SUB Money Handling Policy

  • All SUB events requiring a charge for admission must utilize ticket sales in order to account for all cash inflow.
  • The pre-sale of tickets will require special arrangements and will be permitted only at the discretion of the department head of Student Activities and Union Services.
  • The sponsoring organization must provide at least two organization members to assist with the collection of money and the collection of tickets.

Ticket Sales Process

  • The collection of money will be monitored by a Student Activities staff member in conjunction with a member of the sponsoring organization.
  • Ticket prices will be displayed in several places surrounding the ticket sales table
  • For events with more than one ticket price (i.e., student price, non-student price), a tally sheet will be used to monitor the number of tickets sold at each rate.
  • A roll of numbered tickets will be issued to the Student Activities staff member by the Office of Student Activities and Union Services or by the Student Association prior to the event.
  • The range of numbers on the tickets will be recorded by the Office of Student Activities and Union Services, and the number of tickets issued will directly correspond with the capacity of the space being used and/or the desired number of event patrons, whichever is lower.
  • A member of the sponsoring organization will be stationed at the door to collect tickets from patrons as they enter the event (for larger events, two or more ticket collectors may be needed, to be provided by the sponsoring organization).
  • Money collected will be kept in a cash box at the ticket sales table. The cash box will be kept locked when it is not in use.
  • Prior to the event, The Office of Student Activities and Union Services along with the sponsoring organization will designate a time to stop selling tickets. At this time the SUB doors will be locked and no one will be permitted to enter the event. The doors will be closed no later than 12 a.m. for all late night events.
  • Immediately following close of doors for the event, all money and all tickets collected will be taken to the Office of Student Activities and Union Services to be counted. The money and tickets will be carried and counted by a Student Activities staff member and a member of the sponsoring organization, who will be accompanied by a SUB Staff security member.
  • The cash box will be opened and the money collected will be counted four times, twice by the Student Activities staff member and twice by the member of the sponsoring organization.
  • The collected money will then be placed in an envelope by the Student Activities staff member and the sponsoring organization member. The envelope will be sealed. Both the Student Activities staff and the sponsoring organization member will sign across the seal of the envelope. The amount of money in the envelope will be written on the front of the envelope, as well as the name of the event and sponsoring organization.
  • All ticket stubs will then be placed in an envelope. This envelope will be sealed and both the Student Activities staff and the sponsoring organization member will sign across the seal.
  • The two envelopes will be carried to the HAB loading dock by the Student Activities staff and the sponsoring organization member to be deposited in the S.A. Bursar's night deposit box. The Student Activities staff member and the sponsoring organization member will be accompanied by a SUB staff security member.
