 - In person access will provide a QR code to scan in attendees in at the venue.

- Virtual access provides a code of letters and numbers, unique to every person, for them to enter their event.

- Hybrid means you have both in-person and virtual components to your event and would like to give a code for both.

- No access is for just paywall purposes; no event access is needed. This is popular for selling merchandise and sponsorships.

- Add On's may be anyone of these ticket types but will be offered as an additional deal in a second window before checkout. You will be able to designate if all tickets trigger this additional offer, or if specific tickets will trigger the upsell.

Step 3: Decide how you want to price your tickets:

Step 14: Decide if you need to create promotional codes. 

• Discount code: For multiple uses, discounts anyone who uses it. This is great for social media, where one code can be applied at checkout by all followers who have it.
• Sales code: Sets your ticket on sale; the original price is marked down at checkout for everyone to see the new price.
• Free one-time use code: Grants free access to that one person using it. It can only be used once. Up to 75 free entries are allowed per event only. 

Free registrations past this limit must be requested and approved by the sales team. Please get in touch with your sales representative or contact sales@viewstub.com for an increase in your ticket limit.
