How To Sell Tickets
Admission Ticket items can be sold from the main Event 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 Event Website (or manually using the Sell Tickets dashboard function) will trigger the full Registration/Checkout process and create a participant record for the purchaser as part of that process.
IMPORTANT
Admission Tickets should only be sold through using Sell Tickets/Sponsorships dashboard and not through the Bidding/Sales page.
Tickets sold through the Bidding/Sales page will not create participant/guest records and ticket numbers will not be generated (or assigned).
