Price Optimization

Justin Griffiths

Hi All

 

Increasingly we are being asked to implement price optimization on our performances here at Sydney Opera House.

 

This is done by adding a price Increment price map to each pricetype  

 

Often the changes occur on all performances in a Season and in these cases we administer the updates by Season Manager. However, more frequently we are being asked to make these price changes on a performance level. In these cases we have been going into each performance and making the changes in Ticketing setup, performance by performance.

 

Does anyone know of a quicker and more time effective way to make these changes

 

Many Thanks

    Hi Nicole,

    I’ve done it both ways, but was told by very reliable source, not to change price maps. It would make some situations a lot easier, and reduce the numbers of maps, to change the map for our price increases. As a very reliable source yourself, any problems this will cause with reporting?

    Thanks.

    Have you ever considered just changing the prices on the price map from Facility Mgr instead of creating a new Price Map?  It really depends on how you are handling the changes, but that way would work as well.

    Not at all.  Sales are all in System Tables on the transaction level based upon the price that was active at the time of the sale.  Feel free to check it out in the Test environment, but we have not had issues.  Some things to think about would be, what GP do you want for this show and how you want Cost of Discount to be reflected, but we have done all kinds of things with price maps and have not had issues.
