Customers can continue to purchase tickets for TPAC performances in ways they always have—online and at the box offices within the arts center and at Davis-Kidd Booksellers.

What’s new? TPAC is dedicating a telephone line to ticket sales and TPAC tickets will no longer be available through Ticketmaster outlets.

“This is a business decision. The Tennessee Performing Arts Center greatly appreciates the dedicated service and support from Ticketmaster’s leadership and staff over the years. We enjoyed a great partnership over a time of tremendous change in the ways that people purchase tickets. We’ll miss Ticketmaster staff who worked closely with us,” said Brent Hyams, TPAC’s executive vice president and general manager.

“Especially with the dramatic increase in online ticket sales, it makes better business sense to sell tickets on our own system. The new model supports direct relationships between TPAC and its customers, who will pay less handling fees and communicate directly with our staff during transactions. On a number of levels, this system will be more efficient and cost-effective for TPAC and its customers with software which was designed specifically for performing arts centers and has been customized for our operations,” he said.

Performances at TPAC are now on sale through Ticketmaster for shows through September 20th.All other future performances will be sold only through TPAC, which began using the new system for season ticket and group sales in April. --by CelebrityAccess Staff Writers
