Creating New Events / Plays

Before you add an event / play into Theatre Manager, a general ledger account number must be created for the new event / play. Refer to General Ledger Accounts for more information.

In the Event / Play window, there are eight different account number fields in five different ticket types. The eight accounts are:

1. Sales
2. Exchange
3. Refund
4. Discount
5. Markup
6. Ticket Fee account 1
7. Ticket Fee account 2
8. Ticket Fee account 3

The five ticket types are:

1. Regular
2. Season
3. Other Type 1
4. Other Type 2
5. Internet

Depending on how your accounting system is setup:

• You may need to create only one G/L account for the entire event / play, or
• You may need a separate account for each of the account number fields in each of the five ticket type categories.

To start, you perform the following steps:

1. Open the Event / Play List Window.
