Creating a new house map with PODS not seats

Forcing the purchase of the entire "pod" but still getting 4 tickets for scanning (assuming you are doing this) is the tricky part. Two possibilities - one requiring no technical work but manual effort and one with some tech work required but less manual effort. Option 1 - create the "pods" as single seats and sell the pod that way. Then, have the Box Office sell 4 seats into a different venue that would then send the tickets. This could be an exchange process or just a comp process, depending on how you want to handle it. I did something similar way back in the day for subscriptions where packages went on sale before the season or even the locations of performances were determined. So we sold the "package" to a GA venue, then when the season was finally determined and built out, exchanged the "package" sale into the appropriate Super Package for seating. It was a manual process, but did work. Option 2 - take advantage of the LP_VALIDATE_CART procedure to enforce the 4 seats rule This is the only way I can see doing it on the web. This is how we actually sell "packages" here at Bravo Vail. I have some code that requires the purchase of at least 3 performances to create a package. For a summer festival, this allows our customers to purchase different number of tickets for different shows and seat themselves at time of purchase, while still requiring they purchase at least 3 performances before they can check out. With a little creative code, you could do the same for enforcing purchase of all 4 seats in a pod. This won't work in the Tessitura client. There, your Box Office staff would have to enforce the rule themselves. But, on the web, this would work.
