A Ticket Assignment Policy (formally called the Comp Policy) allows organizations to create a certain set of rules that will allow you to assign additional tickets to a single ticket purchase. You can use this feature to build a BOGO promotion. Or, if you are selling Tables, it will allow you to bundle all of the seats at that table to be purchased under a single price. You can also use a ticket assignment policy to make sure a reserved parking space or box will come with certain number of general admission tickets.
1. Log into Administration.
2. Choose the Blue Sales Folder and then select the Template, Event, or Show for which you will be creating a ticket assignment policy.
3. In the Template/Event/Show, you will need to create your purchase price and the $0.00 value/ticket type to associate with the purchased ticket. Make sure to list this as a Restricted Price Level 4 Hidden Price as you will not sell this Comp type ticket individually.

We recommend that you test the policy to make sure that the assignments are working correctly prior to publishing them for the public on sale.
