Hi everyone -
We are creating a series of small ensemble concerts that will have an in-person option, as well as a streaming option. I'm not exactly sure the best way to set this up.
The in-person ticket will be $40 and limited to 40 spots for social distancing and safety. The streaming will be $5, and we will be offering a pay what you can option as well. However, the performance will be recorded as well and then available for 45 days after that for online viewing (and for additional people to purchase within the 45 days). Any person who attends physically would also need to be able to access the recorded version as well.
Would it be better to setup two events, the in-person with subsequent streaming option and the streaming only option? OR would one event with just price types and zones separating the in-person/streaming options?
The last wrench in this equation is that we want to offer the $40 option to board members only at first (and only for the first concert in this series).
I might be overthinking this, but would love any advice or if anyone has dealt with a similar situation already. Thanks!
In another thread I recently posted my 2c worth:
This is something we’re going to be doing and I’ve just started the setup. The scenario is that for our upcoming student productions there’ll be 9 performances – 2 of which will be live streamed. We want people to be able to select either the “in theatre” or online offering as easily as possible, without having to navigate between different production seasons.
So, within the one prod season I built 11 performances – 9 in the Parade Theatre facility and 2 in the NIDA Online facility. In TNEW I updated the prod season in the Product editor to give the Performance Title Override a value of “Next to Normal - Parade Theatre” but updated the Online performances a value of “Next to Normal - Online Delivery”. This means that all performances are shown together but it’s clear which performances are which – along with their attendant capacity limitations as the in theatre performances sell out. Note that all tickets are comps and sold as general admission – everything is “hidden” behind a promo code and this is embedded into the link sent to people on our invitation list.
The Perf Title Override value also is displayed in the cart <phew> but not yet in our booking confirmation emails <sad face> so I will be adding entries in LTR_TNEW_DYN_EMAIL_CONTENT so that the person booking is very well informed as to whether or not they have booked the in theatre or online versions.
