Student Pricing - checking their ID

We only allow student pricing via walk up or phone with will call pickup and let the visitor know they will need to present photo ID at will call. Our box office staff know to ask for ID when the visitor arrives. If they do not have valid ID they have to pay the difference. Since everything we do is general admission this works great. Not sure how this would work for reserved seating.

Hi,

I was wondering how people got around the issue of student pricing on the web and checking IDs. Say, for instance, that you offered student prices on the web - how do you handle the need to see some form of ID?

I was thinking perhaps creating a CSI type so that when the order comes in using that price type, the box office operator knows to create a CSI and ask the purchaser to fax or email through their ID. 

But I was curious to see what other people did with this one.

 

Cheers,

 

Matt
