Once you have clicked on the ‘Edit’ button, you will be taken to ‘Create new tickets and ticket types’ page.
This is the page where you create each ticket based on the type and pricing.
Note: The ‘Ticket type’ dashboard has a default ‘Ticket name’ already created. To create a ticket type, you can either begin with the existing default ticket (Example General Admission) and simply use the ‘Edit’ functionally to update the first ticket type or click on the ‘Add new’ button in the top right-hand side of the dashboard. In this guide, we will use the existing default ticket type and edit it to create the ticket type.
Click on the ‘Edit’ navigation in the ‘Actions’ toolbar in the ‘Example General Admission’ ticket type.
Once you have clicked on the ‘Edit’ navigation, you will be taken to the ‘ticket information’.
Complete each field:
Once you have completed those fields, you will begin creating the ‘Ticket pricing’ fields. Select whether these tickets are free or paid.
In this guide, we will configure a paid ticket.
Once you have selected ‘Paid Ticket’ you will see new fields appear:
Note: The calculation board is live and will automatically update based on your prior selections.
Next update the ‘Registration’ and ‘Validity’ fields.
Next update the ‘Ticket sales start and end dates’.
Next update the ‘Quantity and purchase limits’.
Next, update the ‘ticket and registration terms and conditions’ field. This is specific to this ticket type, but you may have a policy that applies to all tickets that can be included here.
Next, update the ‘Advance pricing’ field if you wish to set a ‘multi-purchase discount’.
Once updated, click the ‘Save’ button at the button of the page.
Once saved, the ‘Ticket type’ dashboard page will appear. This is where you will see the new ticket type you have created.
Repeat this ticket creation process until you have added all necessary tickets.
NOTE: The ‘Conference Copy’ ticket will reflect a ‘copy’ denoted next to the original ticket type. That denoted identifies the ticket type that needs to be edited and updated.
Next click on ‘Edit’ next to the ‘Conference copy’ ticket to update.
Once you have clicked on the edit navigation, the ‘Ticket information’ pop-up page will appear. This page will already be populated with identical information as the ‘Conference’ ticket type. Simply edit and update any fields that needs to be altered.
In this example we want the Conference early bird to cost $40 and be available March 1, 9 am – August 31, 6 pm. First, update the ticket name to ‘Conference Early Bird’, ticket price to $40 and update the ‘Limit Sales’ to March 1, 9 am – August 31, 6 pm. If you saved at this point, your early bird is already configured to expire automatically after 6 pm on August 31st.
To add strikethrough pricing, check ‘Enable Strikethrough Pricing’ and update the settings as required:
Click ‘Save’. Once saved, the ‘Conference Early Bird’ will appear on the ‘Ticket type’ dashboard.
TIP: You could also set your full-price tickets to ‘Limit Sales’ so they only become available for sale, exactly when the early bird equivalent sale expires.
If you have added custom fields to your registration form, you must assign those questions to your tickets. If you skip this step, your custom fields will not appear anywhere.
You can also use this functionality to determine which questions your attendees need to answer based on the ticket that they have selected.
Begin creating custom questions, click on the ‘Assign custom questions’ button
The ‘Assign custom questions’ page pops up. In this example, we will start by assigning questions to the ‘Conference’ ticket types only. The ‘Select ticket type’ field is a dropdown, and it will show all the ticket types created.
Select both the ‘Conference’ and ‘Conference early bird’ ticket types as the questions being assigned will be the same. Then check all the registration fields that should apply to these tickets. In this example, we want all questions so you can click the ‘Select all’ button.
Click ‘Save’ and the ticket with the assigned questions will appear on the dashboard:
Repeat this process for ALL your ticket types. Once you are satisfied click ‘Save and next’.
TIP: Remember when selecting the ticket types in this process, only multi-select the tickets when they will have the same questions assigned.
Begin by clicking on the ‘Edit’ navigation under the ‘Actions’ function. The ‘Add ticket type to apply design’ page will pop-up
Under the ‘Add ticket type to apply design’ go to the ‘Select ticket types’ field which is a dropdown. Click on the field to see the ticket type display. Click on each ticket type.
Next, go to the ‘Create a new Design’ and select your template design (the ‘Basic’ design is always set as the default). Make sure the button under the ‘Basic’ is blue and reflects ‘Selected’
Update the additional information that will appear on the ticket PDF (optional):
Next, update the design ‘Settings’:
Click the ‘Update ticket design’ button at the bottom of the page. After clicking the ‘Create ticket design’ dashboard page will appear. Click ‘Save and next’ button on the dashboard.
Input the details for your ticket group:
Repeat this process as necessary by clicking ‘Add New’.
These ticket options can be either paid or free. There are three types of ticket options:
This step is entirely optional. If your event does not require Ticket Options, then you can continue reading below to follow the remainder of the ticket creation process.
TIP: It is recommended that you add all your tickets before proceeding with this process.
If your event does require Ticket Options, please follow the instructions outlined in this article: Step 4a (Optional) - Add Ticket Options to your tickets
Once you have clicked on ‘Done’ button the ‘Events set-up’ dashboard will appear.
This concludes your ticket (and ticket option) creation process.
