Getting Started - What are Ticket Type Categories?

Categories offer another way for you to group your ticket types based on the type of product they represent.

You’ll be able to choose from 5 predefined categories upon ticket type creation:

1. Admission (can be used for entry tickets).
2. Admission - Other (can be used for ticket types related to admission that represent ancillary revenue or add-ons).
3. Parking
4. Merch
5. Donation

For the time being, Categories are not available for accounts using Event Creation for Venues.

Set Ticket Types Categories

On the Event Creation Step 2 (Event Dashboard > Tickets):

1. Click on “Add a ticket type”
2. Set a ticket name, price, status and allotment.
3. Click on the field under the “Category” column and choose the option that fits your ticket type best.
4. Save

Things to know

• All ticket types are created with “Admission” category selected by default.

• Once a ticket has been sold on that ticket type (including payment plans), the category cannot be changed, even if all tickets are refunded or chargedback.

Any ticket types created before the release of this feature will also have the “Admission” category assigned by default, however it can be updated as long as no tickets have sold on the ticket type.

Where can I see/use ticket categories?
