Limit number of attendees per price level

Hi guys I have an event that has three different seating levels: Front Row, General, and Standing Room. I know I can create the different ticket costs, but I don’t see a way to limit the sale of those tickets by level. That is, I have 24 Front Row tickets, 76 General tickets, and 20 standing room tickets, which makes my total ticket sales potentially 120 tickets, but I can’t sell more than 24 front row tickets. Obviously, I don’t want to set up three different events, each with it’s own ticket limit; the bookkeeping trying to integrate the attendee lists would be nuts. This seems like a pretty basic function for a ticketing system, so I bet I’m just missing how to set it up.

Hello,

Right now there isnt a functionality to limit purchases by ticket option, just via the event as a whole.

You could use the Seating Chart add on, as that will limit them as the user can only select a seat that is a available.

Or as you mention, multiple events, but yes you are right in that it becomes more of an admin issue.

I gotta’ say, that’s a big lose. Many events have multiple levels of ticketing (for whatever reasons) and differing quantities for those different levels. I’d put this one at the top of your “to do” list.

You guys should check out http://www.BrownPaperTickets.com for functionality. They’re not perfect by any means, but they have a lot of good basic and advanced features that an event producer needs.

Hi there,

This is a feature that is in the plans to be included in a future release. It’s not something that will make it into the 4.0 release, but I’ll add your above comments to the ticket so the dev team is aware of your request.
