# Ticket-section mapping and test card (English)

Use one card per event date or occurrence. This is a planning record, not a live capacity control. Use your ticket provider's approved test method; do not place a real buyer order solely to fill this card.

## Before editing

| Field | Record |
| --- | --- |
| Event / occurrence reference | |
| Inventory owner and approver | |
| Provider and event state (draft / published / registrations already received) | |
| Approved total sellable capacity and source record | |
| Reserved seating in scope? If yes, use the seat-map workflow | |
| Group setting: display heading, shared stock limit, both, or unknown | |

## Section and type map

Add rows as needed. A display heading and a stock pool may have different names or limits.

| Buyer-facing section | Ticket type | Admission area / date | Shared pool ID or independent | Approved pool limit | Optional type limit | Expected buyer visibility |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| | | | | | | |

| | | | | | | |

## Buyer and inventory test

Choose two types intended to draw from one pool (A and B), plus one type from a genuinely independent pool (C). Record the organizer-side quantity before and after each controlled test. If your provider has no safe test route, inspect its configuration and document the untested risk instead of making a real customer order.

| Check | Expected | Observed / reference | Pass / owner |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Buyer page: section order, names, member types, prices and descriptions | Matches approved map | | |
| Buyer page: hidden, closed or future type | Matches intended visibility | | |
| A: shared-pool type, before → after | Only intended shared pool changes | | |
| B: second shared-pool type, before → after | Same intended pool changes | | |
| C: independent-pool type, before → after | Shared pool stays unchanged | | |
| Overall sellable capacity | No unapproved increase | | |
| Public page immediately after publication | Matches approved buyer view | | |
