osConcert Season Tickets Feature

Summary

These files will allow the store admin to create a ‘season’ or ‘multiple’ ticket which, when purchased, will permit a customer to go on and buy X number of tickets (where X is a pre-set number chosen by the admin).

The system operates by ticket quantities and not value – where tickets of different values are in the basket it will apply to the cheapest tickets first. If properly setup it will not apply to further season ticket purchases.

Admin>Products

1) (Create New Category) Create a new product – on the Type tab there is a new field ‘for Season Tickets’. You must enter the details here carefully – start with upper case SEASON then an underscore and then the number of tickets it should be valid for e.g.

SEASON_5 – five tickets


2) Then go to admin>payment>advanced>order_totals and install the season ticket module – if it is not installed then customers can still buy the tickets but will not be able to use them!

IMPORTANT – also go to the Admin > Payments page and install the free payments module ensuring that the zones are correctly setup – if neither of these are done then customers who fully cover an order with coupons cannot checkout.

Then, once they have added normal tickets to their basket they will be provided the option to use a season ticket on the payment page:

Once they have exercised the option there ...the confirmation page will reflect the financial results of their decision:

As previously stated the module will apply credit on the cheapest tickets first if there are varying prices and it is not possible to make further season ticket purchases using a season ticket. (If a $0.00 total results you may have to verify that the default payment module can handle a zero purchase – some may not).

Here is a look at the settings:
