Consignments and third party sales

Hi

We currently send allocations to third party agents such as Ticketmaster, however we do not print the tickets due to the "can't print tickets without payment" issue. We are starting to run into problems with this, such as incorrect area labelling at the agencies leading to confusion on the night, and uncertainty about unpaid tickets.

Does anyone print tickets to send to agents? If so, how do you deal with the fact that these will show as paid on sales reports? I assume people have reports that minus this value out? I am worried that the promoters who receive sales reports from us and the agencies will assume double the sales that have actually been made.

Thanks in advance for any advice
