# How do I sell tickets to an event?

> Add ticket types to an event, set who can buy them and how they're admitted, then publish the event so it sells on your club website.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * **It's a plan feature.** **Event Ticketing** is off by default. The Tickets step, the event's **Tickets** and **Check-in** tabs and **Settings > Ticketing** appear only once it is on.
  * **A Draft sells nothing.** Only a **Published**, upcoming event with at least one active ticket type sells on your club website and at the point of sale.
  * **Sold types lock.** Once a ticket type has sold, its admission terms are locked. Price, sales window, inventory and purchase caps stay editable.
  * **No discount codes.** Tickets can't take discount codes, and a gift card pays for them only if it is unrestricted.
</Note>

**Before you start.** You need the **Manage Tickets** permission to add or change ticket types and ticket defaults.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Turn on ticket sales">
    In **Registrations > Events**, click **Add Event**. After **Staff**, the **Tickets** step appears: switch on **This event sells tickets**, then add **Public listing artwork** and any **Required waivers** (every ticket must have these signed before it can be scanned). For an existing event, use its **Tickets** tab and click **New ticket type**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a ticket type">
    Click **Add ticket type** (on the **Tickets** tab, the **New ticket type** panel opens instead) and fill in each section:

    | Section | What you set |
    | - | - |
    | Details | **Name**, **Description**, **Price**, a GL code, **Active** (off hides it from buyers) |
    | Access & eligibility | **Who can buy this**: **General admission - any buyer** or **Athletes only - buyer picks eligible roster athletes** (adds **Minimum age**, **Maximum age**, and **Levels** and **Memberships** where your plan has them); **How it's redeemed**: **Scan at the door (QR / serial)** or **Roster check-in only**; **Allow re-entry** |
    | Limits | **Unlimited inventory** (off shows **Seats available**), **Uses per ticket**, **Attendance**, **Max per order** (general admission only), **Max per guardian**, plus named-attendee and paid-in-full checkboxes |
    | Windows | **Sales start** and **Sales end** for buying; **Valid from** and **Valid until** for scanning (blank means the event's date) |
    | Custom fields, Artwork | Questions for each ticket, and a **Ticket-face image** |

    On the **Tickets** tab, finish with **Create ticket type**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save or publish">
    Click **Save as draft** or **Create & publish**. With ticket sales on, the event needs at least one ticket type. Later, **Edit** finishes with **Save as draft** or **Save & publish**. Publishing with no active ticket types warns that buyers will see nothing to purchase, but still publishes.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Show it on your club website">
    In **Settings > Website > Pages**, switch on the **Events** card (off by default) and click **Save Changes**. It lists Published, upcoming events with an active ticket type. Published ticketed events also appear on your club website calendar. See [How do I choose which pages appear on my website?](/club/website-store/choose-which-pages-show).
  </Step>
</Steps>

**Starting values.** A new type starts with unlimited inventory, 1 use per ticket, general admission, scan at the door, re-entry off, a named attendee required and scanning blocked until paid. **Settings > Ticketing > Ticket Defaults** changes the starting **Default ticket-face image**, **Who can buy this**, **Block scanning until paid in full** and **Require a named attendee** for new types only.

**Managing types later.** The **Tickets** tab lists every type with its price, inventory and **Sold** count. Each row's **Actions** menu offers **Edit**, **Activate** or **Deactivate** (stops new sales) and **Delete** (can't be undone, and unavailable once a type has sold).

**Locked once sold.** A type with sold tickets, or a purchase still settling, locks who can buy it, how it's redeemed, re-entry, attendance, naming, paid-scan, validity, ages and custom fields. To change those, deactivate it and create a new type.

**Purchase conditions.** Open an existing type to add **Purchase conditions**, such as an earlier purchase the buyer must already have. They only gate new sales. See [How do I require an earlier purchase before someone can register?](/club/programs-classes/require-an-earlier-purchase).

**The money.** A sale posts to the ticket type's GL code. If it has none, it posts to the event's, and failing that to your club's default Event GL code. If a type sells out while a payment is going through, seats that couldn't be issued are refunded automatically.

**What buyers get.** Online buyers get an email with a link to each ticket. For naming holders, signing waivers and showing the QR code, see [How do I buy an event ticket and use it at the door?](/families/families-registering/buy-and-use-event-tickets).
