Has anyone created an anytime ticket for general daily admission (Zoo, Garden, Aquarium, Museum) that NSCAN will admit on any date of the year (in v15)? Business case: a company wants to buy 100 tickets at a group discount and give to employees but they don't know which date they'll attend. My initial idea was sell them on last day of the fiscal year, print out with text saying must "redeem" in person only, then exchange ticket for actual attendance date. Is there a more elegant solution?
Hi Shelley, the MN Zoo has been doing Anytime tickets for years. I make a new Anytime ticket performance at the start of each fiscal year. Since the volume on these tickets is small when I receive a new order I copy and make a new performance for the date of the sale (or visit) and sell Anytime tickets with it's own unique ticket design with expiration at the end of the year (or fiscal year). When the customer arrives to redeem the admission is recorded as a comp admission with Anytime reason code. In the past we also used to exchange unused admissions and reissue them each year so make sure your ticket design include the ticket number to facilitate this in the future. In V16 when the we will have larger N-Scan capacity we may change the expiration date to the year from issue date.
