For me it is Juerd, point one and 2 are equally important to me, a win-win situation.

I do not see the major issue since we can almost double our ticket sales from just over 3000 to nearly 6000 to last event without running into issues.
And we will not sell 5000 coupons in a week to 5000 separate individuals in a week.

We will have both as coupons are new and sold in advance as discussed and vouchers are handed out to speakers, neighbours, people with a valid request for a discount ticket.
This is not complicated and is part of the shop anyway, was already discussed with Martin that works for Pretix.

Nice we agree on that lets make a timeline on the 19th.
