Box Office no longer selling tickets for groups in The Villages

From the on line news:.
Performing arts groups in The Villages have raised concerns that ticket sales for shows, many of which benefit charitable causes, will be hurt by a decision by The Villages Box Office not to sell the tickets.
In addition to the performing arts groups, it could also be problematic for residents who want to buy tickets to see the shows and support the charitable causes.
In an email response to Deakin, District Manager Kenny Blocker pointed out that The Villages Entertainment Department, which operates the Box Office locations, is a “private entity” and not “affiliated” with the District Government. However, Blocker offered the explanation on behalf of The Villages Entertainment that the organization does not want to be “a ticketmaster software provider.”

Did I not hear the words "software provider" in the priority golf negotiations ?

Perhaps we should consider the idea of incorporating into the new PWAC funded Brownwood windmill a resident only box office.
