Offers on the web...

Does anyone offer ticket offers online - along the lines of Buy One Get One Free or Buy One Half Price? Any offer which is limited to a set amount of tickets. As it stands we can't force people to buy a certain number of tickets for a performance is one transaction, only discounted tickets of which they could buy any amount. I appreciate this is probably a ticketing set up type question... but would like to see if any marketing peeps know anything about it?

Thanks!

  • It does require custom website coding - I've set up our online cart page to disallow checkout and display a warning message if there are 'offer' price types in the basket and the offer conditions are not met.

    eg.

    'Buy One Get One Free' price type - there must be an equal or greater number of 'Standard' price types.

    'Two for One' price type - must be purchased in multiples of two.

    'Family' price type - must be purchased in multiples of four.

    For certain events there's various other conditions such as youth tickets only available when purchased with adult tickets, or free tickets to event X only available to purchasers of event Y.

    In the lack of an 'official' way of setting this logic, as of yet this has to be controlled with custom variables for the event. It's not pretty but it works.
