Free admission for under 5's with paying adult

I'm wondering if other venues do the same as us - we offer free admission to the museum for under 5's, with a paying adult. At the moment we don't really have a way to control this online - theoretically, someone could add 5 "under 5" tickets to their basket and pay nothing. We would spot this on scan/entry, so it's not a huge issue, but I'm curious if anyone has a better solution. Pricing rules become tricky as we use our adult ticket price types in another pricing rule. 

Any suggestions or thoughts welcomed!

  • Hey Katie,

    We offer free admission for under 3's. We've actually got a custom ticketing website, so our in-house Developers have actually written some neat, adaptable code for our site that does a similar thing to a pricing rule. I.e saying no more than X amount of Personal Assistant/Under 3 tickets per Y group of tickets in the basket. They've also got some code as per Naomi's thought above about not releasing X ticket unless Y is detected in the basket.

    Just so we don't clog up pricing rules with this kind of stuff, and can leave it open for other things. One advantage to having a custom site I guess! We do also have ticket scanning as a final, last check for this before visitors enter our venue. 

    Do give me a shout if you have any questions about the logic of it all, in case you do have a custom website.

    Hope that helps,

    James
