Consigment Tickets, Hard Ticket Prints and Ticket Proofs

Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4

For several reasons, our organization frequently needs to print tickets without payment. After looking through the documentation and the knowledgebase I see that this is not a possibility with Tessitura. We are wondering how other organizations currently handle the following situations:

1)       Consignment tickets: We would like to avoid having them report as paid tickets. In many cases, we never receive payment for these tickets.

2)       Hard Ticket Prints: Our box office allows small, community renters the option of having all of the available tickets for their event to be printed and they handle the ticket sales through their own organization. In these cases we never see payment for these tickets in the ticketing system.

3)       Ticket Proofs: After an event is built we print a ticket for the promoter to approve before tickets go on sale. We would like to do this from the event itself and not through the ticket design proof to ensure they are approving correct spelling and prices according to the performance build. If possible, we would prefer to not have the additional step of assigning payment and then refunding.

Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

  • I apologize if I missed exactly what you are attempting to accomplish :)
    You mentioned wanting to avoid refunding - what about setting up a unique price map with $0.00 amounts that is mapped to a new price type(s) named TEST PRINT (or Consignment, Hard Ticket, etc...)

    Then, when printing the ticket, you can just select that price type, the due_amt will = $0.00 and you can 'pay' with cash. Would that work for you?

    You could then also report on the number of tickets used in this manner.

     Good luck!
