I know we can add default.aspx?promo=<promo code> to a link. Can we add it to a specific event link? For example:
To the end of this link? https://my.austinsymphony.org/single/SYOS.aspx?p=487 I tried it and won't work. I have to delete the "single/SYOS.aspx?p=487"
We are trying to make it as simple as possible for our patrons to utilize a promo code we are offering. Any help is greatly appreciated.

So we use this fairly frequently, you have to use the &promo=
https://cart.bostonballet.org/single/EventDetail.aspx?p=36478&promo=test
https://cart.bostonballet.org/single/SYOS.aspx?p=36478&promo=test
Does this help?
Cheers,
Michaela
Yes, in that example link you should be able to use ampersand to connect the strings so:
https://my.austinsymphony.org/single/SYOS.aspx?p=487&promo=xxxx
You all are ROCK STARS! I was making it a lot more complicated than it needed to be. Thank all so much for your help. Have a wonderful rest of the week!
Best,Jason
Also, remember that it's still a best practice to use SelectSeating.aspx instead of SYOS.aspx in your links — in case you ever need to turn off SYOS for the event for some reason, you wouldn't want all of your links to break!
Ladies and Gentlemen...I need some more help. Now, I'm trying to get the link to also ignore our mobile app Instant Encore. So my string looks like this:
https://my.austinsymphony.org/single/SYOS.aspx?p=487&promo=MWTWO20&ignoremobile=y
What that does though, it puts a comma at the end of the promo code on our my.austinsymphony.org side and says it's an invalid promo code. See pic below. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thank you again for y'all's wisdom.
Oh my god I hate to say this but my HS math teachers were correct -- order of operations IS important
try this (I got it to work for me...)
https://my.austinsymphony.org/single/SYOS.aspx?ignoremobile=y&p=487&promo=MWTWO20
" Truly you are a wizard." But seriously, you are my hero. Thank you so much. If you're ever in Austin, Tx...I'll buy you all the drinks you can handle.

Thanks, I may take you up on that. I am glad it worked.

Hello Michaela! I I hope you are well and surviving this craziness. I'm bringing up an old question, but with a different scenario. What if I wanted to add a promo code to the general packages page? For example: https://my.austinsymphony.org/packages I have a promo code that is WSL21 but I can't seem to figure out the correct string. Any ideas? Thank you for your help!
Be safe,
Jason
Hi Jason,
It looks like this will work for you:
https://my.austinsymphony.org/packages?promo=WSL21
If this page also needs to ignore mobile, that clause should still come first:
https://my.austinsymphony.org/packages?ignoremobile=y&promo=WSL21
Hope that does it!
