Tickets in Gevme : Gevme Registration

Tickets in GEVME

In Gevme, every time an attendee registers for an event, he/she is issued a ticket by the system. This means that every event created has at least 1 type of ticket created by default (there can be no event without ticket). On top of that, as the organiser, you can then create additional tickets if you want to categorize or segregate your attendees, e.g. you could have a Regular Ticket priced at $100 and a VIP Ticket priced at $400.

The various settings which you can configure for your tickets are described below.

Configuring Your Tickets

The configuration settings for your tickets are accessed by clicking on the Tickets link in the left hand navigation:

Under the Tickets screen will be displayed all the tickets that your event currently has. At first glance, and at this point, these are the settings that can be configured:

Ticket Name
The name of your ticket, as it will appear on your event page.
Note: Do not use the following special characters in the Ticket Name, as this is not acceptable for Onsite checkin:

" Double quotation mark

' Single quotation mark or apostrophe

< Less than symbol

> Greater than symbol

& Ampersand

Quantity
The maximum quantity that you want to allow to be purchased for each ticket.

Price
The price of each ticket. Insert 0 for free tickets.

Visible?
Select No if you want to create a hidden ticket which would be invisible to the participants. See below for more details on hidden tickets.

Currency
The currency of your ticket prices and of your event in general, wherever money would be involved. Only 1 currency is used across the Event.
Note:
The currency cannot be changed if/when participants have already purchased tickets.

Delete
A ticket can be deleted by clicking on the trash icon.
Note: A ticket cannot be deleted if participants have already purchased it. If this has happened and you are in a situation where you want to delete a ticket which has already been purchased, you can hide that particular ticket, such that it won't be visible to participants.

Re-ordering your tickets
The sequence of your tickets can be re-arranged by clicking and dragging the cross-arrow icon. The sequence in which your tickets appear in the backend is how they will appear on your event page.

Event capacity
This is the overall maximum capacity that you want to allow for your event. This capacity overides all the individual capacity of each ticket, e.g. in the example above, if the event capacity is set to 50, registration will close when the total number of all tickets combined reaches 50.

Creating a new ticket
Click the link Create another ticket to create a new ticket.
