Tickets
WARNING
Ticket Items should only be used for event admissions and other similar gate-keeping measures. Please do not enable this feature set for items that represent other kinds of "tickets", such as raffle tickets, drink tickets, etc.
Tickets items in Auctria are specially configured For Sale Items that have an admission quantity set and will be used either for admission to an (in-person) event or, optionally, as a means to restrict bidding in the auction catalogs.
Tickets items sold through the Auction Website (or manually using the Sell Tickets dashboard function) will trigger the full Bidder Registration/Checkout process and create a bidder record for the purchaser as part of that process. Tickets are tied directly to Bidders and Bidder Record creation.
Auctria can track your ticket sales and provide E-Tickets to guests. This will allow them, for example, to pre-register Credit Cards and update their contact information before the event.
