1. Definition and types
In SecuTix a Season Ticket is as "Composed product".
It is defined as a contract between the organization an its customers, which offers seats for a purchase at reduced rates in return for a commitment to attend a certain number of events (all, or a subset).
Button 
allows to create a new season: according to your license, there are 3 types:
NB: once chosen, the price type cannot be modified
♦ Calculated price
The customer can buy a seat of tickets within a single season: the season ticket defines the conditions on the number of the tickets (globally or per topic).
The subscriber gets reduced prices compared to event tickets bought separately: the overall price of the season ticket is directly defined by the total number of tickets bought.
♦ Predefined/Fixed-price
For a predefined amount, the purchases has the right to choose at most N performances.
The customers pay upfront one overall price, which entitles them to a fixed number of seats that they can choose for themselves.
Subscribers can choose seats after purchasing the season ticket, without exceeding the permitted number of seats.
