Ticket Ordering Question

texte = Hi, everyone - My customer sells event tickets for their venue. Currently, we display the event information, and based on the "on sale date" of the tickets for that event, we display an "Order" link. So my current code looks like this: [if {[onsaledate]}<{[math date]{[date]}+{00/01/0000}[/math]] [then] Here's the ordering link (if several other hideifs and showifs for various exceptions are met) [/then] [else] Single tickets will be available online beginning [onsaledate] [/else] [/if] This works great. However, because there are places other than the website at which tickets can be ordered, the client has recently requested that we add an "on sale TIME" field. This way, people hitting the website at midnight can't get a jump on everyone else, who has to wait until, say, 10 AM, to order at the box office or other outlet. I can't figure out the logic on this. If I were to add a [hideif [time]<[onsaletime]] exception, then it would run that EVERY DAY, between midnight and 10 AM. I just really need it to disallow ticket sales between midnight and 10 am ONLY the first day the tickets go on sale. After that, they should be available 24 hours a day. I'm not very familiar with the [format days_to_date] device, and I'm not really sure that's even what needs to be used. Does someone have an idea (or a code snippet) to address this concern that they could share with me?
