How to sell passes and a series ticket page

Give a show series one ticket page listing every upcoming show, sell passes good for several shows (like 5 shows for $50), give passes away, and copy one show's ticket setup to the rest.

Up to date as of GigTools version 2.1.182

For a show that repeats, like a weekly comedy night, a show series can have its own ticket page and sell passes. It's part of selling tickets to your own show (Member plan and up). Open the series from Show series and find the Tickets & passes card.

The series ticket page

Tick Public ticket page for this series, add an optional Intro, and click Save. The page lists every upcoming public show in the series, with its date, its lowest price and a Tickets button to that show's event page, plus your passes. Use Copy link to share it or put it on your website.

Set up tickets for every show at once

Set up tickets on one show first (see How to sell tickets to your own show). Back on the series, under Copy ticket setup, pick that show and click Copy ticket setup. Every upcoming show in the series without tickets gets the same ticket types, extras and sale settings, and is made public. Shows that already have tickets are left alone. Price steps by date aren't copied, since the dates differ for each show.

Passes

A pass is one code good for several tickets at any show in the series. Click + Add a pass:

  • Name and Price, like "5-show pass" for $50.
  • Tickets it covers: how many free tickets the code is good for in all.
  • How many to sell (empty: no limit) and Use by (optional).

Buyers buy a pass on the series ticket page and pay on a secure Stripe page (the money goes to your Stripe account, like tickets). They get an email with their pass code and a link to their pass page, which shows how many tickets are left and which shows they used it for.

Using a pass

At any show in the series, the buyer picks their tickets and enters the pass code under Have a code? Each ticket the pass covers is free (no fee); any extra tickets are charged as usual. Their tickets come by email as normal, with QR codes for the door, and the pass counts down.

Pass holders

The card lists everyone with a pass: the code, how many tickets they've used and what they paid. Email pass sends it again. + Give a pass gives one away for free, for a regular, a sponsor or a prize; add an email address to send the code. Stop selling takes a pass off the page; passes already bought still work.

Refund or cancel a pass

Under a paid pass, click Refund. The share of the pass that hasn't been used is filled in (change it if you like), and Refund at Stripe sends it back to the buyer's card and emails them. A given (free) pass has Cancel pass instead. Either way the pass code stops working; tickets already issued with it stay good.
