How Can We Enable oConcert For Box Office Sales Only?

All Event Pages can be accessed by a Box Office Agent when the event is INACTIVE

Your osConcert will be installed on a server somewhere and will be accessible in a browser by all visitors but what if you don't want to sell to the general public but you want your Box Office Staff to continue to make reservations?


In Version 10.2

All Event Pages can be accessed by a Box Office Agent when the event is INACTIVE in Admin>Concert Details

Visitors to the page will be redirected to the home page.


Older versions

All Event Pages can be accessed by a Box Office Agent when the event is INACTIVE in Admin>Concert Details

First we need to enable a shop setting Admin>Quick Links>SP Settings>

I know it's not a good description for what we want but it does allow visitors to see the associated message in the same settings page

However, now visitors will see the message Sorry, the event is over......Box Office can see the whole page and continue to view it and make orders. The only challenge is that you will need to know the full URL address of the event because it will not be in any menu available.


Usually and Event URL is like this index.php?cPath=123


You can find the cPath of an event in your Admin>Products page  e.g ID= 13
