Coat tickets for Theatre
Polished reception, from arrival to departure
Coat tickets for the theatre — everything you need to know
In a theatre, the cloakroom is more than just a practical necessity — it is part of the overall guest experience. Visitors arrive dressed up and expect service that matches the style of the venue. A messy or inefficient cloakroom immediately disrupts that experience from the very first moment.
The deluxe set per staff member
The paper deluxe set in black/silver (500 pieces, €59.95) is ideal for the theatre: each staff member has their own set, clearly numbered, easy to manage and with a polished appearance. Each ticket consists of two identical halves with the same number. The short interval is the critical moment — within 15 to 20 minutes, dozens of guests must be able to collect their coat and return. With a well-organised cloakroom station and clear numbering, this can be done without queues.
No training needed for changing volunteers
Theatres working with changing volunteers benefit extra from this system: no training time is required. Everyone understands it immediately. Use a different colour set for each performance so numbers from previous nights can never get mixed up.
Own house style via the Coatcheck+ printer
If you want the coat tickets completely in your own house style, this is possible with the Coatcheck+ ticket printer. It prints unlimited numbered tickets with your own logo and text — the same printer used by the Van Gogh Museum and Anne Frank House. Ideal for regular seasonal productions or long-running theatre productions where presentation and branding come together.
