A free ticket allows attendees to register for your event at no cost. Buyers go through a simplified checkout with no payment step and receive a QR code ticket by email. There are no fees for the organizer or the attendee on free tickets.
Create a free ticket tierFree tickets use the same form as any other ticket tier. The only difference is the price field.
- Open the ticket creation form, either on theTickets & AddOnsstep when creating an event, or fromMy Events → Live Events → Manage Ticketson an existing event.
- Enter a name in theTicket Namefield, for example "General Admission" or "Free Entry".
- SetAvailable Ticketsto the number of places you want to offer.
- Set theMaximum number of tickets for each customerto limit how many one person can claim.
- Add aDescriptionif needed.
- Enter0in theTicket Pricefield.
- ClickSubmit.
The ticket tier will show as free on your event page and buyers will see "Free Ticket" on their ticket confirmation.
What the attendee experience looks likeWhen a buyer selects a free ticket and proceeds to checkout, they will not be asked for payment details. They confirm their order and receive a QR code ticket by email. They can also find the ticket in theTicketssection of their ShowRave account.
Free events and mixed eventsIf all your ticket tiers are set to zero, your event is effectively free to attend. You can also mix free and paid tiers on the same event, for example, a free General Admission tier alongside a paid VIP tier.
If you do not add any ticket tiers at all when creating an event, we will create a default free entry ticket automatically.
