HARTFORD, CT – The Bushnell has been host to a myriad of performances in the greater Hartford area for over 90 years. Since 1992, The Bushnell and Tickets.com have shared a ticketing relationship bringing over 20,000 performances to the community.

During the last year, the COVID-19 pandemic brought venues challenges like never before, including temporary closures and new restrictions.  Throughout the pandemic, despite the restrictions and challenges, The Bushnell and Tickets.com were able to bring The Hartford Symphony Orchestra® performances to the community.

Using Tickets.com’s comprehensive ticketing solution ProVenue®, as well as MyProVenue™, the patron-facing digital ticket complement, The Hartford Symphony Orchestra held summer events with limited capacity outdoors and indoor virtual events in colder weather.

The Hartford Symphony Orchestra (HSO)

In July of 2020, HSO once again began performing live with the Summer Splash! Series.  To prioritize safety for performers as well as patrons, modifications on the ticket purchase flow and ProVenue set up had to be made including attendance caps, online-only sales, extended seat definitions for COVID waivers, and disabling ticket-forwarding.

As colder weather arrived and restrictions increased, HSO created the Spotlight Series. A brand-new way to experience the HSO, the Spotlight Series performances, which are still available through June, feature smaller ensemble collections recorded at venues in and around Hartford to be purchased and viewed as a virtual event.  For these events, The Bushnell created new delivery types and buyer types in ProVenue for streaming/virtual, as well as modified order confirmations to include a link with event information details.  Additionally in MyProVenue, featured promotions were set up to help communicate further details on these virtual events.

The Adolph & Rose Levis Jewish Community Center Virtually Double Events with Tickets.com ProVenue®

BOCA RATON, FL – The Adolph & Rose Levis Jewish Community Center (Levis JCC ) has had a long standing-relationship with Tickets.com.  Home to the Phyllis and Harvey Sandler Center for live events, the community center has served its Boca Raton patrons with a wide variety of arts and educational activities.  In 2020, with doors closed, the Community Center had to find new ways to continue to serve its art lovers, music buffs, adult students, travelers, theatergoers, and film enthusiasts – so they turned to hosting virtual events over Zoom.

The Change to Virtual Events

A change of this kind can be imposing but with many attendees over 65 the change was monumental for the  Levis JCC. Alan Nash, Assistant Director, Arts, Culture & Learning at Levis JCC commented,

“there was an in-depth education period for our community.  We spent  a significant amount of time making our community members comfortable with the technology and the offerings.”

Amidst this change, Levis JCC was also transitioning to the latest ProVenue® platform, migrating data, learning new software, and training on the go.  Nash continued,

“The Tickets.com client engagement team not only worked with us to go live on ProVenue but enabled us to adapt to our new ‘normal’.”

Virtual Memberships & Event Info

In ProVenue Levis JCC set up virtual memberships and events that were sold online.  Tickets.com assisted with some modifications to their email confirmations and also built conditionals into their ticket format to place event specific URLs, meeting ID’s and passwords onto the digital ticket that was delivered to the patron, ensuring they could seamlessly access their purchase.  This allowed the Levis JCC to continue their process of educating and engaging with their patrons even when they could not attend in-person.

“Using virtual events has been transformative.  We’ve been able to host over 140 events in the first quarter of 2021, which is what we had typically done in an entire year.  Plus, with virtual our attendance has grown.  In some cases, we’ve seen events with up to 5x our normal in-person sizes,” said Nash.

Recently the Levis JCC has gotten a lot of attention from these virtual events, one in particular hosted by Trudy Berlin, a 98-year-old and known in Boca Raton as the Jewish Oprah.  Berlin hosts the Tuesday virtual “Ladies Room” meeting at Levis JCC.  Moderating the group for almost 20 years, the event became virtual during the COVID pandemic and has nearly doubled the “Ladies” attending Berlin’s sessions.

Mike Dunham, Client Engagement, Tickets.com, said,

“It was a challenging year for everyone, we were glad to do anything and everything to help sell tickets and it was so rewarding to see the success in attendance and event volume.”

With Florida opening up, these virtual events can only add to the many community offerings provided by the Levis JCC.

THE MOSCOW BALLET BRINGS THE GREAT RUSSIAN NUTCRACKER TO LIFE FOR DESERVING CHILDREN THIS HOLIDAY

In a year filled with so many unknowns and challenges, the Moscow Ballet with the help of Tickets.com brought some holiday magic to those in need.  The experience began with a commitment to support The Young and Brave Foundation, a nonprofit organization that supports families of children and young adults during their battle with cancer. 

Throughout the run of the Great Russian Nutcracker, the Moscow Ballet was able to help support donations as well as give two special ballet bears a home in the arms of Kalea & Noah Avery, through The Young and Brave Foundation.  

The surprises and delight did not stop there as the Moscow Ballet was able to offer up more holiday magic with children from three additional nonprofit organizations across the country, BeYoutiful Foundation, Camp Good Days, and Roswell Park, all had an opportunity to meet the exceptionally talented ballerina Anna Trofimova, of the Moscow Ballet this Saturday, December 12 in a live video call.

The event started with Trofimova introducing herself to the children, and showing them different detailed costumes from the Nutcracker, Swan Lake, and a traditional red tutu, Trofimova’s favorite color.  Each child then had the chance to ask the ballerina different questions, from “What do you do in your free time?” to “Who is your favorite superhero?”.  

A lot of laughs and fun were had by all, especially the aspiring future ballerinas on the call, and in that moment, life seemed suspended in mid-air like a magic leap.  Following the meeting, the children and their families were treated to an exclusive premiere streaming of the Moscow Ballet’s Great Russian Nutcracker before the public release.  

The Moscow Ballet also donated a number of beautifully crafted Nutcracker books to patients at the Roswell Park Hospital, and as a further token of their commitment to community you can share a digital copy of the Nutcracker story with your family and friends.

And don’t forget to experience the beloved official holiday classic, the Moscow Ballet’s Great Russian Nutcracker streamed safely from home with your loved ones. Get your ticket now.
