Greetings,

Our museum is the process of setting up an admission system.  The
following question is an issue being discussed by the adminstration
department.  We would appreciate comments on this issue from other
institutions.

When a visitor is charged for admission they are given a ticket.  How
many museums use these tickets as a means of control over revenue.  Some
institutions use the ticket numbers as a means to check admission
revenues.  Others insist that the tickets be issued AND a second form of
"check" be iniated. The "check" could be another staff member (or
volunteer) taking the ticket or some other form of traffic control i.e.,
turnstyles, electric eyes, etc.  We are VERY INTERESTED in how many
museums use turnstyles.

Please respond to me directly.

Thanks,

T.Patrick
