Hey readers, follow up post from anyone who checks out SDFashion Turn.
As you can tell from my welcome page I"ll be attending APSA's Fashion Talent Show. (Usually reffered to as APSA FTS) I support it every year and not just because every year it lands on my birthday weekend. I've been affiliated with the show for a very long time and I"m responsible for the show's current format!
Every year is a gurantee sell out so I can see why there's an online ticket reservation system. It's a good idea because it helps you tell in advance how well your marketing efforts are. They also have a policy to release unclaimed tickets to the general public 30 mintures before the show starts.
The only real problem I have with their online presence is the inconsistances. This is the 4th or 5th APSA FTS myspace page! How hard is it to pass down the password from one eboard to the next? APSA itself has about 4 myspace pages too. This disorganization does not refelct well on the show as a whole from an outside the prganization perspective.
This is the first year that they employed a Facebook page as well. They had an events page set up and while facebook lets you RSVP you're actually supposed to RSVP through their official form link. It may have been a better idea to start a Facebook group instead because people really try to avoid reading as much as possible. (if you ever used the facebook events option you know that most people skip out on greading your invite!) Also there's the possiblity that they would have missed the reminder to use the official link.
If you managed to reserve yout tickets with the right link you're reminded that:
"Once we exceed capacity in ticket reservations we will no longer be sending out confirmations HOWEVER we still encourage you all to come by the ticket office early for our STAND-BY tickets line!"
What that translates to is that if you don't get the confirmation like you're supposed to you're assed out! It would have been helpful to know if you're confimration was denied with an email instead of waiting till the day of show to hope you have reserved tickets!
Alright that's enough complaining for now. See you at FTS!
