Non performance sales

Hi Martin,

We have recently started using fees for merchandise and it’s working well so far, plus it means that we don’t have a load of ‘fake’ performances which I’m against. It does mean that you need to do some custom reporting, an inventory control is a bit of a nightmare (but that’s never really been a concern here).

I will be in Orlando too if you want to have a chat about it.

Howdy folks,

I've moved from a Tessitura based organisation to one that is planning the implementation (Feb 2012).

We have a lot of items that we sell that are not performance based (drink vouchers, program vouchers, t-shirst, etc) and I was wondering how other people deal with these.  In a previous role, we used general admission (and large capacity) performance sales plans - our logic (rightly or wrongly) was that it made web sales easier.

For our installation, I'm leaning more towards using a fee for these sorts of sales.  Can anyone with (obviously) more experience than me tell me what they use and the pros and cons of their choice?

See y'all in Orlando!  And thanks in advance for your insights.
