Return Tickets, Keep Fees?

Hello all,

Regarding Fees, do other organisations refund booking fees if you need to refund tickets? In the past we have only refunded the money for the tickets, keeping the fees. Tessitura seems to want to return the Fees as well when returning tickets.

The only mention of this in the documenation was in the Troubleshooting section, which refers to a 'Problem' that I would like to have for all transactions:

Problem:  Tickets that triggered a fee were printed and then returned, but the fee amount is not being returned.

Possible Solution:  Fees are only returned automatically when unprinted reserved seats are released (causing the line item to be deleted).  To return a fee after a ticketed seat has been returned, override the fee from the fees tab.

The most desirable situation I assume is to have no Fees returned automatically, but allow the operator to override this to return a Fee in special cases.

Love to hear other org's practices.

Cheers,

Nicholas
