Events > Combine Events
|
This technique is used when different types of tickets are issued for the same event. In step 1 the user can select the event, instead of the type of ticket. In step 2 the user can select how many of each type of ticket they wish to purchase. Each ticket shows as a seperate item on the review page and the invoice. Each type of ticket is stored as a seperate "event", which is why the "events" must be combined to get the desired effect.
Scenario
A movie theatre wants to issue adult tickets and student tickets.
