A ticket type in Tixly is the name for a price category. It is created once and can then be used in an unlimited number of events and be priced individually per event. It is also possible to create price templates if you have many events with fixed price structures.
A ticket layout defines the design of the ticket. A specific layout can be added to several events, but also to individual ticket types within an event. So different types of of ticket types can have different layouts.
Create ticket types
To create a new ticket type, navigate to Administration - Tickets - Ticket types and click Add ticket type in the upper right corner.
Information
- Name: Ticket type name is visible in sales view (online and box office), administration, reports and on the printed ticket*.
- Group: A group is used for filtering options in reports. We recommend that you at least use the groups: Standard, Subscription, Free tickets and Campaigns. Groups are created under Administration - Tickets - Groups
- Type: Defines if the ticket type should be used for normal events or in subscriptions. A ticket type of the type Subscription is not shown in regular sales and vice versa. It is however also possible to set the ticket type as Both making it visible in both sales.
- Default: If set to Yes, the ticket type is shown as the first ticket type in sales (online and Box Office).
- Online quantity rule: If a certain ticket type is always used with the same online quantity rule (e.g. group tickets always have the rule 10-99), it can be defined here and always applied to the ticket type when it is added to an event. Note that the rule can still be be changed in edit event.
- Position: A position can be set to position the ticket type relative to one another.
- Offset Every Seat: Used together with social distancing. If set to Yes, every seat that is sold will have a distance from each other, not just distance between orders.

It is possible to activate access rights on ticket types to define which specific users should have access to the ticket type. If no users are selected, all users with sales access will have access to the ticket type provided that the user has access to an event that uses the type.
