Whether you’re launching a young company, are a veteran presenter of award-winning productions, or sit somewhere in between, The Applause Society can help you maximise
your show’s attendance and exposure.

BOX OFFICE SOLUTIONS
Are you being asked to pay between RM3,000 and RM5,000 as set-up fees just to sell tickets? Wincing from having another 3% of your sales deducted as "commission"? And you've just learnt that your audiences are charged an additional RM3 just to have their tickets printed?
Fight back!

Although the above fees might seem negligible to big-budget productions charging high ticket prices, we know how prohibitive such costs are for less-commercial presentations. Therefore, The Applause Society offers a kiosk and online box office service with a fee structure based on actual tickets sold with
- NO upfront set-up fees
- NO ticket-printing fees to patrons

Tickets are sold through the following channel:
- Art Tix at Annexe Gallery, a physical kiosk operating 7 days a week from 12pm-5:30pm
- online at applause.org.my

HOW IT WORKS :: Arts organisations and/or producers pay an annual registration fee of RM100 (waived for 2009). The Society deducts 15% of each ticket sold as an administrative fee. A further 3% is deducted for credit card sales.

STANDBY TICKETS
Even the most successful shows occasionally have seats to fill. The Applause Society enables productions to gain revenue from these seats — as well as reach an enthusiastic arts audience — by offering tickets at a discount to the Society's membership.

HOW IT WORKS :: The Society pays the production a fixed per-ticket rate for all tickets offered. This price varies according to the nature of the production but is normally 50% off the highest price tier. The Society requires at least 10 tickets per performance and requests for sales should be submitted at least on week prior to the first performance.

ACCESSIBILITY PROGRAMMES
The Applause Society is committed to lowering the barriers to access for all theatregoers. People who are deaf, blind or have low vision, use wheelchairs or, for medical reasons, cannot climb stairs or require aisle seating, are eligible to receive appropriate assistance to enjoy their performance. Here’s a list of services currently available:

Sign Language Interpreting. Professional interpreters, standing in front of
a side section of the auditorium, provide a translation of the show in
Malaysian Sign Language.

Preferred Seating. Audiences who use wheelchairs or are able to transfer from their wheelchairs into aisle seats can obtain the required locations. Those who are blind or have low vision are able to order tickets that place them closer to the stage, as well as secure appropriate seating to accommodate guide dogs.

HOW IT WORKS :: OKU (Orang Kurang Upaya) cardholders may register with The Applause Society to receive the above assistance at no charge. Tickets should be purchased at least two weeks in advance of the selected performance in order for the Society to make arrangements.
