Our reserved seating system also supports the sale of season tickets. You can create your own custom seating charts directly inside our user-friendly event management dashboard, all with seamless Stripe payment processing.

Question 38

How do attendees receive their tickets?

After purchase, attendees automatically receive digital tickets via email with unique QR codes. They can also access their tickets through their customer account on the platform. If needed, attendees can print their tickets or simply show the QR code on their smartphone at the event for scanning.

Question 39

What options do you have for access control? Do you have an event check-in app?

You can use our ticket scanning mobile app, Entry Fairy, or use our API feed to allow any 3rd-party RFID system to scan our ticket QR codes. As your event approaches, you will get an automatic email from the system with a link to download the app and information on how ticket scanning works. All revenue from ticket sales processed through Stripe is immediately available in your account.

Question 40

Can tickets be transferred or resold?

Yes, our platform includes a controlled ticket resale and transfer system. As the event organizer, you can choose whether to allow ticket transfers and configure resale rules, including price caps to prevent scalping. Our system includes anti-fraud protections like ID verification to ensure only legitimate transfers occur. All resale transactions are processed through your Stripe account, giving you full visibility into both original and resale transactions.

Question 41

How do discount codes work? I'd like to give discounts to certain people or offer group discounts.

We do things a little differently than other ticketing platforms. You create an individual promotion, set its discount pricing structure, and then you can add as many discount codes as you want that will unlock that promotion. This allows you to add many (or even thousands) discount codes so you can track ticket sales from different affiliates and partners. You can even apply different discount types to different ticket types within the same promotion. All discount transactions are processed through your Stripe account with the appropriate adjustments.

Question 42

Do you offer tools to help me sell more tickets?

Yes, our platform includes built-in marketing tools like social sharing incentives, referral programs, affiliate tracking, and email campaigns. These features help you leverage your audience to drive more ticket sales while maintaining the secure Stripe payment experience for all purchases.

Question 43

Do you have a waiting list feature for sold-out events?

Yes, you can enable a waiting list feature for sold-out events or ticket types. When additional tickets become available or when others cancel, people on the waiting list can be automatically notified and given priority access to purchase. Our system can also be configured to automatically offer returned tickets to waiting list members in order of signup. All waiting list purchases are processed through your Stripe account like regular ticket sales.

Question 44

Can I collect custom data from my attendees?

Yes, in addition to the standard information (name, email, phone), our platform allows you to create custom data capture fields to gather specific information relevant to your event. You can collect details such as meal preferences, T-shirt sizes, workshop selections, accessibility requirements, emergency contacts, or any other information you need. These custom fields can be made required or optional, and can be associated with specific ticket types or add-ons. All customer data is accessible in your dashboard alongside the payment information from Stripe.

Question 45

What sales reports are available?

Our platform provides comprehensive reporting on ticket sales, revenue, attendee demographics, conversion rates, and marketing performance. You can view data in real-time dashboards and export reports in various formats. This complements the financial reporting available in your Stripe dashboard.

Question 46

Can I access real-time sales data?

Yes, you have access to real-time sales dashboards showing ticket purchases, revenue, conversion rates, and other key metrics. This allows you to make data-driven decisions about pricing, marketing, and inventory. This data is available alongside the financial information in your Stripe dashboard.
