Major Activities

BosTix: BosTix is ArtsBoston's discount ticketing program, offering half-price tickets on the day-of-show at the two booths at Fanueil Hall and Copley Square, and in advance online at BosTix.org. BosTix not only makes the arts more affordable for consumers, but generates critically needed revenues for ArtsBoston's 170 performing arts member groups. BosTix helps approximately 100,000 people each year enjoy the arts for less, while generating between $2 and $2.5 million in revenues that are returned directly to arts organizations.

Activity 3

Member Services: ArtsBoston provides market knowledge, capacity-building, and cost-saving services to its 170 performing arts member groups with a goal of giving arts groups tools to more effectively and efficiently invest limited marketing dollars. Primary services include ArtsBoston Big List, a direct marketing collaborative database of over 250,000 households; subsidized advertising online at ArtsBoston.org and BosTix.org, and outdoors at the two ArtsBoston BosTix booths; cooperative advertising in print and online versions of the Boston Globe and other local media outlets; and dynamic collaborative promotional programs like the annual Mayor's Holiday Special and special initiatives with the Greater Boston Convention & Visitors Bureau.
