To create pass types with benefits that apply to multiple event buckets, use Global Pass Rules to extend their reach.
1. After creating a pass and setting up its pass rules, open the Pass Rules page and scroll down to Global Rule under the Rule that you wish to make apply to other event buckets.
2. Select the box next to "Make this pass rule global (apply to other event buckets)."
3. In the "Target event buckets" dropdown, select the additional event bucket(s) in which you wish this pass bucket to work.
NOTE: A Global Pass Rule will not apply to the event bucket in which it was created unless that event bucket is selected in the "Target event buckets" dropdown list.
4. Click Save and select the Global Rule checkbox on all other Pass Rules in this Pass Bucket if you wish for each pass rule to apply to other event buckets.
When would I use Global Pass Rules?
Global rules are most useful for memberships.
NOTE: If you are interested in building your memberships in membership buckets, separate from your pass buckets so that you can see your membership sales and redemption patterns separate from your regular pass offerings, you might consider enabling the Membership Module.
Beyond memberships, Global pass rules can still be created for any pass type to allow that pass' benefits to apply to another event bucket.
Example: To encourage customers who had purchased a 2024 festival pass to purchase a 2025 festival pass, you might consider adding a global rule to the 2024 festival pass that gives passholders a 10% off discount for the purchase of a 2025 festival pass. This discount is limited to one discounted pass only. You can then create a mailing that targets 2024 festival passholders to let them know about this benefit.
