Create your event

Standard Sale
Attendees can purchase tickets or register for free events using a standard checkout process.

Donation
Allows your patrons to make a donation directly to you. There are no service fees attached to donations made this way, but donations can only be made for events using payment options other than Brown Paper Tickets' Credit Card Processing. Payment options can be set on the Payments screen.

Donations may not be used for admission.

Fixed Price
Attendees will pay the exact value entered in the Price field, plus any applicable service fees.

Variable Price
Attendees can choose to pay the value set in the Price field or any amount higher. This is commonly refered to as "Pay-what-you-can" pricing.

Choose whether the service fee is added to the ticket price and paid by the buyer, or subtracted from the ticket price and paid by you. Obviously, this doesn't apply to free admission levels or Donations, since there is no service fee for either.

When enabled, this price will be removed from the event page and ticket widget when the price sells out or sales for the price end.

This feature allows you to automatically reduce the price shortly before the date's sales end to help sell any remaining inventory. Prices with a Last-Minute Discount will be promoted on Brown Paper Tickets' Last-Minute Discount Mailing List and listed in Last-Minute Discount searches.

Please enter the maximum number of tickets available for this admission level or set to "Same As Date" to use the Date Max Sales as the limit.

Use this option to hide the price from the public. This can be used to create a separate admission level for recording specialty tickets through our Box Office system or for pre-creating admission levels that can be manually activated at a later time.

Password
If a password is entered in this field, the admission level will not be displayed unless the buyer enters this password on the event page. If multiple admission levels use the same password, they will all be displayed to users entering that password.

Passwords should consist solely of letters and/or numbers (no spaces or special characters such as $ # @ % & etc.).

Use this to set a specific start time for this admission level or choose "Immediately" to offer this admission level as soon as sales become active for the date.

Use this to set a specific end time for this admission level or choose "Same as date" to offer this admission level until sales end for the date.

Set a maximum quantity that can be purchased in a single order. The default maximum is 50.

Set a minimum quantity that must be purchased at one time. This can be used in conjunction with the Max Per Order option to set a specific quantity that users may purchase, such as for a "Table of 10" admission level.

This option can be used to require attendees to purchase in multiples, such as for a "buy-two-get-one-free" admission level.

You may enter unique codes that can be used to purchase tickets at this price. This is commonly used for discounted "fan club tickets" or for ticket giveaways.

The admission level will not be displayed until a user enters a valid discount code.

If a Max Per Order is also set, this will be the maximum quantity that can be purchased using a single code.

Codes may be up to 25 characters long and should consist solely of letters and/or numbers (no spaces or special characters such as $ # @ % & etc.). Please note that codes are case-sensitive.

Enter one code per line.

When you select an admission level from the drop-down menu, this admission level will only become active and visible when the selected admission level sells out. This is commonly used to offer "early bird" discount tickets.

For events with multiple dates, the tiered price only becomes active when the selected price sells out for that specific date.

There are no additional processing fees for collecting ticket sales with the Brown Paper Tickets Credit Card Processor.

Payment is issued within ten (10) business days after your event or event date ends. Brown Paper Tickets issues payments electronically using the banking information in your Financial Settings. To avoid delays in payment, make sure your Financial Settings are complete and up-to-date.

The Brown Paper Tickets Secured Funds Program provides protection to both event organizers and ticket buyers. We have partnered with our credit card processor to ensure that ticket sales are held in reserve until after the event has completed successfully.

PLEASE NOTE:

• Only one credit card processing option (either Brown Paper Tickets' processor or your own processor) can be enabled for each event. PayPal can be enabled in addition to either credit card processor.
• Brown Paper Tickets cannot issue payment for an event which has not yet taken place and/or an event which has been cancelled.
• The BPT Credit Card Processor may only be used to sell admission for an event. If you have questions about collecting donations or selling raffle tickets, merchandise, etc., please contact support@brownpapertickets.com.
• For US and Canadian Event Organizers: If you are an educational institution/organization that requires payment via physical check, please contact support@brownpapertickets.com for assistance.
• Terms of Usage

You can collect payments directly through your own credit card processor using the Authorize.net, PayFlow, PayPros, or USAePay gateways. At the time of the transaction, you will receive the entire value of the order, including the Brown Paper Tickets' service fee. When your event ends, you will be sent an electronic invoice for the value of our service fee.

Note that only one credit card processing option (either Brown Paper Tickets' processor or your own processor) can be enabled for each event. PayPal can be enabled in addition to either credit card processor.

You can allow your attendees to pay you directly using your verified PayPal account.

Events offering PayPal as the only payment option will not be available through our mobile website. Mobile buyers will be routed to the standard website to complete their payment.
