Altru Ideas

Further customization on E-Ticket Templates (possibly printed tickets as well)

Hello,

I was watching the "Creating Custom Ticket Templates in Altru" video not too long ago.  on 3:27, I saw the ticket merge fields for you to put on your customized template.  I am wondering if there are other merge field codes available to put into the template.  For example, the constituent name and possibly their membership ID number (if possible).

The reason why I am asking this is because I'm attempting to figure out a workaround to minimize or prevent scalping of tickets.  As I am aware, all online orders requires a person to register on our website before making a purchase.  As a measure to prevent scalping, we can send tickets that has the constituent's name on it.  When the member has the ticket, he/she must present it with their membership ID or driver's license.  Any extra tickets allowed to be bought in the membership can be given to the guest, •ÈÀas long•ÈÀ as he/she is with the member at the time of check in.

I am aware that Altru online sales is only able to limit discounted items to •ÈÀper transaction•ÈÀ instead of •ÈÀper account.•ÈÀ  Because of this, there may be some opportunists who may abuse the system by constantly getting discounted items per transaction and possibly create a profit from it.  Having a ticket unique per member may help discourage people from abusing the system for profit.  I believe several of us in our institution may find this to be a feasible workaround, granted we are able print the constituent's name and ID# on the ticket.

Is this possible?
