Excluding seats from statistics

Hello everyone,

For certain kinds of performances (our youth classes) we use a section of seats as our waiting list. This works well with our custom reporting, but it interferes with the built-in functions Tessitura has for seating availability, percent sold and so on. (For example, every performance we have looks like it's available, even when it's actually sold out and the only available seats on are the waiting list.) I know I can mark seats as "non-seats" but that pretty much wipes them off the map. Is there anything short of doing that which will keep a seat usable but not counted as a "seat," for all other intents and purposes?

Thanks! -- Michael at the Science Museum of Minnesota

  • Could you set up a separate season mirroring your education season, with a facility called "waiting room?" It could display in the client but not in Season Overview or reports.
