PE: Move Audience

The Move Audience feature is pretty cool. Butt. It has one potentially dangerouse flaw: it keeps NO record of which seats you moved. It does keep an event-level log, listing how many seats were moved per event.

Another draw-back - if you do accounting on events using transaction-date-range as a criteria, move audience will move money from one event to another, effecting the report for past transaction date ranges. This goes against the principles of any good accounting system. Just do not use this for moving tickets between events and you'll be fine.

Ideally, the ticket records would reflect the movement. (insert a status 9, change the old to status 8, and pull the new status 1 ticket)

As of version 3.3.10, there is a log in the PE database of where the seats went. The table name is MoveAudienceSeatsLog . The data is not yet accessable through PE administration, but at least the data is there.
