Bedlam has run a computerised box office system since the fringe 2003 initially using "limelight ticketing" and a standard printer.
The current Box Office system was procured in the summer of 2005 and is powered by the NEWTS software written by David Illsley. The NEWTS software is written in Java and uses a Visual Basic interface to send things to the ticket printer.
The ticket printer is a Star TSP400 thermal ticket printer, with cutter.
Tickets are currently provided by Thermal Tickets.
Panic Alarm
There is a panic alarm trigger in the office (and in the servery) when this is activated, alarms will go of in different parts of the building. The reset is on the top of a black box beside the printer. (marked reset thoughly enough)
Till
The till is opened by pressing the doorbell switch to the left of the drawer (not the red button to the right, that is the panic alarm you fool)
As of fringe 2006 the till now features an immobiliser connected through the panic alarm. When the panic alarm is activated in the box office, the till will no longer open. Once the alarm is reset, the till will work again. If this stops working the till can still be opened by flicking a switch at the back, underneath the till (though this is a pain to find)
