Configuring Print-at-Home Tickets

This describes how to set up the Print-at-Home functionality. This document covers the steps for initial set-up of the system so that electronic tickets can be delivered via email either by a customer services representative (e.g. Box Office, Phone Sales) or when the customer buys tickets online and opts to have the tickets delivered via email.

The Print-at-Home functionality in AudienceView is very flexible. It allows the launching of simple or elaborate Electronic Tickets using fixed or dynamic text and images that can be printed using specific conditions.

  1. Acrobat Reader must be installed.
    To download Acrobat Reader, visit http://get.adobe.com/reader/.
