##Method: Insert/Update Inventory

This method takes in a listing of your TicketBlocks and imports them into our system. If event ids are provided, it will quickly find the appropriate events and save the blocks to them. Otherwise, the system will attempt to heuristically match TicketBlocks to their corresponding event in our system. This is not a differencing system, so new blocks will be added and existing blocks will be updated. If you delete a block on your side, please make sure to call the Delete Inventory method to remove it from our system so we don't sell it. Merely excluding it from a future import will not remove it from our system.
