Reprice tickets after a pass/gift certificate has been used to pay for the ticket.
After a pass is used, changing the price of a ticket that used the pass means that a the record of where the pass was used will be lost on the ticket (its still in the transactions). It may appear that there are less redemptions from the ticket perspective than on the pass itself. Turning this setting off prevents indiscriminate pass refunding. |
