If you wish to create a Multi-ticket option e.g. a Family Ticket or a Table of Six please ensure that the Face value price entered multiplies to the total cost of your Multi-ticket.
- For example, if your Family ticket costs $100, the Face Value ticket price should be set at $25. This ensures that each of the four ticketholders attending your event are counted in your capacity per session.
