How to Create a Raffle Event

Creating a raffle event with Sticky Tickets is simple and cost-effective. Whether you're running a charity fundraiser, school raffle, community giveaway, or promotional campaign, you can quickly set up your raffle event and start selling tickets online.

To help reduce booking fees for purchasers, we recommend using Group Tickets for raffle sales wherever possible.

STEPS IN CREATING A RAFFLE EVENT

1. Login to your account. From the My Events page:

• Click the Create A New Event button

• Enter your event name

• Click the Create Your Event button

Important: Sections highlighted in orange are required before your event can go live.

2. In the Date Section, enter the raffle draw date

• Set the start and end date/time for ticket sales

• Select the correct timezone

This can also be the official raffle draw date.

3. In the Location Section:

• Enter the venue name

• Add the event address

4. Add the Organiser Details. This section is automatically pre-filled using your organiser account details. You may change these details per event, but keep in mind that this is the contact information purchasers will use for event enquiries.

5. In the Refund Policy Section, specify:

• refund timeframes

• refund conditions

• additional refund information if required

Having a clear refund policy helps manage purchaser expectations and refund requests.

Please take note of Consumer Rights:

Under Australian Consumer Law, ticket purchasers may still be entitled to a refund in circumstances where consumer guarantees apply.

6. Add Your Event Description. Use this section to include:

• Raffle details

• Prizes and inclusions

• Draw information

• Terms and conditions

• Event images or flyers. You can upload images in JPEG or PNG format to help promote your event.

7. Create Your Raffle Tickets. You can either use:

• Single Tickets

• Group Tickets (recommended)

Option 1: Single Raffle Tickets

Single Tickets are suitable for standard raffle sales.

Example:

1 raffle ticket = $5; however, booking fees are calculated individually for each ticket purchase

A $5 raffle ticket may incur approximately $1 booking fee per ticket.

Option 2: Group Tickets (Recommended)

Group Tickets bundle multiple raffle tickets into one purchase, helping reduce booking fees for purchasers.

Example:

Instead of selling 10 individual raffle tickets at $5 each, you can create, 10 raffle tickets for $50 using a Group Ticket

Benefits:

• Purchasers still receive 10 individual raffle tickets

• Booking fees are significantly reduced

• Purchasers save money on fees

To set this up in the Ticketing Section:

Select Group Ticket as the ticket type, then enter the ticket details necessary

• Ticket Name (example: Raffle Ticket / 10x Raffle Tickets / 20x Raffle Tickets)

• Group Size: Defines how many raffle tickets are issued per purchase.

  • Group size of 10 = purchaser receives 10 raffle tickets

• Group Price: The total bundle price.

  • Example: 10 raffle tickets × $5 = $50 group price

• Ticket Capacity: Set the total number of raffle tickets available.

• 8. Make Your Event Live by clicking the Make Event Live button:

  • Go Live Now, or

  • Schedule for Later

• Your raffle event will then become available online for purchasers.
