Hi all,


I am looking for resources that will help with event set up; particularly with limitation for participant-unit sales.


For example, when setting up an event that includes sale of tickets to a broadway show, there are a limited number of seats. We have 22 Premium seats available at $180.00 each and 28 General seats available at $140 each. I can set the online registration maximum to 50, but this will not prevent the potential over-sale of Premium units. To combat this, we limit online registration to just 22 and open sales back up when necessary.


How does your agency limit parcitipants within OLX/the event module? Is there a better way to facilitate this type of event?


Thank you for reading!

    Hi Erin!


    Thanks for reaching out to the Community- I'm hopeful that someone will chime in with some real-life examples to help you think through your upcoming event. My name is Tiffany Getch and I am the Onboarding and Adoption Program Manager for Online Express. I did want to offer a resource for you! Tomorrow we will be delivering our Getting Started in Online Express webinar 'Planning Events in Online Express'. While I'm not sure that we will cover your specific question below, we do cover some information as it relates to RE/OLX in the set up process for events.


    If you'd be interested in attending to see what we cover, you are welcome to register here. Also, we provide a recording and a copy of the slides, so if you can't attend live but would still like the materials, we have our Resource page available as well!


    Hopefully we'll see you in our session tomorrow- and good luck with your upcoming event!
