Creative Comp Ticket Solution Needed

Hello Tess World!

Based upon other community threads, there seems to still be a question about how to exactly redeem actor/staff/team comp tickets via a website, without it becoming a customized project. 

Here's our dilemma:

We produce children's shows, where we offer the parental units two comp tickets to see their child actors.  Previously, we had handed out paperwork to fill out for the comps with payment options for additional tickets.  This is no longer working effectively.  

So the thought becomes can we give the parental units a "tokenized" promo code to access their two comps for a children's show of their choosing? Once the tokenized promo has been used, it is no longer vaild... 

Allocations are out due to the fact that we have multiple performances of the same show, and don't want to reserve a block of seats per show based upon the parental units "maybe" filling that allocation. We could lose sales...

"Normal" promo codes are out because they can be passed from parents to grandparents to friends to... you get the idea... 

Bottom line is:  is there a way to offer comp tickets to actors (or actors' parental units in this case) where they can redeem their tickets online, and once redeemed, the ability to go back in and order more comps is denied?  Or is this perhaps an enhancement request?  

Anyone out there have a creative solution?  I'd love to hear it! Thank you very much!

  • Hey Beth,

    I am about to implement something similar for staff ticketing for FY18 and it may work for your situation as well.

    Pricing Rules used with an offer. The Pricing Rule can be set to fire based on constituent criteria and the offer can handle the ticket limit. 

    It may just be crazy enough to work.
