[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can’t remember if our elementary charged for tickets to a talents show, but they definitely didn’t charge anybody $5. I think the way they made money was by selling refreshments.[/quote] This is or should be the way its done. Entrance fee? What is this America's got talent?[/quote] +1 Charging for tickets is creating a barrier for some families and they should not have to “ask” to attend for free. The main priority of a pta community event should be to bring families together not to make as much money as possible. PTA should be setting up a system of “pay what you will” or ask for donations at the door. Sell refreshments as well. As other poster mentioned, a raffle is a great way to generate revenue. All these alternative ideas would pay for the nominal fee to print flyers, rent the space from mcps and pay for any other small things such as decorations and I bet the pta would still make a profit.
