Jack,
Our system does NOT allow for the seats to be 'pulled' when sold. Actually, we have no presale capability, aside from same day advance. Our company decided to have 56 different pads on tickets printed up. Each time slot for each day has it's own pad. Each pad has the number of seats able to be sold in the theatre it will be in. The patron pre-purchases a ticket now an dredeems it at the box office on the date of performance.
The preselling has worked out rather well, but as NONE of my shows has sold out (not even close yet), I am left with little other option than to tell my cashiers how many tickets they can sell for a given show. It will be up to them to keep track of the number they sell versus the number that has been presold.
If the show(s) had sold out in advance, this wouldn't pose a problem, however, because they did not, we must chnage our seating caps on a per show basis based on how many advanced tickets were sold which is going to make it really interesting when we have folks buying tickets for a 7:00 show at noon when the box office opens.
Not a soul in our corporate office has mentioned the fiasco that is sure to occur at soem locations. I'm still trying to determine the best procedure for ensuring that the cashiers do not oversell any shows.
And the worst part? I'll be in Vegas when the film opens, so I have to count on my asst's to get his right. All extremities will be crossed in hopes they do.
