We are getting ready to put our opening gala on sale and this is our first experience with web sales. I know it is possible to limit the MOS and/or price type based on a promo code, but is it possible to limit the visibility of the event entirely the same way?
In other words, if you log into the site with a promo code, you can see the event, but without the promo code it does not appear.
Thanks!
If you make the perf only available within a certain MOS that is accessible via web, and make that perf the ONLY thing available to that MOS, and have the promocode trigger a switch to that MOS, it should do what you describe. I am in this scenario assuming the event in question is a performance, not an elevated event.
Thanks Amanda! It is a performance. Sounds like I'm going to need to bone up a little on my Tessitura web knowledge. But its good to know what is possible.
We do this for our season on-sale. Donors and Subscribers get one week's access to our season, followed by a week for them and our Email Club, after which tickets go on sale to the general public. We use 5 modes of sale driven by constituency (two donor levels, subscribers) and attributes (email club) or lack thereof (our general web MOS).
The point I want to make is not that you attach or remove the MOS to provide access to the performance, but that the MOS _dates_ (in the performance production element) drive whether or not the customer has access. We can set up the performances with properly configured mode of sale dates, and then be secure that the correct performances will appear to the correct customers at the correct times.
