Pricing Rules buy 2 tickets get the third ticket free

Hello Tessi folks,
 
I'm wracking my brain trying to create a Pricing Rule that does what I'm trying to achieve.  I've tried a few different permutations (from both the documentation and the recipe book) but to no avail.  The scenario is:

  • a season comprising 8 production seasons each having 5 performances
  • NIDA Alumni given a promo code to force a MOS and Price Type
  • the customer purchases a number of tickets across multiple performances and production seasons
  • regardless of how many tickets are purchased for each performance, every third ticket is complimentary - for example: buy 1 ticket for each of performance A, B and C - the ticket for performance C is free

I can make the rules work if all three tickets are for the same performance.

Is this possible?  Can this also work with packages?

Has anyone else done this sort of offer?

  • Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm not sure why this couldn't this be done with a Buy One Get One Pricing Rule. Your action would be a Price Type Change to Comp. Your criteria would be the desired performances, for every 3 seats at whatever Price Types you want included. Apply the rule to 1 of those seats to a maximum of how many ever free tickets you'd like to offer. You can't force WHICH ticket ends up being free with this rule because it's based on the order the patron adds them to their cart.
