Thanks, all. Let's say we're talking about 12 tickets, and let's say it's three days out from departure. It sounds like the group ticketing route would be the way to go then?

In that case, what would be the implications for pricing? Would we likely be able to get the current price (for a single ticket) applied for all 12 tickets? Or would something else happen?
