Invitation Code Required

How to Use Invitation Codes to Protect Ticket Types

Invitation codes allow event organizers to restrict certain ticket types to specific groups by requiring a code to access the ticket. This feature is especially useful for sponsor, media, or members-only tickets that are complimentary or reserved for a select audience. Using an invitation code prevents the general public from registering for these ticket types.

Why Use Invitation Codes?

Invitation codes are ideal for:

• Sponsors: Provide exclusive access to free or discounted tickets.

• Media: Limit access to press passes or media-only areas.

• Members-Only Events: Ensure only qualified members can register for certain tickets.

By requiring an invitation code, you add an extra layer of control to make sure only intended recipients can register for the ticket type.

How to Enable an Invitation Code for a Ticket Type

1. Create a Ticket:

   • Go to the Create Ticket page while setting up your event.

   • Under the Ticket section, create the specific ticket type (e.g., "Sponsor Ticket").

   • When configuring the ticket, look for the option to enable Invitation Code protection.

2. Enable Invitation Code:

   • Simply check the box to enable the invitation code requirement for that ticket.

   • Once enabled, this ticket will only be accessible to users who have the correct invitation code.

How to Create an Invitation Code

To set up an invitation code for a ticket, follow these steps:

1. Go to Manage Invitation Codes:

   • In the event dashboard, navigate to Manage > Invitation Code.

2. Create the Invitation Code:

   • Click on the Create Invitation Code button.

   • Enter the desired invitation code (e.g., "SPONSOR2024").

   • Specify the ticket type(s) this code applies to. For example, you can link the code to the "Sponsor Ticket."

3. Share the Code:

   • After setting up the code, share it with the appropriate audience (e.g., sponsors or media) to allow them to register for the ticket type.

Example Scenario

Imagine you're hosting a large conference, and you have three ticket types: General Admission, Sponsor Pass, and Media Access.

You want to keep the Sponsor Pass and Media Access tickets limited to sponsors and media representatives only. You can set up an invitation code for each of these ticket types, such as:

• SPONSOR2024 for sponsors.

• MEDIA2024 for media representatives.

Only those who receive the correct code will be able to access and register for these specific tickets, while the general public can still purchase General Admission tickets.

Managing and Editing Invitation Codes

If you need to update or remove an invitation code after creation:

• Navigate to Manage > Invitation Code.

• You can edit, update, or delete the codes as needed to maintain control over ticket access.
