Flagging Events- Not Print Tickets

Hello,

Wondering if anyone knows if there is a way to set up an event so that it is NOT ticketed? or perhaps the tickets show up as already been printed.


We have instances were some fundraising events will be sold as a GA event with then seating being done the day before or so into specific seats.

The goal is to avoid our staff from printing the GA event.

Thanks, 

  • We have a custom interceptor that "prints" (switches the sublime item to Ticketed from seated but not ticketed) everything automatically in a certain season that Tessitura wrote for us. Before that we batch printed the production to a file every day so no tickets actually printed from the ticket printer.

  • Not sure if this will work exactly for your situation, but if all you want to do is prevent tickets being printed for a specific event, just uncheck "Printing" for all modes of sale on that event.

    We use this for events that where all tickets are held for will call -- just don't forget to re-check all of those checkboxes when its time to print tickets!

  • Extremely Helpful!!

    Thanks so much Nick.

  • Maureen,

    Another option to run possibly in conjunction with Nick's suggestion is to create a batch printing set for the event(s) you don't want to print and print them to file.  This will mark the tickets as printed without sending them to a printer.  In the batch printing set click Preview and select File in the Print To section.  Once you select this option and click OK a windows dialogue will open prompting you to save the file.  Once you name the file and save it your tickets will be 'printed'.  You would need to turn printing back on for those performances for the batch printing option to work.

    Best,

    Anna
