Adjust ticket quantity when ticket added to cart?

It looks like the available ticket stock is not changed until someone completes registration and payment. Is that correct?

How do I stop a situation where there is 1 ticket left and two customers simultaneously add it to their cart and then check out? Is there a way to make adding a ticket to the cart decrease the number of tickets remaining? And then return the ticket to available stock if the purchase isn’t completed within a certain window of time?

Returning the ticket is less vital than decreasing the available tickets when one is added to the cart. I am worried about over-selling a venue.

I just created a datetime with a limit of 1, and added a ticket that had a limit of 1. I was able to have two different sessions open in incognito windows, and each added a ticket to the cart and checked out successfully. I approved both transactions in the backend and it let me oversell the event.

The Datetime has a limit of 1 and shows 2 tickets sold. This seems like a pretty major bug.

This is great news. I’ll keep an eye on this.

Do announcements with a list of bug fixes get posted when a release goes out?
