Ticket limits?

Hi all,

Today's question is about ticket limits.  Can you tell me if there is a way to enforce ticket limits - either by line item, order or constituent?  The only place I can think of that asks for a limit is in an offer, but are there others?  I think I know that we need custom code to make this work on the website, but can limits be enforced through the application?

Thanks in advance for your wisdom.

  • The v10 release now enforces ticket limits through the Web API as well:

    The ticket limits functionality that was added to the Tessitura client application in v9.0 has now been added to the web API.  Methods that reserve seats, change mode of sale or change price type will now return an error if the change would violate one of the ticket limit rules set up in Offers.  (Network 2009 Enhancement #3696)

    Hi Lesley,

     

    According to the version 9 release notes, “the web API code does not enforce this limit automatically.”  I tested and found that with everything set up as you described, the limits are enforced through the application, but not on the web.  If your issue is with web orders, I think you will need to contact your web developers.

    Hi Lesley,

     

    I don’t know if you received an answer about this or not, but the ticket limits are enforced at the time of seating.  Unseated orders can be created and saved with quantities that would violate the limit.

    Hi Kevin,

     

    That's what I thought.  So, what am I not doing right??

     

    I set up an offer, attach it to the performance and add it to the TR_WEB_SOURCE_NO table with all of the appropriate MOSs.  If I enter the source code before processing anything else on the order, and then add a lineitem, it defaults to the correct pricetype for the offer (which implies to me that the offer is working).  However, if the limit for the offer is 4, I can still purchase 6 or more tickets.  I did check the Enforce_Seat_Limit table, and it is set to yes.  What have I missed?

    Hi Lesley,

     

    The only way to enforce ticket limits in the application is through offers.  So if an offer is on the MOS and Price Type and a ticket limit set your users won’t be able to reserve more tickets per line item.  To use this functionality you must also make a change to the T_DEFAULTS table by adding an entry of ENFORCE_SEAT_LIMIT_FOR_ORDERS with the value set to Yes.

  • In the meantime, the limit value configured on the offer is returned via the API - just not enforced, so you could create front end code to limit the user entry based on the limit value returned.
