Why do I have to give a comp ticket?
We understand that for many small theatres, a comp ticket is difficult to provide. We also acknowledge that it is industry standard to provide these tickets for award nomination committees and press. We fill both of these roles and the comp ticket enables us to provide more funds toward the award show.
