Hi all,
I have been asked to start looking at how to build a Facility for an event where most of the tickets will be sold on a general admission basis, but we have some booths which we want to sell as a set of 8 tickets.
Basically we want to force people to buy all the seats in the booth so there are not multiple parties sharing. We already sell boxes this way, but only on the phone or counter. We want to be able to sell these online.
Have had a look at some of the forum posts and think this must be something that comes up for a few venues. Does anyone have any ideas, forum posts or TLCC sessions they can direct me to?
Any help would be really appreciated!
Thanks, Donald

Hi Donald!
Have you considered selling the booths at one set price regardless of how many people are sitting at it? Essentially have one seat available for purchase in each booth, but have it priced for the max of 8, and make it clear that you are reserving the entire booth when that happens? You could then make those sections hold at box office only to ensure that you have a ticket for each person attending at a comped price type or something like that.
Does that make sense?
