NEW BOARD OF DIRECTORS VOTES IN A PROGRAM TO OFFER HELP TO MEMBERS WITH THEIR DUES

Last night, Tuesday January 7, 2014, was the first meeting of the new board of directors of the OK Chorale and I dare say a lot was accomplished.  At the Patron’s Christmas Show this year, a plan that had been nearly two years in the works was rolled out.   The OK Chorale’s new season tickets program came into being.  Research showed that although we offered several ticket prices the vast majority of our sales were our senior $10 ticket.  With that as our base the new season tickets went on sale for $22.  This price includes both the OK Chorales Annual Show and its Patrons Christmas Show for 2014.  So, you might be asking yourself, if the average price is $10 why are the tickets priced at $11 each then?   The answer is simple.  We wanted to give our members who sell tickets to our shows an advantage.   The board of directors wants to use that $2 overage to give back to OK Chorale members.  For every season show ticket you, as an active member (due current with BHS denotes active), sell you will receive a $2 credit towards your annual BHS dues.  For all of you guys that look at numbers instead of the big picture here they are.   Story Problem for you math geeks!  We will offer a max of 600 tickets per performance.  Each show will have 2 performances.   You with me so far?  That is a total of 1200 seats per show.  If all four show are sold out and each filled seat pays $2 to the Member’s Benefits Fund-then how much will be in the Fund to disburse at the end of the year.  It’s a trick question!  Will it be: (a) $1200 (b) $2400 (c) $4800.   The answer is $2400!  Wanna go for extra credit, all of you over achievers?  How many Season Show Tickets will you need to sell to pay your annual dues in their entirety for next year? (That is provided you are over 25 years of age and under wherever lifetime begins) The Answer is: 95 Season Tickets would cover all of your annual dues for next year.  If the OK Chorale sells out all four shows, the Member’s Benefits Fund could pay the full membership of up to 12 guys.  Tickets are on sale now and the new sales format will be explained within the next week.
