- Tickets must be reserved at least 2 weeks prior to opening night;
- Theatres may choose if nominators are given 1 or 2 tickets;

- Nominators must notify TPS immediately regarding anything preventing them from seeing their assigned show.
- Depending on the number of nominators, each will likely see 15-20 shows in a season
Nominator voting
-
- Nominators must register their vote within 48 hours of seeing the show;

Compiling

- At the end of the season, scores are compiled and calculated for each category – the top 4-5 artists in each category will become the “nominees” for each individual award.
People’s Choice
