Create event tickets and sell them online

Sell tickets for concerts, performances, banquets, and other events with an Event Ticket campaign.

Create the campaign

Open Campaigns > Add Campaign, then choose Event Ticket.

Enter event details

Add the event name, an optional subtitle, and a description of at least 154 characters. Use letters and numbers in the name; special characters aren't supported.

Enter the Selling Price and, optionally, Cost Basis. Set the Expiration Date to the ticket-sales deadline.

Add the venue, event date, time, and ticket quantity. Check the time zone. Leave the quantity blank if you aren't limiting ticket sales.

Add photos and checkout questions

Upload JPG, JPEG, or PNG images up to 10 MB. PDFs aren't supported. Square images of at least 500 × 500 pixels are recommended.

Without an event image, the ticket uses your organization's logo or, if no logo is available, a default ticket image.

Add custom checkout fields for information you need, such as dietary requirements for a dinner. You can make questions required.

Choose a fundraising goal

Goal tracking is optional. Enter the dollar amount without commas or spaces, then choose:

Collective Goal: One shared target.
Individual Goal: A target for each participant, with an optional split between the participant and the organization's Angel Fund.

Participants can join either type, but individual credit requires an individual goal.

Set ticket types

For one ticket type, use a single option. For choices such as General Admission and VIP, select Add Variant Option and choose the ticket-type attribute.

Add every ticket type as a variant, including the standard ticket. If you add VIP, also add General Admission.

Select Next Step to add images and any additional costs for each variant.

Organize tickets and set availability

Choose one or more product categories, or leave them unselected.

To add or reorder categories, open Organization Settings > Product Categories. Categories with no assigned items won't appear in your store.

Set the quantity available for each ticket type. Leave it blank if sales aren't limited.

Review your details and select Finish to publish.

Sell tickets at the door

Each event has a gate flyer with a QR code. Print and display it so attendees can buy tickets on their phones.

To download it, open the event campaign and select Download Gate Flyer under Gate Flyers.

Create tickets through CutTime

Create an event in CutTime.
Enter the event details, calendar visibility, assigned students or guardians, and description.
Select Yes for Automate ticket sales online for me.

Enter capacity, price, and venue details.
In SimpleRaise, open Campaigns > Drafts and finish setting up the ticket campaign.

Your first ticketed CutTime event creates a SimpleRaise store if you don't already have one. Tickets won't become active until you complete the draft.

Invite participants

If you're using individual goals, open Participants and add participants.
