# How do I buy an event ticket and use it at the door?

> Buy tickets for an event on your club website, then show the QR code from your emailed ticket link at the door.

<Note>
  **Must know**

  * **Only at clubs that sell event tickets.** Ticketed events are on your club website's **Events** page.
  * **Each ticket is emailed to you as a link to its own ticket page.** That link is where you find and show your ticket.
  * **The QR code shows only when the ticket is ready:** paid, complete (named, waivers signed, required questions answered) and within its valid dates.
</Note>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Find a ticketed event">
    On your club website, open **Events**, or select a ticketed event on the **Calendar**. The **Events** page lists upcoming events that have tickets, and your club chooses whether to show it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose your tickets">
    Each ticket type shows its price. One you can't buy right now reads **Sold Out**, **Sales Not Yet Open** or **Sales Closed**.

    * For a ticket anyone can use, set the quantity (you may see **Limit \[N] per order**), enter each **Attendee \[N] name** if asked, then select **Add to Cart - \$\[total]**.
    * For a ticket only for athletes, select **Sign In to Select Athletes**, check each eligible athlete (or select **Add athlete**), then **Add \[N] Tickets - \$\[total]**. If none qualify, you see "None of your athletes are eligible for this ticket type." and **Add an athlete**.

    Some ticket types need another purchase: a required store item is added alongside the ticket, and a required program registration comes first.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check out and open your ticket email">
    Check out from your cart. After you pay, you get an email with a **View ticket** button for each ticket. Each opens that ticket's page: the ticket with its QR code, **Print Ticket**, and **Add to Google Wallet** when available.
  </Step>
</Steps>

**Finishing a ticket.** If a ticket anyone can use still needs something, its page shows **Complete this ticket**: enter the **Attendee name** if asked, answer any required questions, select **Continue**, then sign each required waiver. The QR code then appears. A ticket for an athlete can't be finished from the link. The page reads **This ticket is completed from your account** and points you to a **Tickets** page in the family portal. That page isn't in the menu, so contact your club to finish the ticket.

**Why the QR code can be hidden.** The ticket shows one of these instead:

| What you see | What it means |
| - | - |
| **Action Needed** | A name, waiver or answer is missing, or "Family requirements need to be resolved before this ticket can be used." |
| **Payment Required** | The ticket isn't fully paid. |
| **Not valid yet** | Its valid-from time hasn't arrived. |
| **Expired** | Its valid dates have passed. |
| **Redeemed** | Every admission is used. |
| **Cancelled** | Your club cancelled it. |

A multi-entry ticket keeps its QR code and shows the admissions left, as **\[N] of \[M] remaining**.

**At the door.** Show the QR code on your phone, on paper or in Google Wallet for staff to scan. Your club may check some tickets in from its list instead. If a link shows **Ticket Not Found**, use your most recent ticket email: a resent ticket's old link stops working.
