Learn how to make tickets available for early birds before regular sales of your admission tickets.
Early Bird Tickets
Early Bird Tickets are discounted or limited-time tickets typically sold before your regular tickets go on sale. You can add them just like any other ticket — just set an earlier Availability and, optionally, limit the Quantity.
Templates handle this automatically
If your event website uses a template, early bird tickets display automatically once they become available. No extra setup is needed.
Add an Early Bird Ticket
- From Tickets, click Add Ticket Item.
- Assign a unique Item# to the ticket, such as
EARLYBIRDTICKET.

- Set Tickets Per Sale to define how many admissions are included in the ticket purchase — enter

- To sell early bird tickets before event night, set the Override online bidding/sales start field to a date and time before the event begins.
- To end early bird sales before the event, set the Override online bidding/sales end field to a date and time before the event begins.
