How To Sell Tickets
Admission Ticket items can be sold from the main Auction Dashboard's Tickets menu item.
This is the recommended method for organizers to sell admission tickets directly to guests and correctly register the tickets.
INFORMATION
Admission 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.
IMPORTANT
Admission Tickets should only be sold through using Sell Tickets dashboard and not through the Bidding/Sales page when using the Auction Dashboards.
Tickets sold through the Bidding/Sales page will not create bidder/guest records and ticket numbers will not be generated (or assigned).

An example from a demonstration event.Keep in mind that a purchaser can only assign a single ticket to themselves. This means that all the email addresses that are supplied for the tickets being purchased should be unique if possible. Supplying email addresses for guests is optional by default.
Select your preferred payment method from the Payment section.
