Ordering Beverages with Tickets?

We tried this a couple of years ago.  We offered pre-paid beverage tickets where one ticket was redeemable for bottled water and soft drinks and two tickets for house beer and wine (like the carnival midway J).  As an incentive, we discounted them a small amount and promised extra “speed” stations available to avoid waiting in a long concession/bar line.  The reception was so-so but I know in the future we may try to re-invent it with a different marketing push.  Currently we only offer it through group sales as a “value added” option to corporate and tour groups.

We are in the process of implementing TNEW and NSCAN and hope that we will soon be able to include a Pre-order Beverage option online. Do we create a season for 'beverages' that mirrors our performance season or is there a better way?  Do you require patrons to bring a pre-paid drink voucher on a given night, or once purchased, can they bring them to any show? I have so many questions.  Any advice/suggestions to how best to set this up? Many thanks!
