Ticket offer - buy 2, get 3rd half price

Laura Avery

Hi,

Hoping to get some advice regarding the above ticket offer.

We're soon to start selling tickets for a piano cycle series and we'd like to offer a buy 2 concerts, get 3rd concert for half price and I was hoping to get some advice from anyone doing anything similar.

Does anyone currently offer anything like this and if so, how do you set it up - by having an editable price map so that the box office operator can edit the cost of the 3rd concert themselves in the Price Details screen? Or another way?

Also, if you are offering anything similar are you also selling it online and how do you manage this?

Any advice would be gratefully received!

Thanks,

Laura

    It sounds like you might want to use two different price types, one for the full-price ticket and one for the half-price offer. You could restrict access to the price type based on a mode of sale for the entire offer.

    I wouldn’t go the editable route since the price of the third ticket is not variable, and it’s a lot easier to choose a price type than it is to edit price details — more room for error in configuration, too.

    For online, I know in TNEW this would be a customization. If you have >3 concerts in the series to begin with, you’ll need to code some logic to identify the two-event limit and then offer the half-price ticket, and then probably validate the cart just prior to checkout to make sure it’s consistent.
