Checked against Durbar on

Add a ticket type

On the event's page, in Tickets, add a type for each kind of ticket you sell or give away.

  • Ticket name, up to 60 characters, such as Regular or VIP.
  • Price: 0 for free. A paid ticket is at least GH₵1.00.
  • How many you have, and Most per order (1 to 50, 10 unless you change it).
  • People per ticket: how many it lets in. A Table of 10 lets 10 in, and the buyer gets a QR code for each person. How many counts tables, not people. Once a ticket of the type is out it can't change, since each already has its QR codes: for another size, add another ticket type.
  • What's included, in a line.
  • Sales open and Sales close. Left blank, sales open when you publish and close when the event ends.
  • Hide from the event page, for tickets only a code unlocks.

Free tickets are issued at once. Paid tickets are held for 15 minutes while the buyer pays, then released if they don't. A published event always keeps at least one ticket type.

Tables: tickets and people

A ticket for several people is one sale and a place for each of them. Wherever Durbar counts, it says both: Tickets shows "3 of 4 issued · 30 people", Attendees "4 tickets · 40 people issued", and the gate "Table of 10 23 of 40 in · 4 tickets". Sales counts tickets sold, and people checked in against the people your tickets let in. Where every ticket lets one person in, you only see tickets.

Create a code

In the event's Codes section, choose what kind of code you want:

  • One code to share: 3 to 24 letters, digits or dashes, such as EARLYBIRD.
  • One-use codes for a list: 1 to 500 random codes at once, with an optional prefix. Each works for one ticket unless you change it.

Then choose what it does:

  • Percent off, from 1 to 100.
  • Amount off each ticket.
  • Unlock only: it shows hidden tickets and changes no price.

You can limit a code to some ticket types, cap how many tickets it covers, and set when it works from and until. Pause a code and turn it back on whenever you like. Its state shows as Active, Paused, Scheduled, Expired or Used up.

What buyers see

Buyers type a code under Have a code?, or open a link that already carries it. The saving shows before they pay, and the total is the full price: no fees are added. A discount never leaves a paid ticket under GH₵1.00; it is either at least GH₵1.00 or free.
