This technique is used when different types of tickets are issued for the same event. In step 1<\/a> the user can select the event, instead of the type of ticket. In step 2<\/a> the user can select how many of each type of ticket they wish to purchase. Each ticket shows as a seperate item on the review page<\/a>\u00a0and the invoice. Each type of ticket is stored as a seperate “event”, which is why the “events” must be combined to get the desired effect.<\/p>\n

Scenario<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

A movie theatre wants to issue adult tickets and student tickets.<\/p>\n

How It Works<\/b><\/p>\n

Events are combined when their ‘Matrix Column Heading’ and the ‘Event’s Matrix Display Name’ are identical.<\/p>\n

Steps to Combine the two ticket types:<\/b><\/p>\n
