Hi all,
So...my brain is finally learning pricing rules. I know, I'm late to the game. So...I'm trying to set up a rule that says for every 1 adult ticket, make up to 4 tickets child price while keeping the one adult ticket price. I'm using a BOGO rule but no matter how I set the criteria the return results are not what I'm looking for. I have set up a one for one (one adult/one child), but I can't seem to figure out a way to make the rule do what I want.
I seem to recall sitting on a session at TLCC Orlando 2 with Kevin Sheehan going over all the types of rules and how to use them but it could have been a T-Cast instead. My brain seems to mashing everything Tessi related into one slip stream.
Help me Tessiturians. You're my only hope.

Once again Kevin Sheehan and his sage advice save the day. This was exactly what I was trying to wrap my head around but just could not make it understand.
As always Mr. Sheehan, thank you. :)

Hi Christopher,
With a Buy One Get One Rule, you set up a ratio of seats, like for every 2 seats added at the Adult price, change 1 to the Child price. That means if you add 2 Adult seats, the rule will be triggered changing it to 1 Adult and 1 Child. If you add another Adult seat, nothing will change you’ll now have 2 Adults and 1 Child. If you add a 4th seat at Adult, the rule will change one more to Child so you will now have 2 Adult and 2 Child.
You might be able to accomplish the scenario you describe with four different BOGO rules with three different ratios: 5 change 4, 4 change 3, 3 change 2, and 2 change 1. Then In your rule set rank the rules 5 change 4 rule at the top and then move down with 2 change 1 ranked lowest.
You might also want to take a look at the Amy Catanzaro’s recipe in the Pricing Rules Recipes presentation from this year’s conference, where she describes how they are using a Multiple Price Type rule to assure that at least 1 adult ticket is in the cart before someone can receive a Youth price.
