Creating a Series Limit

Limits can be used to resrtict the number of admissions a customer can purchase for specific performances within a series. Setting a limit against a series pushes all of the limits down to the series' performances. It is possible for customers to exceed these limits through the use of promotions and benefits. For more information, refer to Setting Promotion Limits.
