Valid Plays Tab

Valid Plays Tab

The Valid Plays tab allows you to indicate which events the membership is able to be redeemed for. You can restrict the use of the membership to specific events simply by adding them here. An unrestricted membership would have no events listed.

In addition, there is an option to allow over-riding the event settings when each individual pass/GC is sold. If checked, then the events in the pass/gc Valid Events list takes precedence.

Parts of the Valid Plays tab


Allow Setting Valid Plays Normally, this list indicates which events that any patron holding a valid instance of this pass is able to use it for -or- the list is bank so that the pass can be used for any events.

However, if you Allow Setting Valid Plays on each Pass/GC, it means that at the time when a pass/gc is sold to a patron, you can over-ride the events in the list and specify a subset of the above (or completely different set) as per the rules below

When the flag is enabled:

  1. If you have events in this list, then the box office can only pick from items in this list - in other words the pass must be a subset of this list. Examples:
    • You might use this for scholarship passes. You can indicate in the pass type which items the scholarship can be for -- and then then attached to a patron, limit it to one of the events.
    • For actor passes, you can set which event they can come to -- and restrict it to the event they are working on - or some other events, that may exclude a big show.
  2. If you have no events in this list, then the box office can pick from any event. This is useful for limiting free passes to one event or scholarships to be redeemed for a certain class or range of classes
