Hello,
Has anyone been successful in selling choose your own subscriptions on the web where there is a different discount amount based on the number of concerts you buy? For example 4 concerts you get 10% off , 5 concerts you get 15% off and 6 concerts you get 20% off?. The alternative would be using different promo codes for each level or a set dollar amount off instead of a percentage. I would also be interested in any other ways you have approached this.
Thanks,

Rika,
We’ve done this for next season with flex packages for each percentage off. The price types/price maps are configured accordingly. We have a flex package set up for 5-6 plays at one discounted price and another flex package for 7-10 plays for lower discount. That’s the way we got around having custom coding for one flex package that calculates according. I realize it’s a bit more set up to have more than one flex package, but it does away with anything custom in the back end. And with flex packages, the set up is a lot quicker and easier than fixed seat and/or super packages. Hope this helps.

We use different price types and a flex package as well - (single flex here though)
Price type CYO 4 vs CYO6, etc... On the web, I just do a front-end validation to determine how many concerts they have selected and send the appropriate price type to the AddNFSPackagePerformanceItem method when the reservation is made.
Our subscriptions are exactly like this. We offer 10% off 5-9 perfs and 15% off 10 + perfs. We create price types that reflect the discount and the site is programmed to check number of line items and update the price type.
