Deleting a Performance

If you chose not to put on a performance for a play, you can delete the performance. However, if you have sold tickets to the performance, you will be unable to delete it -- but you can make it effectively go away by hiding it.

Hiding a Performance

Normally you want to delete a performance completely (see next section), but if you cant, then:

  • Find the performance as per below and try delete it, as per the instructions below
  • if it won't delete, then target="_blank">double click the performance to edit it. Change:
    • The performance date to be the first day of the run
    • The performance code to be something like 'DONTUSE'
    • Set it so that it can't be on sale at the box office or online
    • for added safety, put an on-sale date in that is AFTER the date of the performance for both online and box office - that way if anybody ever changes the onsale flags, it will prevent the performance from showing up

Rules for Deleting a Performance:

You can only truly delete a performance if:

  • You have "Delete" user privileges the Play information under the data tab of Employee Setup.
  • The play must not be archived.
  • No tickets have been sold to the performance.
