Exchanges online

We have recently launched a new website and are using TNEW. Is there anyone out there doing exchanges online? How are you doing this and do patrons provide proof of destroyed ticket or do they still need to post them back?

  • Our on line exchange process is a bit complicated.

     

    • Patrons can exchange their tickets on line into the same production only.
    • If their exchange constitutes a refund, we do NOT give the patron a refund.  We put those funds onto their account to be used for that same production (they can buy additional tickets to that same production with it). We have several modes of sale set up for this purpose as well as other mechanisms in place through our web developers.
    • If there is money due to us we, of course, collect payment.
    • We do not ask for the original tickets to be destroyed because we have different methods of ticket delivery on different types of ticket media. Since we have scanners it is understood that the old tickets won't scan, but the new ones will, so the patrons MUST bring us the correct ticket media for us to scan and let them in.
    • Our Subscriber exchange policy is that they may do a free exchange no later than 24 hours prior to performance. Once the patron is within 24 hours of their performance they can either donate the tickets back for a tax credit, or they may pay an additional fee at the window or over the phones to make the exchange. If a refund is required due to a new lower ticket price those funds are not applied toward the exchange fee.

    Hmmm... That's all off the top of my head. I hope that helps?  Feel free to contact me privately if you'd like more information.
