I'm trying to set up a VIP add-on for a run of performances.
The performances are fixed seat, with 3 price zones, 300 seats.
The VIP add on is not tied to a specific zone, and is limited to 35 people per event.
So the desire is for people to only be able to add on the VIP experience IF they buy a ticket for the event.
They should only be able to buy the VIP experience that correlates to the day they are attending.
And they shouldn't be able to buy more VIP passes than they have tickets for that performance.
So I'm thinking a pricing rule that makes the VIP experience available as an add-on once a ticket has been purchased to X-event is the way to go.
Has anyone done anything like this? I've looked through the documentation, but figured I'd ask before diving in.
I agree with Neil about building a totally separate VIP performance. You could then potentially sell it as part of a Flex Package where the show performance itself would be a required performance within that package. That way you could at least guarantee they are buying a ticket to the matching show. You could use holds to make the VIP performance only have 35 available seats.
The only thing you wouldn't be able to do is the 1-1 rule (1 vip per 1 show ticket). That was the one drawback of this model when we used it for our VIP add ons for parties.
