Little London

For a while now, we've been talking about the possibility of creating an Arts Pass--a ticket package to multiple venues in the Pikes Peak region. It looks like this instinct is right on. London's cultural plan includes a similar program, using technology that most everyone has--the Oyster card for the Underground. Click here to read more.












Happy Thanksgiving from COPPeR!

This always sounds a like a good idea in meetings, and is quite difficult to enact in reality. With out standardization of ticket and admission fees how are funds distributed back to the arts organizations?

Too true, Atomic. One of the possible ways to implement this kind of pass would be if PeakRadar.com becomes a central ticketing depot.

In fact, PeakRadar is part of a national network, the Artsopolis network, and many other cities use their sites as a central ticketing agency. Realistically, we are a ways off from developing that functionality on the site, but it could be possible in the near-ish future. (I like the word near-ish)
