Ticket Management Tips for Eventsona Organisers
Practical Eventsona ticket management tips: GBP tiers, capacity, sale windows, orders hygiene, and how valid tickets feed QR check-in on the day.
Tickets are a product, not a spreadsheet
Good ticket management means clear names, honest capacity, sale windows that match your marketing, and an orders list you trust at the door.
Step 1: Design tiers with different inclusions
- Early Bird — same experience, time-limited price
- General Admission — standard access
- VIP — only if perks are real and visible on the page
Price in GBP and state fees behaviour. Deeper pricing strategy: early-bird vs standard.
Step 2: Set capacity per type and overall
Never exceed what the venue can hold safely. Split capacity across tiers so VIP cannot starve GA (or the reverse) unless that is intentional.
Step 3: Use sale windows deliberately
Open Early Bird with a real end date or quantity. Avoid leaving expired tiers visible without explanation.
Step 4: Monitor orders weekly
Scan for failed payments, odd duplicates, and refund spikes. Process refunds through the order tools so check-in stays accurate—see managing tickets and orders.
Step 5: Connect tickets to registration fields
If VIP needs extra info, collect it with custom fields rather than DMs.
Step 6: Prepare tickets for check-in
Every valid ticket should produce a scannable QR. Brief door staff on tier names if lanes differ. Follow check-in process.
Step 7: After the event, retire and learn
Close remaining sales, export, and note which tiers sold. Carry lessons into the next listing’s ticket architecture.
Frequently asked questions
How many ticket types is too many?
If buyers hesitate between three nearly identical options, simplify. Two or three clear tiers beat six confusing ones.
Should I hide sold-out tiers?
Showing sold-out can create social proof; hiding can reduce clutter. Pick one approach and stay consistent.
Can promo codes replace tiers?
Use tiers for inclusions; use promo codes for campaigns and partners.
