How To Re-Assign Tickets

There may be cases where a purchaser of a group of tickets, for example a "Table of 8" Tickets item may not actually have guests to fill all of the seats and will ask to have one or more tickets assigned to other bidders. The purchaser may require an existing assigned ticket be set to a different bidder and it could also be possible they are asking for a guest that is not registered, yet, to be assigned the ticket.


Assign To Existing Bidder

Locate Tickets

Starting with the purchaser's Bidder Details, go to their Tickets tab.
