Q: How large must my group be?
A: At least 10 people.
Q: Can we sit together?
A: Under the Traditional Group Sales Plan, you purchase a block of seats, so you can all sit together. Under the Flexible Group Sales Plan, everyone buys their own tickets at different times, so we can’t guarantee you will be seated next to each other. Many groups find that sitting next to each other isn’t critical since people don’t converse during the performance. Larger groups actually prefer offering many sections to accommodate different price points and seating preferences.
Q: How much can I save?
A: The Traditional Group Sales Plan discount is based on the final ticket count. The Flexible Group Sales Plan discount is based on your best estimate of how many people will attend. For both plans, the more people attending, the higher the discount.
Q: How much work do I expect as the group coordinator?

3. Order early.
The early bird gets the best seats. The earlier you order, the better your seats will be in your section. Performances often sell out, so Flexible Group Sales Plan groups ideally should start selling tickets at least one month in advance, and Traditional Group Sales Plan groups should also start as early as possible.
4. Spread the word
Having enthusiastic group members help you promote and host the event makes a huge difference. Find people who’ve attended the Divine Performing Arts shows before or who are simply excited about the event. Ask them to help you spread the word and/or greet guests as they arrive.
