Box Office Staff track
15 lessons, in order. Each one links to the help topic it teaches, a task to try on your own venue, and a three-question checkpoint.
- 1.Signing in as box office staff
Staff can log in, reach the box office dashboard, and understand what they can and can't access.
- 2.Looking up or creating a patron at the box office
Staff can find an existing patron, create a new one, or proceed as a guest — and understand the badges shown.
- 3.Selecting seats and pricing categories at the box office
Staff can pick reserved seats or GA quantities, assign pricing categories per seat, and see the running total.
- 4.Payment methods at the box office (card, cash, check)
Staff understand the available tender types, when each applies, and how to record a single-tender payment.
- 5.Completing a sale and what happens next
Staff understand the success state, what emails are sent, and how to find the order afterward.
- 6.Checking in guests with QR scanning (web browser)
Staff can open the web check-in page, scan a QR code, and handle common check-in results.
- 7.Exchanging a ticket to a different performance
Staff can exchange one or more tickets from one performance to another, compute the price difference, and settle the payment.
- 8.Refunding a ticket (box office staff view)
Staff understand what refunds they can process, the role limits, and when to escalate to a venue admin.
- 9.Holds that release themselves
Staff can place a named, timed hold for an artist or house need and let the unclaimed seats release automatically.
- 10.Preparing a door device for offline sales
A venue admin can hold a block of tickets on a door device before doors so it keeps selling cash tickets when the network drops.
- 11.Applying promo codes at the box office
Staff can enter and apply a discount code, understand why a code might be rejected, and see the discount reflected in the order.
- 12.Splitting payment across multiple tenders
Staff can handle a patron who wants to pay part cash and part card, or combine a gift certificate with cash.
- 13.Group sales: holds, deposits, and converting to tickets
Staff can create a group hold, record deposits, send an invoice, and convert the group to actual tickets when paid in full.
- 14.Group sales: deposits, reminders and release dates
Staff can set a balance-due date, a separate release date, and a deposit policy, then let the automatic reminders and release run on schedule (or trigger them manually).
- 15.Selling a gift certificate at the box office
Staff can sell a gift certificate by cash or card, issue staff credit, and look up a patron's balance.
