Great, thank you! That works. I would never have understood this from the multi-seat events documentation page (14). The words there make sense after seeing this example, but a simple example in the doc page would really help. My final example if you want to use it is:
14 total seats.
360 price for regular individual registration.
310 discount price for first five individual registrations.
310 discount price per person for two or more registering together.
In the RSVP fields it looks like:

Spaces: [14||5||14]
Price: [360||310||310]

In the template:
Regular individual registration – $360 each: #_SEATS{1}
First five discount individual registration – $310 each: #_SEATS{2}
Two or more registering together discount – $310 each: #_SEATS{3}

To clarify further – I am not using a fixed number of seats at each price, which I now understand the “multiseat” documentation describes. So I understand why that only reduces the number of seats in one group of seats.

I have a total number of seats for the event – 14 – and three prices/options for buying one or more of those 14 seats.
In this use case, each seat purchased at any price/option needs to reduce the total number of seats available in all three of the prices/options.

Is this possible? Or not supported?
Maybe it could be done with discounts? I read the docs and experimented some, but do not understand the discount mechanism well enough to know if that would work.

thanks,
John

Yes, and thank you, I understand that now – had to try it first to see what multi-seats actually means.

I do not want to get into custom coding for the code-based discount.
I think maybe I can use fixed discounts per seat, if I have just one base price.
I will try that and if I am not understanding something I’ll start a separate thread.
