Having worked at Applause for almost seven years now I have sold thousand of tickets to people of all kinds. From large school groups to individual people looking for last minute tickets to their favorite shows. Now while we enjoy introducing our service to new people are bread and butter if you will has been the travel industry. If not for them Applause might still not be around. Now for those of you travel agents out there that have never heard of Applause I just have one thing to say to you?
What are you waiting for people? Now I know that we are not the only game in town. What we do best is make it easier for you and here is how. So let's say that you are a travel agent and a client comes into your office and besides coming to you to make their travel plans they also need help getting theatre tickets. Well I guess you could waste hours on the Internet looking for the best deal or you could make one phone call and get them tickets in a matter of minutes. That's what happens when you call Applause.
Yes I know there are hundreds of other companies out there that sell theatre tickets. That will never change. The question you have to ask yourself is do you really want to deal with the headache of calling ten or twenty other places to eventually find that they don't have what you are looking for or do you want to take care of it the easy way? I don't know about you but I would choose the latter. Look you already have enough on your plate trying to find your clients a nice hotel while they are here. Why not make a little thing like getting tickets a piece of cake. I like cake. Don't you?

IT IS A SMALL WORLD
Claudia received a call from Susan Rubin from Pro Travel in Florida. Susan is not only a lovely person but has been a client of Applause for over 10 years. Susan was on a tour of Vietnam and met another Travel Agent, Les Burger from Ladera Travel in California. Les is another long time client of ours and remembers fondly when Claudia got him tickets to see a new Billy in Billy Elliot in London and ended up sitting behind Sir Elton John.Anyway to make a long story short, they started talking about tickets and both raved that they had the best Ticket people for the US and for London. As it turned out they recommended Applause to each other and both laughed at the whole situation.
On a personal level, my wife was at a fund raising function in New Jersey and one of the people at the table was a Travel Agent. My wife said that her husband works for a great Ticket Agency for New York and London tickets. The Travel Agent said: Thanks but I have a great Ticket Agency in NYC and I really do not want to change. My wife said: May I give you a card in case you ever need it. My wife gave the card to the Travel Agent and he started laughing and replied: This is the Agency I have been using for years. They both laughed.
I hope you don't feel I am showing off but we have had so many stories like this. When we first started the company almost 22 years ago, a woman who was married to the Director of Personnel for Xerox Latin America called for some hard to get tickets. We were able to get her the tickets she wanted and suddenly, we found ourselves getting more and more customers from Latin America. The business world in South America is a close knit unit.
I think I have told you enough stories for now. I hope we get to give you a nice story of your dealings with Applause.
