Hello, all!
Our department has been using Tessitura to track attendance at onsite educational concerts for the last few years. However, this year we are transitioning to tracking all of our Education and Community Engagement programming in Tessitura.
We've approached this by creating dummy performances for all of our events, which has been great for tracking school/community partner engagement across programs. However, we haven't found an efficient way to track attendance for these events. We have "sold" and "seated" tickets to these events in Tessitura, but need a way to mark these as attended en masse. Does anyone have a good solution for this problem?
Thank you!
Do you have N-Scan for your regular events there? That's the easiest way--it would scan every ticket that is used and you can see who was or wasn't there.
If you don't have something like that, hopefully someone has a cool mini magic workaround... We have to track attendance for our classes, but since we don't have N-Scan, we track it the old-fashioned way on paper and manually change constituencies as constituents pass each course (which isn't terribly cumbersome, since the classes each only have 16 people, it's easy to process a few a day).
We do have N-Scan, and I've experimented with using it to track offsite events. We use the Group Entry by Order feature for our Young People's Concerts to scan school group orders. In this context, it works really well.
However, with the volume of events we have in the community using N-scan to track these programs is cumbersome. We've had about 70 community events so far this season, so printing and scanning each order is pretty time-consuming!
Hello Kristen,
That would be pretty cumbersome. Instead of printing tickets have you looked into using a seating book and checking people off a list, than later scanning them in? This is time consuming as well, but doe not waste ticket stock.
