You can manually add tickets to a contact record and tie in the associated contribution if you have circumstances where attendees are not able to use your form. This might happen, for example, if your attendee is paying for a Ticketed Event with cash or check or if they ask for a last-minute addition of a guest to their registration. Once you've manually added the information to the event, you'll be able to see it in your searches and event results reports. However, since your contacts are not using your Online Actions Event form, it will not update your event form totals or be included in any results for your forms.
 

Adding events and tickets to a contact record

To add someone to an event, open their Events section from their contact details. Select Schedule for Events and then filter and find the event you want.

To add them to the event, select a Status (Invited, Scheduled, Confirmed, etc).

After you Save & Close, you will see the event added to your contact record.

If you need to add a new guest, that is associated with them, you can use the action menu to select Manage Tickets.

Adding Multiple Participants

If you want to add multiple participates at once, you can do that from the Event details page. Open the Event List from the Sidebar and then click on the name of the event you want to update.


Use the Participant Actions dropdown and select Add Participants.

When I select Add New Ticket and then fill in the information for an event participant’s guest, I need to be able to see them on the full list of the Event Participants, otherwise going into each ticket purchaser’s account is going to be more work than using Excel. It would also be nice if, based on their ticket purchase, I could limit the guest count so that I could easily reference how many seats they need. I also want to be able to gather more information on their guests such as email and dietary preferences and ideally to be able to add them to EA after our event so we can send them a letter thanking them for their attendance.

Hi again, ​@LeeY! Responding here too for visibility. Unfortunately, I don’t believe there is a way on the form to limit the guest count, but I will check on that for you. You are able to create custom questions to gather more info like email and dietary preferences by checking the “additional information” tab and creating questions that way. Also, you will be able to use the Ticketed Guest Report to show you every ticket purchaser alongside the guest names they entered.
