Currently, the resale platform allows to resale tickets not belonging to a season ticket at the tariff of the initial tariffticket. For tickets belonging to season tickets, you had the choice between keeping the initial tariff or forcing a given (generally occasional) tariff. A new mode, called seat release, provides more flexibility by allowing your customers to choose the tariff when buying tickets on the resale platform. |
...
- You can define if the reseller will get the original price, that is the price that he has paid during the purchase, or if he gets only the minimum between the original price and the price paid by the new buyer. The price paid by the new buyer may be less than the original price depending on the second parameter explained below.
- You can define if the new buyer is allowed to buy at a lower price than the original price.
- If you allow this, the resale platform will propose all the tariffs that match following (cumulative) conditions:
- The tariff is allowed on the resale platform according to the activity profile
- A price is defined for that tariff
- The buyer has the right to that tariff (concerns membership holder and season ticket holder tariffs).
- If you don't allow to buy at a lower price, the resale platform will only keep, among the tariffs meeting above conditions, the ones that give a current catalog price greater or equal to the original price.
- Note: if you have reduced the catalog price, it's possible that no tariff matches above condition. For example, an end customer has bought a ticket at full occasional tariff. He's paid 100€ for the ticket (not taking into account fees and overheads), and the catalog price has been reduced to 90€. Since no catalog price reaches the amount of 100€, this ticket can't be resold.
- If you allow this, the resale platform will propose all the tariffs that match following (cumulative) conditions:

Following parameters have been moved from point of sale to organisation level:
The reason is to ensure a consistent behaviour form for our customers managing multiple resale platforms. As a result, only the parameters that impacts the display on the resale platform but that don't have any impact on the process to put on resale have been kept at point of sale level (example: Display the original price) |
...
If the reseller gets the minimum between the initial price and the new purchase price, the display is adapted accordingly, as illustrated below:

Scenario
...
Status
...
Ticket Shop
...
Direct sale on Ticket Shop (no creation of options or reservations)
...
Shipment mode set-up per product is taken into account
Internet user may select multiple shipment modes if needed
The file detail mentions all the shipments with their respective cost but doesn’t mention which products belong to which shipment → not a big issue
...
Online exchange
...
OK (same as above)
...
Reservation on Ticket Shop
...
Shipment mode set-up per product is ignored → a reservation order may be created with a reference shipment which shipment mode is inconsistent with the shipment mode set-up per product
...
Ticket Shop sale converted to reservation:
- The order amount exceeds the max. allowed amount
- The internet user selects the prepayment method
...
High risk of technical error if the sales order has multiple shipments → currently, shipment mode per product isn’t compatible with order amount limit or prepayment
...
Pay online a reservation order created on-line
...
The reference shipment (which shipment mode may be inconsistent with the shipment mode set-up per product) is ignored, allowing the internet user to use the new feature
→ Only consequence:
- The sales order amount may be higher than the reservation order amount (because of shipment fees)
- May lead to some complains and support need

Reservation and sales
...
The behaviour is the same for reservation and sales orders: the shipment mode per product set-up is taken into account but the order may contain only one shipment. The operator needs to split the order if there is no shipment mode common to the whole order.
...
Payment of a reservation performed on BO
...
No problem since reservation and sales handle the shipments in the same way.
...
Hybrid scenarios
...
Payment of an online reservation at the Box Office
...
Because the online reservation doesn’t take into account the shipment mode set-up per product, the BO operator may need to split the order, i.e. create 2 sales orders for one reservation order.
Selecting a tariff on the resale platform
In the seat release mode, the list of tickets on resale will display the list of available tariffs for each available ticket:
If you don't allow the new purchase price to be lower than the original price, the list of available tariffs will depend on each individual ticket. The higher is the ticket initial price, the smaller is the list of available tariffs.
Getting started
This feature is directly available. As explained in above section, you will have to remove the tickets already on resale if you want to change the resale type of the resale platform
