Event ticket types can be found on the corresponding event page. Some examples of ticket types you may want are “General Admission”, VIP, “Dietary Requirements”, “Under 12s”, and “Restricted mobility”. If your event is at a larger venue with seating sections, then Sections A, B, C, D, etc., may also be appropriate.
The Allocated progress bar displays the number of tickets allocated. Likewise, the refunded progress bar shows how many tickets are refunded. The last progress bar, “Checked in,” displays the total number of people checked in by having their tickets scanned. Learn more about checking-in attendees.
Tip: When tickets are free, people often don’t turn up for events making it hard to manage seating levels. A simple answer to this problem is to charge a small amount for tickets and then refund the tickets at the end of the night. You may even suggest to attendees on the night that not refunding their tickets is an easy way to support the event. The refund progress bar easily tracks the number of refunded tickets.
Tip: Hovering or tapping the photo will display options to change, edit or delete the photo, and on tablets and phones, you can change the photo using the camera. This photo will be used to create tickets; 2000 pixels by 700 pixels is a good image size for ticket labels.
Note: Refunded bookings are still counted in the total number of bookings. Delete the bookings to remove them from the booking totals.

Fields
Add extra fields to collect extra information with each ticket. For example, you may need to know dietary requirements, or if the ticket is for children, you may need to know each child’s name and birthday and ask for parent liability consent. The following type of fields can be added:
- Name: a person’s name
- Email: an email address
- Mobile: a mobile number
- Phone: a phone number
- Gender: a person’s gender
- Birthday: a person’s birthday
- Date: some other date
- Text: a single line of text
- Paragraph text: one or more lines of text
- Choose from a list: a list of options to choose from
- Checkboxes: one or more checkbox options
If a field is required, then the booking form can only be submitted with the required info. If the field name field is left blank, then the field type will be used for the field label; otherwise, you can just enter a label and any possible instructions. A default value can also be entered and prefilled each time the form is viewed.
Tip: If you want bookings to relate to a person on UCare, then make sure you add a name field plus an email, mobile, phone or birthday field. If the details entered during registration match an existing profile, the ticket would be linked to that profile. If there is no match, a new profile is created.
Note: If you need to reorder fields, you must remove the current fields that need changing and add new fields in the order you want them displayed.
