(Last updated 8/19/24) When creating ticket types for your event, there are three different visibility settings on PromoTix: Public 👉 ticket type is available both publicly online and using the private point-of-sale system. Private 👉 ticket type is only available for sale using the private point-of-sale system. Password-protected 👉 ticket type is hidden online until a password is entered making the ticket type visible. Also available for sale using the private point-of-sale system. Creating a password-protected ticket type is a great way to offer special discounted tickets to an exclusive group of people. Follow these instructions to create your first password-protected ticket type. NOTE: using password-protected ticket types for high demand on-sales is currently not supported.
