Create a code that gives a discount or reveals hidden tickets

Use Eventbrite to create codes for your event that grant discounts or reveal hidden tickets. To get started, go to “Tickets” and select “Promo codes”. Then, create new codes or view existing codes.

Go to &quot;Promo codes&quot; (under &quot;Tickets&quot;).</h2> <h2 id="03">3. Select &quot;Add code&quot;.</h2> <h2 id="04">4. Enter a code name.</h2> <p>This is what attendees enter during checkout. For example, if your code gives a 10% discount, your code name could be “SAVE10”.</p> <h2 id="05">5. Set limits for your promo code.</h2> <p>There are two ways to limit the use of your codes:</p> <ul><li>Change the <b>Ticket limit</b>. This invalidates your code after it’s used on a certain amount of tickets.</li><li>Set a start and/or end date. The code won’t be valid outside of the date(s) you set.</li></ul> <p>Otherwise, your code is usable as long as tickets are available.</p> <h2 id="06">6. Optional: Use your code to reveal hidden ticket types.</h2> <p>If you have hidden tickets you want this code to reveal, turn on <b>Reveal hidden tickets during checkout</b>.<br><br>To hide a ticket type:</p> <ol><li>Go to <b>Tickets</b>.</li><li>Click the name of your ticket type.</li><li>Click <b>Advanced settings</b>.</li><li>Change the visibility to <b>Hidden</b>.</li></ol> <p>If you need to discount hidden and visible ticket types, create a separate code for each.</p> <h2 id="07">7. Set a discount amount.</h2> <p>Discount tickets by a percentage of the ticket price or by a set amount. If a ticket’s price is reduced completely, the ticket will be free.</p> <p>For codes that reveal hidden tickets, this step is optional.</p> <p class="text-small l-pad-vert-2 l-pad-hor-2 card l-mar-top-2"><b>NOTE:</b> Discounts do not apply to <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/support/articleredirect?anum=6474" target="_blank">donation tickets</a>.</p> <h2 id="08">8.
