  • Ticket Name: Under “Ticket Name” you have the ability to add multiple tiers of tickets to your event. For example: if you wanted to offer different types of seating options.

  • Total Available: This is the inventory that you have per ticket type. Once the availability hits zero, this ticket will be sold out.

  • Price: This is the price per ticket. If you add multiple ticket types, you can also have different prices.

  • Maximum Tickets Per Purchase: This varies based on your template, but this function allows you to set a cap for the number of tickets one customer can purchase.

  • Tax Options: You can check this box if you need to charge tax for this event. BentoBox will automatically pull the tax rate set by your shipping settings.
