Groupon (or similar) vouchers

Is it possible to buy an 'open' voucher, so that I can buy one for a friend for her to buy whatever she likes?

    There are fixed price vouchers redeemable against any one of a range of options. There are so many restrictions though when it comes time to book that if you are buying this for someone with a job the odds are quite high that they would not be able to use any voucher you got them. If you know their tastes and their timetable it is far better you buy something for a specific event at a stated time and place. This applies especially to discounted vouchers, yet if you buy a full price voucher then my experience is that you are probably paying over the odds

    I've just bought a voucher from Social Living for a show and now I'm having a bit of a panic because it's something I don't usually do. We have to take the token number (on mobile) to the box office to redeem. That's the part that worries me not having the tickets and seat numbers. How can they offer tickets so cheap too. Of course it being the weekend the contact center is closed:(
