Michelle, This sounds a little like our "flex pass". Essentially we sell them into a fixed seat dummy package with the same number of dummy perfs as they will be using. So a 6 play flex pass is a seated package with 6 dummy perfs- each one at the same price as the tickets that they will be using in our real season. Then when they are ready to book their dates, we exchange their dummy ticket for an even exchange on their real performance. Could something like that work?

Hello!
We have a new situation this year for subscriptions and I'm wondering if anyone else processes this way.
We have only flex packages = no one really ever has the same seats. We follow a renewal hirrearchy to guarantee VVIPs get their seats, etc. Typically all renwing sub orders are held until the deadline, then seated and charged. Then new subs, etc.
This season Finance wants everyone charged when they place their orders. We can't seat subs until we have all renewals because we do not do fixed packages. You see the challenge yes?
Anyone else process this way? Do you have a fantastically creative idea you've arrived at?
My thoughts:
Purchase a gift certificate for each subscriber then when seated, pay with the gift certificate.
Charge outside of Tessitura on a virtual terminal, print the receipt, staple to a paper order and then create a special payment method in Tessitura that Finance will have to deal with later.They'll receive lump sums into a special GL that they'll have to manage later. Not good.
I would be forever grateful for any insight!
