It is also possible to set if the allocation should expire at a certain date and time by set Expires to Yes and then choosing the time. Click Save once all settings are set.

When the desired number of tickets has been selected, click Allocate in the lower right corner and apply settings and rules the same way as with allocations in numbered hall.
At the top just below the price zone field, there will now be a box for each allocation that has been added to the event. There is also a number in the same box which indicates how many tickets that are included in the allocation.

It is possible to create allocations in one event and then copy them to other events, to the configuration of the hall, or to create a new configuration based on the changes you have made.
Sell tickets from an allocation in special offer
It is possible to sell tickets from a specific allocation directly in a special offer. This makes it possible to e.g. offer a special group of customer selected seats or discounted single seats.
