The Seats|Quick Sale is useful when you need to sell a maximum number of tickets in a minimal amount of time while collecting minimal customer information. For example, ticket window sellers can use the Seats|Quick Sale page to sell tickets on the night of a performance. This page will search for seats using a similar search to Best Available and then enable you to complete the order and collect payment using a single page.

Hint If limits are set against a particular role, all roles will be required to add a customer to their orders so that the purchases can be tracked and then the limits can enforced when appropriate. If you want to use Quicks Sales for a particular on-sale the limits should be temporarily removed. For more information refer to Setting Series Limits, Setting Performance Limits, Setting Promotion Limits and Setting Price Type Limits.

When using the Quick Sale page, the order summary is displayed on the same page and contains the minimum details required to complete the order. These details include the delivery method, payment information and, if required, any marketing data fields. Only one payment can be added to the order from this page. If you want to specify additional information or add additional items to the order, you can open the Order|Summary page to display the full order details.

Information You can only purchase seats for a single performance using quick sales and you can only add a single payment to the order.
