Manual Ticket Counts

 

0:01 Hi everyone, we have a new feature to show off today called Manual Ticket Counts, and this is an API feature. 0:11 So you can see that we have a test event here, um, Fleet Foxes is who we're using for the artist, and we've created, created an offer for Fleet Foxes, and let's say that, um, we're not using open date ticketing, we're using an external provider for this event, uh, however we want to track, um, everything 0:35 through open date, uh, so we need a way to get the ticket, ticket data. into open date. So this can be done with the API, um, I'm going to switch over to Postman, uh, this is something that your development team would be familiar with, uh, but basically we have some new endpoints to manage what we're 0:56 calling manual ticket counts, and in this case you can see that I have copied the event ID, um, so I have this event ID right here, uh, I'm saying that I have general admission tickets that I'm selling in my external ticketing platform, the price is $50 and I've I've sold 144 of them, and when I send 1:20 this out. API request, I can switch back over to OpenDate, and now, uh, OpenDate is showing these sales as external, externally ticketed, um, sales. 1:34 So our widget here updates. You can see that the project is profit and loss statement updates. We're now estimating you need 900 tickets to break even based on your expenses. 1:48 Um, you can click into the P&L and see your sales data. And And you can also click into the settlement and it's going to use that sales link. 2:00 data to calculate the right settlement for the artist. So in a real world example, you would first create that manual, that manual ticket count entry and then very likely what your development team would do is to save this ID. 2:20 Uhm, and then update, update this later as your external ticketing provider sells more tickets. So in this case, uhm, I will update manual ticket count 8. 2:36 Use the same event ID, general admission. We said the date. The price was $50, uhm, and then at the time we created it, we had sold 144 tickets. 2:49 Let's say now we've sold 458. So I'll send this request. And now we've sold. Sold 458 and the, all the, all the information is updated in the, in OpenDate. 3:08 So as your external ticketing provider continues to sell tickets, you would continue to send these requests and update OpenDate so it has the most recent data. 3:19 This is part of our API. Uhm, if, if this is something that you need, just reach out to us and we'll help you get it set up. 3:28 Thanks.
