Changing base price

Hi Jeri,

The main issues I can think of would be how this change affects other areas of the system that rely on base price.  There are a number of reports that use Base Price to calculate the cost of discount or to determine the "face value" of a ticket.

This would be an issue whether you made the change now or waited until a new season.

I don't know if this helps, but we have some custom budget fields on some performances to allow us to enter our revenue goals for performances, which don't really have much to do with base price.

Good luck!

Hi,

Since we have been using Tessitura, base price indicators were attached to the highest price for each event.  But our Finance department now wants us to change to be our lowest price so Season Manager will jives with the actual budget done on lowest ticket price.  Are there any negatives to doing this mid-season?   My initial reaction is to wait until next season but if impact is minimal and benefits great, then now would be the time.

Thanks in advance for your words of wisdom.

Jeri
