SecuTix already provides the possibility to define relative sales periods. For example, sales of a match may start 15 days before the match date. However, it may be necessary to define different sales periods for different matches, depending for example on the expected audience.
For example, a huge audience is expected for the 3rd match of the Women's Super League and you want to give priority to your membership holders. As a result, occasional contacts may only buy a ticket 10 days before the match. You can do this by setting-up a dedicated activity profile for that match:
Link this activity profile to the occasional tariffs and add a sales period. To do this, go to the new Sales periods menu (inside activity profile), uncheck the Always check-box and enter the sales period details:
Note: As before, activity profiles are cumulative. In other words, if a performance is mentioned in several activity profiles (either explicitly or because the event is mentioned without restrictions on performances), it will cumulate the exact sales possibilities (triplets sales periods x tariffs x seat categories) provided by each activity profile. As a result, you have to remove this match from other activity profiles mentioning the same competition.
Example: time dependent pricing
As of now, defining a time-dependent pricing scheme was quite complex in SecuTix because you had to define advantages. The improved activity profiles will significantly reduce the set-up work by allowing you to create dedicated tariffs and assign a sales period to them.
