Using the ticket status 'Hidden' to hide ticket types

The purpose of creating a hidden ticket type(s) allows you to do a backend sale for exclusive discounts that they don't want available to the public.

Another reason is that it gives you the ability to have items available in the box office but not online. For example, if you wanted to do a door cost and an online cost OR have a military/child/special price with verification. This would allow you to hide the door cost to online customers.
