Charging Internal Departments for Tickets?

Hello!!

I've posted this before and thought I'd try again!

I'm looking to my fellow Tessiturians that would be willing to share how your organization charges internal departments for tickets and how you have this setup.

Our situation:

Our Education, Development and Executive departments have 100s of comp ticket requests per season. These  impact the bottom line and cut into sales goals.  We've decided to "charge" each department a reduced fee for each ticket.  I'd also love to hear if there are other clever ways your organizations are dealing with this.

 

Do any of you currently have a system in place?  How is it working?  What worked and what didn't?  I'm most interested in setup but have an idea:

For example ticket prices would be:

PL1 $15, PL2 = $10 and so on.

Use a special Discount Price Type for Each Department

Create a specific Payment Method used only for these internal charges

Create specific GLs (buckets) for each department connected to the Price Type.

All sales would be processed through the specific show account with the initiator being each respective department.

Reports could be run by:

Price Type, GL, etc.  I'm thinking the Transaction Detail report would be a good one to use.

I don't see a way to work with this and have specific reporting for each department without multiple price types and possible event payment methods set for each department.

Would love to hear how others are handling this!

Thanks much!

Michelle

 

 

 

 

These would be "purchased" using a particular Payment Method and move to a specific GL.
