1. Go to the Ticket section
From the left-hand menu, click Tickets / Fund-A-Need, then select Add Ticket.
2. Enter the ticket details
Ticket Name – Enter the name of the ticket (for example: Event Admission, Fundraising Draw Entry, or Fund-A-Need Donation).
Description – Add any details you want bidders to see about this ticket.
Starting Amount of Tickets – Enter how many tickets are available.
If you're unsure, it’s best to enter a higher number so tickets don’t accidentally sell out.
3. Choose the ticket type
The system offers several ticket types:
Admission – Event tickets (individual, couple, dinner option, etc.)
Complimentary – $0 tickets used internally to track attendees (these are automatically hidden from bidders)
Fundraising Draw (Raffle) – Sell draw entries, and the system can randomly select the winners
Paddle Raise / Fund-A-Need – Record donations to attendees’ invoices (often used internally but can remain visible on the site if desired)
Other – Used for items such as sponsorships, merchandise, experiences, or table sales
Examples of Other tickets include:
Sponsorship levels or reserved tables
Merchandise (for example: hats, shirts, etc.)
Experiences with limited seats (such as Dinner with a Chef for 10 guests at $25 per seat or Pizza Party with Ms. Smith’s class)
4. Hide the ticket (optional)
You can select “Hide Ticket from Bidders” if the ticket is meant for back-office use only.
5. Set pricing tiers (optional) - think 50/50 tickets
If you'd like to offer discounts for multiple purchases, you can create pricing tiers.
Example:
1 entry for $5
3 entries for $10
If you're selling tickets at a single price, you only need one pricing tier.
