Advance Group Bookings

Hi Michelle

We reserve tickets for group bookers and set a payment date. As an example we have our Christmas 2017 show that went on sale 23^rd November 2016 and we set the payment date to 18^th September 2017. We used the Hold Until section on the order screen. This then is set up to send an automated reminder a week before reminding the customer of the date and also on their invoices that we send. We also have reports that we can pull to find these reservations. Also we use the groups mode of sale.

Hope this helps

Diolch/Thanks

CSIs are also very useful! We use them to track all contact with the group. I have Activity types for Group prospect, Payment Ready, Change that way I can run the CSI Tracking Report and see where we stand at a quick glance. We set reminders for payment deadlines too.

Hi Michelle,

We use a group mode as well. It is very useful!

We set a deadline for groups on when we can make changes by and take payment through Tessitura (Credit Card, Chq or Cash if in person).

As Shelley mentioned, once payment is received we are able to print tickets (Tessi won’t let you print otherwise). So we usually have the tickets ready for patrons upon their arrival.

You will always occasionally have last minute changes, but this has worked for us and our groups.

We use a Group Mode of Sale. It’s set up to allow seated, unpaid orders. Once it’s paid in full we can print tickets.
