Tickets and packages that know your schedule

What's included

When your event has days and sub-events, each ticket type and package has a What's included list: a tick for each day and sub-event, and how many of its guests get it.

• Nothing ticked: its guests join the days and sub-events new guests are put in automatically.
• Something ticked: its guests go on exactly those, and not the automatic ones.
• The buyer chooses who. Where fewer guests get one than it covers, the buyer ticks who's coming to it as they name their guests, and their page says how many places on their order are left to give.
• On your event page, each one says what it includes, like “Includes Welcome dinner, Friday, Golf event (4 of the 6 guests) and Saturday”.

Places a ticket or package promises count against each day's limit before the guests are named. When the golf event is full, a ticket or package that includes it shows as sold out, with the reason: “Golf event is full, so the Gold sponsor package is sold out.”

What's included comes with days and sub-events, so changing it needs a plan that has them.

Private links

Each ticket type and package is for Anyone on the event page or Only people with the private link. A private one isn't on your event page or in search results, and can't be bought there without its link.

Its link opens your event page with the Founders table at the top, under a note: “You were sent a private link: Founders table is only offered here.” Buying through it works like any other purchase.

Managers copy the link from its editor. If it's been shared too widely, Make a new link stops the old one working for everyone, straight away.

Giving one free

From the guest list or a guest's card, managers and owners can give a guest any ticket or package free. They get it just as if they'd bought it: the same seats, days and sub-events, and the link to name their guests.

• No money anywhere. Nothing is paid, so there's no receipt, and it isn't counted as money raised.
• Named only if you choose. For a package, staff can type the name to thank them as on the event page and the big screen. Left empty, nobody is named, and the holder can add a name from their order page.
• Their email waits a minute. They're emailed in a minute or so, so an Undo straight after takes it back before they hear about it.
• It uses places like a sale. It counts toward how many are for sale, and toward the limits of the days and sub-events it includes.

Tickets & sponsors shows how many of each were given free next to how many were sold. A free one can be taken back from its order: its seats are cancelled and guests named on it come off the list. Taking one back can't be undone.

The event's report lists sold and given free side by side, and says that given free raises nothing.

Who can do it, on which plans

Managers and owners set up tickets, What's included and private links, and give tickets free. Door volunteers and pledge collectors can't.

Free tickets and private links come wherever you can sell tickets. Sponsorship packages, and giving one free, come with the plans that have sponsorships, and What's included with the plans that have days and sub-events.
