To create a Table or Sponsorship Ticket option:
To set up a table ticket package or a sponsorship package, complete the following steps when creating this ticket option:
Ticket Name – “Table for 8” or “Premium Sponsor Table for 8”
Price Per Ticket – this is the total price for this ticket package option. (If the table costs $2000, enter that.)
Ticket Description – Enter any details about this ticket package and what they get. (For example: 8 seats at table near stage, logo in program, acknowledgement during live program, etc.)
Total Quantity For Sale – Enter how many of these ticket packages are available. (If there are 5 of these tables available, put 5).
Guests per Ticket – This is where you put how many seats come with this ticket package. So if there are 8 seats included in the sponsorship package, put 8.
Max/Min Tickets Per Order – can people buy more than 1 table at a time? Set the number of tables/sponsorships they can order at once.
