Sell tickets for an event

Sell tickets for an event with prices and capacity per ticket type, take payment up front and scan guests in at the door.

2 min read

In short: go to Bookings › Events › Ticketed Events, create the event with ticket types and prices, then scan guests in from Door.

Create the event

  1. Go to Bookings › Events › Ticketed Events, then choose your venue.
  2. Click New ticketed event.
  3. Add a Name, Description and Header image.
  4. Leave On sale on. Use Hidden to share by direct link only.

Dates, doors and tickets

  1. Under Dates, pick every date it runs.
  2. Choose a Capacity pool (Per date or Whole event). Turn on Timed entry for arrival slots.
  3. Set Doors Open and Close times. Keep Take card details for free tickets on so no-shows can be charged.
  4. Under Ticket types and capacity, add each ticket type with its price and capacity.

Extras and blocking, then save

  1. Under Food and extras, attach Pre-ordered food or Upgrades. Pre-orders need Square and at least one active menu attached. See pre-orders.
  2. Under Booking availability, turn on Block all booking types and pick Full day or During event hours (uses the doors times). Or use Filter mode to block specific types.
  3. Click Create event.

On the night

  1. Click Door on the event's row.
  2. Click Start camera to scan guests in, or type a code and press Admit.
  3. Print or Export the door list as a backup.

On Square venues, the scanner cannot read a Ticket barcode set to Square. Find the guest on the door list.

Cancel and refund

  1. Click Tickets on the event's row.
  2. Click the order.
  3. Click Cancel whole order, or tick tickets and click Cancel.
  4. Choose Full, Part or No refund, and a Reason.
  5. Click Cancel tickets.

Tickets cancelled, refund failed means the tickets stay cancelled and the places go back on sale, but the refund did not go through. Cancelling again will not retry it, so refund from the charges list or your payment provider.

Check it worked

Open the event's web link to see what guests see, then share it.

Good to know

  • Raising a price later never re-charges anyone who has already bought.
  • With no doors opening time, During event hours shows Nothing will be blocked.
  • Only Admin, Moderator, General Manager and Reports can set up ticketed events. FOH and Bookings Manager cannot see Ticketed Events.
