As the organiser of an event, you possess the ability to design a range of ticket types to accommodate the anticipated attendees. Among the commonly chosen categories are Adult/Child, General Admission, and Early Bird.
You can watch our quick demo, or follow the steps below:
Currently, the available ticket types for your events are as follows:
Single Ticket: This option permits the purchase of one ticket per person, with the booking fee calculated per ticket.
Group Ticket: With a group ticket, a fixed price is designated for a group of tickets. The number of tickets issued depends on the group size. The booking fee is computed based on the total cost of the group ticket. If individual ticket prices within the group are $149.99 or less, a 40% deduction is applied to the total booking fee.
Open Group Ticket: An Open Group Ticket allows buyers to select the desired quantity of tickets within the specified minimum and maximum parameters. The booking fee for this ticket type is significantly reduced, calculated based on the total amount rather than per individual ticket within the group.
Single Reserved Seating: This ticket type is used for reserving specific seats on your seating plan. Only reserved seat ticket types can be utilized on a seating plan.
Group Reserved Seating: With this ticket type, purchasers can reserve a specific number of seats on your seating plan. For instance, a Group Reserved seating of 7 requires the purchaser to select 7 seats when buying tickets, with the ticket price reflecting the total cost of all tickets in the group.
Free Ticket: This option is suitable for free events requiring registration, with no booking fees applied.
Donation: The donation ticket type enables you to receive donations of any amount for your cause, with the booking fee calculated based on the donated amount.
Now that you are familiar with the available ticket types, here are the steps to add tickets for sale to your event:
1. Select the event you wish to create tickets for from the list of your events.
2. Navigate to the 'Edit Event' tab. (Note: If your event is already live, you'll be directed to the 'Event Summary' page, where you'll need to click on the 'Edit Event' link. If your event is still pending, you can skip this step.)
3. Scroll down to the tickets section where you can add new ticket types. You have two options:
