The ticket booth is a perfect place to show some team pride. Decorate with pendants, streamers and balloons in your school colors, cutouts of different sports equipment and posters painted with pep rally chants. You may want to use the area around the ticket booth to display T-shirts, pendants and other fan merchandise available for purchase.
The area around a theater ticket booth should look subdued and sophisticated. Decorate with dark red velvet drapes, soft lighting and bouquets of flowers. Make a sign with ticket prices and play or movie titles handwritten in calligraphy.
Get creative with your decorations for a haunted house ticket booth. String synthetic spider webs and orange lights. The booth is the perfect place to scare your guests for the first time. Have a skeleton taking tickets or a jar of fake organs to alarm squeamish visitors. Plant a motion-activated noise maker under a rug to startle your guests with the sound of ghoul groans and clanking chains as they go by the booth.
Bright colors and lights are in order for the area around a carnival booth. Paint a life-sized cardboard cutout of a circus clown or performance animal to stand next to the booth. Pull together bunches of helium balloons and weight them to the ground for a colorful balloon bouquet. String streamers and LED lights around the booth for some added pizazz.
A classic wooden booth has its appeal, but you made need something quick and disposable for a backyard carnival or home movie theater. Cut a window in the front of a refrigerator box and doors at the back. Make sure to put the window at a level that will allow younger ticket sellers to see their customers. Coat the box with white primer and then paint according to the theme of your party. You may need to reinforce the box with wooden dowels and tether it to the ground if it is a windy day.
