Option to Set Amount of available Ticket Types to Fundraising Event

It would be great if we could limit the amount of available ticket types to fundraising events. For example, at an upcoming special event we are selling Individual Tickets for $750, and Packs of 3 Tickets for $2,100. We want to limit the number of available Packs of 3, but can't do that unless we create two separate events and cap the capacities differently, or if a staff member can diligently monitor the ticket sales and mark the Pack of 3 option inactive once we've reached our limit. The first solution is cumbersome and the second not feasible. There should be a feature for this.

    To expand the initial request, allowing a single price type to be valid for multiple registrants would help this and other situations. Other users report problems with quantity discounts and member discounts working together, and if events have a whole-table-registration, where a party intends to sit together at an event... if one price-type supports 8 registrants, then the webform could gather the proper information while controlling the total inventory. That's the only way we could separate inventory of individual tickets from 3-packs or any-packs while also gathering complete registrant information

    I think the way I would approach this is to set up another price type.

    Your individual ticket is $750 with a limit of X.
    Your 3-pack ticket is $2100 with a limit of Y.

    The only downside to this is that you wouldn't be capturing registrant information for the two guests of the 3-pack. You would need to instruct the single registrant that the entire party must arrive together to check-in properly. And their guests attendance wouldn't be recorded properly. But the ticketing would work.
