The health regulations allow me to sell a maximum of 30 tickets per show.
I'm sure that most of you folks use some kind of electronic till so you can probably have that show you when you get to 30 tickets, but I use the low-tech method of numbered Admit One tickets.
I can easily figure out how many people are here by subtracting my opening ticket number from the current ticket number, but since I have two admission categories (adult and child) that's two calculations to keep up with. While I can do it quite rapidly in my head it's easy to get distracted when there are people coming in one after the other.
I've installed this on my phone: https://f-droid.org/en/packages/me.tsukanov.counter/
If it looks like there's going to be more than six or seven people here, I just put my phone beside the ticket rolls and every time I sell a ticket I hit the plus on that counter app. Even if I miss one or two taps while selling the tickets, at least I know when I'm getting close to the 30 and can do a quick subtraction to verify that and know how many tickets I have left to sell. And I won't sell more than 30 tickets by mistake.
