Tessitura

The Tessitura block lists an event's dates and connects to Tessitura so visitors can buy tickets. Each date gets its own booking button. Use it on an event page, a landing page, or anywhere you promote a show. Narrow it to a single date when you want only one call to book.

The button

• Title: an optional heading shown above the list.
• Booking Button: required. The call-to-action that takes the reader into booking: its label and an optional icon. The block uses the same label and icon on every date's button.

Which event and dates to book

By default, the block books the event the page belongs to. On any other page, point it at the event you want. Then narrow which dates it lists.

• Filter Season: optional. Narrow the event list to a single season before you pick.
• Event: select an event when you use this block outside an event page. On an event page you can leave this empty to use the current event.
• Show Instances: which dates appear in the list. All Instances (default) lists every Tessitura-bookable date of the event. Specific Instances lets you pick the exact dates.
• Select Instances: shown when Show Instances is set to Specific Instances. Pick the exact dates that should appear in the list.

Shared controls

Beyond the fields above, the block uses the standard block controls.

• Spacing and padding: adjust the margin and padding around the block.
• Layout controls: set the container width and overall placement.
• Colour scheme in blocks: set the color scheme for the block.
• Buttons and links: style the booking button and choose its icon.

Example

To promote a single performance on a campaign page, add a Tessitura block and set Event to the show. Set Show Instances to Specific Instances, then pick the one date in Select Instances, so the list shows only that performance's button. Give the Booking Button a clear label like Book now with a ticket icon. Add a short Title above it naming the show.
