Through Utilities, you can print large volumes of tickets, reprint tickets using the original delivery method used on the individual orders or reprint tickets using an alternate delivery method (if there was an issue with mailing customers their tickets, the tickets can be reprinted to be held at the box office for customers to pick up the day of the event).
Client printing works well for small- and medium-sized print jobs. You may experience issues printing larger jobs because of the larger file sizes. If you are experiencing issues we suggest breaking your print job into batches of 1,000 orders.
Before you start reprinting tickets, make sure you set a default cancel reason. You can also set a default for specific groups using the Groups|Attributes page.
