Template: Event Tickets - Various Prices [No Base Price w/Pricing in Options & Choices]
- Review: Limit Per Student
- Review: Limit Quantity
What is the Best Practice Setup?
- Limit Per Student default is changed to four (4) (> 1) ticket purchases per student
- Limit Per Student change allows for multiple purchases, up to maximum of 4 per student.
The Option Minimum and Maximum Choices default remains as default of 1:1
When Limit Per Student is changed allowing for a specific number of purchases, and Minimum & Maximum Choices default remains unchanged, it is helpful to include How to Purchase instructions in the item or option description, i.e.,
“Please make your first ticket selection and quantity, add to cart. Make a second ticket selection and quantity, add to cart. Repeat until all ticket and quantity selections are made”.
- Limit Quantity default is changed to 250
- The price of ticket can be in the financials section if they are all the same price or can be entered with each choice if the pricing varies. The example has a base cost of $10 per ticket and adult tickets are an extra $2 per adult ticket purchase.
CALCULATION INFORMATION
Note: The calculation of sold tickets will work correctly with the above Limit Per Student setup, combined with the Minimum/Maximum default of 1:1. This will provide radio (circle) buttons beside the ticket types.
Purchases will deduct from the set maximum Limit Quantity of 250.
