TICKET TYPES
Begin by selecting the green “+Add Ticket Type” button. Complete the information requested in the pop-up.
TICKET NAME – Name your ticket type. Some examples include: general admission, VIP, senior, child, student/alumni, etc. Note: There is no limit to the amount of ticket types that can be created for an event.
TICKET PRICE – Set the price of your tickets for that ticket type. Service and credit card fees will be pulled from ticket payments, be sure to factor in service and credit card fees when setting the price of your tickets.
TICKET QTY – Add the maximum number of tickets that can be sold for this ticket type. The total event capacity will prevent any combination of ticket types from going over the available seating capacity.
OVERFLOW QTY – Waitlist must be enabled and an overflow quantity must be given to activate this feature. The set overflow quantity is the total amount of guests that will be allowed to go over the maximum amount of guest tickets. After joining the waitlist, the overflow will take roughly 5 minutes to trigger the move from the waitlist to the guest list, followed by a notification on the sign-up page that tickets are no longer available.
Example: Your event allows for 30 attendees tickets, 29 tickets have been sold. You have set your overflow quantity at 2 and have enabled a waitlist for the event. A family of three have signed up for the waitlist after being notified that only one ticket is available for the event. Within 5 minutes the overflow feature will trigger and automatically move the family of three onto the guest list, bringing the total number of attendees to 32 for the event. Since your overflow claimed the last ticket, tickets for the event would then display as sold out.
TICKET DESCRIPTION – Describe the ticket type in detail. What does the ticket include or not include compared to the other ticket types?
REGISTRATION START & END DATES AND TIMES – You control when your tickets become available and when registration will end. Set the days and times you wish to open and close ticket availability.
To complete and save your ticket type select the green “Save Ticket Type” button.
You are able to edit your ticket types and change ticket quantity and availability at any time before your event.
