Unlocking seats on the web by constituency

We're hoping to restrict certain seats and/or sections online to select constituencies. For instance, some seats would only be available (and visible) to Volunteers or VIP Donors.

Is their a way to accomplish this online by constituency without changing MOS?

We are using v. 12.5 and migrating to v.14 this summer.

thanks!

  • Are these seats a different price types or are they in a certain section of the seat map? I think it's definitely possible, looking at your seat map briefly with dev tools I can see you're using javascript to render your SYOS map.

    A bit of middleman code in between getting the seat data from Tessitura and the output via your seatConfig utilising a quick API check on the users constituency type could swap certain seats to blacked_out or held if they didn't match requirements or you could create a new config type called 'special' or similar that you could then use to up-sell your top level memberships.

    Unless these seats were in a particular part of the hall it is probably not a good idea to hide the seats from view completely as the seat map will stop being a true representation of the hall, which could confuse customers.

    We used this technique on our own seat map to hide the front 3 rows of a venue that was going to have a stage extension removing these seats from view but saving us having to recode an entire seat map for a few concerts.
