Setting Up Ticket Types

Last updated: February 25, 2026

Ticket types define what registrants can select when signing up for an event. Each event needs at least one ticket type before donors can register.

How to Add a Ticket Type

  1. Open the event and go to the Tickets tab

  2. Click Add Ticket Type

  3. Fill in the ticket details (see fields below)

  4. Click Save

Repeat for each ticket type you want to offer (e.g., General Admission, VIP, Staff).

Paid vs. Free Tickets

An event can have a mix of paid and free ticket types. If a registrant selects only free tickets, they are not prompted for payment information.

Reordering Ticket Types

Ticket types display in the order they are listed. Drag and drop to reorder them on the Tickets tab.

Things to Watch For

  • Deleting a ticket type is permanent and will remove it from any existing registrations that haven't been completed. Use the Visible toggle to hide a ticket type instead.

  • There is no way to change a ticket type from paid to free after registrations have been submitted against it.

  • If all ticket types are at capacity, the registration page shows a sold-out state. See Capacity Limits and Sold-Out Behavior.
