How-to: Add Images

Limited Time   

Use time limits to: 

  • Offer early bird tickets and packages at a discounted price 
  • Wait to display certain tickets or packages till a specific date
  • Encourage students or parents to purchase tickets quickly before the time limit runs out

Note that once the time limit has expired, the tickets or packages will automatically be removed from your Experience Page.

Limited Quantity

Use quantity limits to:

  • Make your Event appear exclusive
  • Encourage students or parents to purchase their tickets and packages early, so they don’t miss out
  • Enforce your venue's occupancy limit
  • Offer a select number of tickets and packages

Note that once the quantity limit has been reached, the tickets or packages will still be visible on your Experience Page, but the purchase option will no longer be enabled:

Custom Fields

Custom fields allow you to collect information from attendees. You can collect the same information from all attendees, add unique custom fields to each ticket or package option, and make each field either required or optional. Use custom fields to:

  • Collect student ID numbers that can be downloaded and verified
  • Collect class (Junior/Senior, etc.) and/or homeroom information
  • Require purchasers to agree to terms and conditions or link to a permission slip
  • Collect other data such as gender, dietary restrictions or preferences, etc.:
