Two different things live here. The event is when people turn up. Sales is when they can buy — usually earlier, and often closing the night before so you know your numbers.

Ticket sales

Leave both empty to sell from the moment you publish until the event begins.

Every time on the page, the tickets and the reminders is read in this zone, so an 8pm start is 8pm where the event is.

A ceiling across every level. A level can also have its own limit, and whichever runs out first stops the sale.

Tickets

Asked at the checkout, one per ticket, and printed on the ticket. Leave it off and the tickets are in the buyer's name.

Any phone camera opens it. Somebody on the door with an account can mark it used, and a ticket scanned twice says so. Leave it off if you are checking people off a list.

Let people add a donation A gift on top of the ticket, at checkout.
Receipt each donation Issued automatically for the gift, not for the ticket.
Add-ons

Anything else somebody can buy with their ticket — parking, a drink, a programme. Priced separately and never receipted as a donation.

Buyer questions are asked once, of whoever pays. Attendee questions are asked for every ticket — a name for the door list, a meal choice, a shirt size. Ask for as little as you can: every question is somebody deciding whether to bother.

Sent for you. Use {{first_name}} and {{event_name}} and they will be filled in.

Tax receipts

A ticket is not a donation — the buyer receives something for it. Set what that is worth on each level under Tickets, and only the amount paid above it is receipted. Leave a level's value equal to its price and nothing is receipted, which is correct for most events.

Receipt the deductible part of a ticket Only where a level is priced above what it is worth.

This address is permanent. Editing the event later — the name, the dates, the prices — keeps it, because it is the part people have already written down.
