Today's blog post will be about the "will
call" envelopes. Certainly often you purchased tickets to a concert and as
a form of personal reception chosen to receive them before the concert where
they were waiting for you just in "will call" envelope. From Wikipedia: "Will call refers to a method of delivery for (purchased)
goods where the customer picks up the goods at the seller's place of business,
primarily in North American commerce. The word "call" is a shortened
form of "call for" which means "to come and get", so
"will call" literally means "(the customer) will call (come and)
get (the goods).”
It is still in wide use for
ticket sales at the box offices or at large venues as a indoor stadiums or
arenas, where you can find "Will Call" pickup windows. The method of receiving tickets and envelopes are most prevalent in the
United States, but not only. Currently, tickets in cool envelopes may be
obtained at the shops / music stores etc. around the world. A separate category
are special envelopes in which we can pick up before the concert VIP packages.
Then usually envelope design refers to the artist / band. Envelopes and tickets
You can see at my blog, refer of course to Metallica.
