We at Portland Center Stage are taking a look at issuing comp tickets vouchers exclusively through Tessitura. We are currently issuing comps for charitable organizations, prospecting donors, media trade and promotions by using a voucher printed on letterhead. This makes it difficult to track, redeem and prevent misuse. We’ve have started using Tessitura to create vouchers for some comp requests, but before we completely transfer everything to Tessitura, I thought I would reach out to the Tessitura community to see if any of you are using Tessitura exclusively to issue comp vouchers. If so, I would love to learn how you do it and explore some of your best practices. No need to reinvent the wheel, right?
If you could take a moment to let me know if your organization issues all your comp vouchers through Tessitura (and how you do it) that would be most appreciated.
Thank you!

Here at Notre Dame, we have certain vouchers that are color-coded. My Asst. Manager then put those colors under a "Voucher" price type. That way, when a blue voucher came in, we would track that in Tessitura. We have the same design with different colors such as; blue=students, white=VIPS, pink=Donors, etc...It's a really great way to track who is using the vouchers and it can still be a report that is run in Tessitura. This was a very cheap and easy way to have comp vouchers! Hope this helped!
