Ticketing Setup

Create Ticket

To create ticket types for your event, follow these steps:

Important Reminder:

  • Organizers can create a maximum of 44 ticket types for each event.
  • Once the tickets are sold, the organizer cannot delete the ticket anymore.

Step 1: After logging in to the organizer portal, go to Payment Method and toggle on the Online Payment option.



For more information on connecting to either your own stripe account or EventX stripe account, please refer to this article.

Step 2: When a Stripe account is connected, click the Create Ticket button.  


Once a ticket has been created, the organizer can input the following information: 

Ticket Details

The organizer can customize the basic ticketing information, such as ticket name, ticket type (priced or free ticket), selling quantity, selling price and purchase limit. 



When all tickets have been sold out, registrants will see the indication "This ticket has sold out".


Webinar Permission Access

The organizer can assign access for each ticket holder to join the webinar sessions by selecting webinar sessions to confirm which sessions this ticket holder can access.



By clicking on the All Webinar Sessions, organizers will allow this ticket holder to access all webinar sessions that are on the platform.

Ticket Minimum / Maximum Limit Per Purchase

Organizers are able to limit the number of tickets per purchase. This can be applied to each ticket that is created. To do so, simply set the minimum and maximum purchase amount for each order in the section shown below. 



Once done, attendees will not be able to purchase more than the set amount. For example, if the maximum number is 1, attendees can only purchase up to 1 ticket for this particular ticket type. 



Remarks: 
  1. The purchase limit only applies to the specific ticket that is created. Attendees are still able to purchase other tickets under the same registration form if there are multiple tickets assigned to the form.
  2. Purchasers are able to register again under the same email address and purchase a new ticket. 

Breakout Session Access

In order to set the access for attendees who are attending the event in-person, please note the following:

Step 1: Ensure that In-person Check-in is toggled ON to be able to edit the Breakout Sessions. 


Step 2: Refer to this article on how to create breakout sessions. 

Step 3: Under Participants, select the attendees that you would like to allow access to the session.

Ticket Sale Time

The organizer can set the ticket selling period by setting the start and end date and time of sales.


If ticket selling has not started yet, ticket and ticket details are greyed out and still unavailable to click.

 

When the ticket sales period has ended, it will be indicated as below.

 

Ticket Description

The organizer may also add a ticket description for the attendee in the Ticket Description box. Here, organizers are able to change the font, font size, attach links and also add images if needed. 



The ticket description will be shown under the ticket type on the registration form. The display of the ticket can be collapsed. 



Once the attendee has purchased a ticket, the automated order summary and confirmation emails will include the purchased ticket details and also the ticket description.

Changing Attendee Ticket Type

Using multiple ticket types with Free and Paid tickets means having different event access or permission for each type of ticket. In the case that the attendee wishes to change his ticket type, the organizer may do so by following a few steps.  

Reminder: 

  • Editing the ticket type will NOT trigger any automated confirmation email. 
  • Editing the ticket type will only change the permission or access of the attendee to the event. However, it does not handle any refund or surcharge. (Organizers still need to handle the money via Stripe and not in Event Portal

To change an attendees ticket type, do the following:

Step 1: Go to Attendee list on the left.


Step 2: Locate or search the attendee, hover after on the right and click on the Edit icon.


Step 3: Change the ticket type by choosing from the types of ticket available.


Step 4: Click Update and the updated ticket type will be shown under the participant's detail.
