Hi folks — anyone have some tips for doing this, or examples of the way you've configured?
I believe the only two realistic options are using a contribution page or using an aux item, and I'm leaning towards aux item since this will make it easier for the customer to choose the number of tickets and what kind of ticket they want, with the total being calculated for them. The performance itself will be a dummy that just holds the revenue until we manually move it to an elevated event contribution.
Also, I think being an aux item we could include custom form data fields to gather an attendee list.
Anyway, looking for feedback — thanks!
Hey Nick,
We follow the aux item method. It's exactly as you explained - a dummy perf and we transfer the revenue out of the dummy perf to an elevated event contribution. We also collect guest name through a CSI.
We have a very basic event on our site now. You can take a look at our TNEW here: http://tickets.ums.org/auxiliary/auxlisting.aspx
Let me know if you have any questions,
Jenny
