Patron Ticket Info


This is the portion of the patron window that lets the user examine all of a patron’s ticket purchases. The user can see a listing of all the tickets the patron bought. All of the important ticket information is detailed in this list as well. The user can see codes that are associated with the event, the number of tickets that the patron has for the event, the seat number(s), and the date of the event. The price and promotion codes that the ticket(s) were sold for are also shown.

  3. Click the Ticket Display Drop Down Box

    The ticket drop down box is the drop down box that says "All Tickets". Click the down arrow to open it. Select "Printed" from list. Now only tickets that have been printed will appear in the display area. There are however no printed tickets, therefore no tickets will show in the display area. Change the display back to "All Tickets". The tickets will reappear in the display area.

    Selecting a different condition from the ticket display drop down box or the year display drop down box will change the criteria for the tickets that are to be displayed in the ticket information portion of the patron window.

  4. Click the Years Drop Down Box

    The years drop down box is the drop down box that says "Years". Click the down arrow to open it. Select "1997" from list. Now only tickets that have a play code or a series date of 1997 will appear in the display area. However, there are no tickets that meet that criteria. Therefore no tickets will appear in the display area. Change the years drop down box back to "All Years". The tickets will reappear in the display window.

    Beside the two drop down boxes is a summary which notes how many tickets are currently in the display area and how much they are worth.

    Beside the summary are more buttons. The buy button has already been described. Some but not all of the other buttons will be discussed later on in the tutorial.
