# How do I sell event tickets at the point of sale?

> Sell general admission event tickets from the point of sale's Tickets tab, and hand over ticket links when the customer gives no email.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * **Two plan features.** You need **Event Ticketing** as well as **Store**, which includes the point of sale.
  * **General admission only.** Only active general admission types on **Published** events dated today or later show at the register. Athletes-only types sell online.
  * **Untick named attendees.** A type with **Require a named attendee before the ticket can be scanned** ticked (the default) shows here but can't be paid for. Untick it before the type sells: after that it's locked.
  * **Links show once.** If you leave the customer email blank, open or print each ticket link on the success screen and hand it over.
</Note>

**Where to find it.** Tap **Tickets** in the register's category row. Events are listed soonest first, with a button per type showing its name, price and "N left", or **Sold out**. Nothing to sell shows "No ticketed events" with a link to **Events**. Past 50 events, only the 50 soonest are listed and the register says so.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Pick a type and quantity">
    Tap the type and set **Quantity** with **+** and **-**, up to the seats left and the type's **Max per order**. **Max per guardian** doesn't apply here.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add an email, or leave it blank">
    Fill in **Customer email (optional)** to send the tickets as a claim link (an invalid address shows "Enter a valid email address"), then tap **Add to cart**. "Tickets added to cart" confirms it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Take payment">
    Tap **Cash** or **Card**. If **Card** opens **Card Terminal**, tap **Use QR code instead**: a card terminal can't charge tickets, so the customer pays with **Scan to Pay**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Hand over the tickets">
    With no email, the **Payment Successful!** screen lists **Ticket 1**, **Ticket 2** and so on: "Open or print each link and give it to the customer - these are shown only once." Do it before you tap **New Order**. Lost one? Reissue it from the event's **Check-in** tab.
  </Step>
</Steps>

**If payment fails.** The **Payment Failed** screen says why, such as a type that needs attendee names or is outside its sales window.

**If a type sells out mid-sale.** On a card sale, the success screen adds "N tickets couldn't be seated" and says either that a refund was issued automatically or that you must refund the customer from the payment link.

**Where the money goes.** Revenue posts to the ticket type's GL code, then the event's, then your club's default GL code for events.
