Housekeeping

  1. Check you have enough availability
  2. Check that your sales figures are as you expect i.e., are you sold out but sold figure is lower than expected? Look through the contingents on hold and reservations, can any of these be released?
  3. Review the whole configuration of the Access control and check with the Support menu
  4. Test the Access control the same day of the event
