In this guide we will run through a basic process for finding a generic Private Theatre Rental (or PTR for short) showtime at a theatre and creating an order for that generic PTR.
Generic PTRs differ from movie specific PTRs in that they have a movieName value of just "Private Theatre Rental" rather than a movieName indicating a specific movie.
Generic PTRs also feature attributes with the codes: 'PRVTRENTAL', 'PRVTRNTALL' and 'SELCTMOVIE' which can be leveraged for PTR specific process flows.
Request showtimes for a theatre and date.
Note that showtime ticket prices are not final and are for display only.
Note the maximumIntendedAttendance on the showtime as you are required to specify intendendAttendance to purchase a PTR.
