Simplifying "Ancillary" Performances like Drinks/Programs et al?

Hello all,

Like many other orgs I have been assuming, the Australian Ballet creates separate Performances in order to print out programs vouchers and drink vouchers. These tend to clog up the product calendars, and generally get in the way.

Has anyone come up with any better solutions to this? It may be that unique Performances are the only solution if one wants to let these vouchers print out in batch prints, but hope springs eternal.

Cheers,

  • Hi Nicholas,

    That's exactly what we do as well and I completely agree that it clogs up the calendar. We do use a generic bulk date at the end of our season for our souvenir program and drink vouchers (as they can be redeemed anytime within the season) and the vouchers don't have a specific date on them but rather have ticket text that says they are valid for xxxx season.

    However, when you have 4 venues, hearing assistance receivers, parking etc. that happen at each scheduled performance, it gets messy. 

    We'd also like a way to easily tie these to the actual performance for our website. Right now we have a pile of code that grabs all of the ancillary and puts it on the page for the performance but if there was an easier way to do this, we'd be all for it!
