Draw down bundles allow you to sell season tickets before you actually know all of the details about your season. You might not know the exact shows in you series, or maybe the league has yet to release the schedule. Maybe you do not know how the individual event pricing will break down. Using draw down bundles, you can sell your season tickets before you have any of that information.
The prerequisites for creating a draw down bundle are the same for creating a regular bundle with the following exceptions:
•A dummy event must be created for each applicable venue. The dummy events will be used to hold the renewal seats for customers.
•A price chart must be created containing the full value of the bundle in each of the prize zones.
When events are added to the bundle, the value of each event will be subtracted from the value of the price chart.

Warning If you are planning on renewing a bundle using the miscellaneous item quantity and/or the gift value from the source order, the miscellaneous item and gift should be added to the order outside of the bundle. |
