Prices For Double Booking
(with another school)

How does it work?

If you have another school in your area then with a little work you can team up to have your shows on the same day and SAVE $$$.

The schools in question must be in the same area. That means for urban areas (such as Northern NJ, or Long Island) they must be in the same townships. Call 215/448-1110 if there are any questions. If you are in more rural areas, the school can be in adjacent townships. Call us at 215/448-1110 or e-mail us at tss@fi.edu if you have any questions.

When you double book, you must make arrangements with the other school. Prices for both schools are lower (depending on location) and the mileage fee is split by both schools. Double bookings are NOT permitted during the discount period.

How much can you save by double booking? It depends on the county your school is in. We break this up into three zones.

Schools in zones 1 and 2 must be booked on the same day. Prices listed are what both schools pay.
