Selling group tickets
A group page also handles group tickets: one person buying for
several people. The buyer chooses a quantity for each listing, and
the maximum per purchase caps
what one order can take. One payment covers the whole group.
On a booking that spans several events, buyers answer each custom
question once per order rather than
once per listing.
Tiered ticket types with shared capacity
Use max attendees per group to set a shared capacity cap across
multiple events in a group. This lets you create tiered ticket types
that share the same stock. For example:
- VIP + General Admission - create two events in a group with a
shared cap of 200. Set the VIP event to a max of 50 and price it
higher. Once 200 total attendees are reached across both tiers,
both stop selling.
- Early Bird + Standard - offer a lower-priced early bird event
with a small cap, then a standard-priced event sharing the same
overall venue capacity.
- Adult + Child + Concession - multiple price points for the
same event, all counting against one venue limit.
Each event in the group can have its own price, description, and
individual cap. The group maximum is rechecked when payment confirmation
arrives. A paid order that no longer fits is refunded automatically.
A group can also keep its hidden tiers off the group's public page.
The tiers stay bookable through their own links.
One scanner session covers the whole group. A door volunteer with a
scanner login can check people in across every
listing in the group, so a multi-day festival, a multi-venue event
or a weekend programme runs on one door list.
Example
Crumpsall Folk Club sells
each club night as a £5 normal ticket, a £10 solidarity ticket and a
£2 concession, each its own listing. Put in one group with a shared
maximum equal to the room's size, three price points like these stop
selling together when the room is full, whichever mix of tickets sold.
Limits
Shared capacity counts places, not seats, so a group cannot sell named
seats or seating sections. The shared maximum is checked when payment
confirmation arrives rather than held during checkout, so if two
payments race for the last place, the later one is refunded
automatically.
Daily events
For events that run on specific dates (classes, workshops, recurring
sessions), daily events offer per-date capacity with a built-in calendar
picker, and you can set holiday and blackout dates to prevent bookings
on certain days.
Organisation
Groups help you keep your admin tidy too. The admin listings and
attendees pages can be filtered to one group, and a CSV download from
a filtered page holds only that group's rows. Each group also gets its
own public page listing all its events.
