Quickly adding seats for overselling

Hi everyone,

I am in need of a fix for Overselling. We are a Museum with a Planetarium with fixed seating. Our members get free tickets, and often times get tickets, but then don't show up for the performance.

Is there a way to open those seats back up, so we can re-sell them to other guests? (Returning the unused tickets is not really an option, since I don't know who used their tickets and who didn't)

Thanks,

Lauren

  • We have a similar situation for our Cabaret. We always have some seats in the facility that have production kill holds so when this issue arises the box office can quickly unhold those seats and over sale a performance.

  • Janna,
    How do you do that? Do you mean that you just raise the capacity of the venue to sell more seats, even though they are the same seats you have already sold?

    Thanks,

    You could actually double manifest your hall on the same map. This would involve twice as many screens for the seating. Then just kill the extra maps and open seats on the second map as needed.

     

    It’s the same concept that Ticketmaster would use to sell Wheelchair locations in the olden days.

     

    Have a great day!

  • Lauren,
    Yes, we add more seats to the capacity when we need to over sell the house.
