The Product Configuration application Promotions|Limits page can be used to restrict the number of admissions that can be purchased with the promotion per performance, series, series group, week of the year (beginning Sunday) or in general (system). It is possible for customers to exceed these limits through the use of promotions and benefits. For more information and a detailed example, refer to Setting Promotion Limits.
