🎟️ Discount Codes

Everything you need to know about creating Promotions and Discount Codes.

Want to give your customers a treat or encourage a few last-minute sales? 🎉 Discount Codes are a great way to offer customers a discount on one or more tickets.

Each Promotion you create can include one or multiple Discount Codes, giving you flexibility over how you distribute your offers.


🚀 How to create a Promotion

To get started:

  1. Head to the Promotion Centre.

  2. Select the event you'd like to add discounts to.

  3. Click Manage Tickets on the left-hand side.

  4. Select Discount Codes.

  5. Click Create One Here.

You'll then be taken to the Promotions dashboard where you can set up your offer.


💷 Set your discount

Start by giving your Promotion a name.

You can then choose whether you'd like to offer:

  • Percentage discount – e.g. 20% off

  • Fixed amount – e.g. £5 off

Depending on your selection, enter the percentage or amount you would like to offer.


🎟️ Choose which tickets are eligible

You can decide which tickets your Promotion applies to.

Choose from:

  • All tickets currently on sale

  • Selected tickets

  • All tickets except those you choose to exclude

This gives you control over exactly which tickets customers can use their Discount Code against.


🔢 Set the Discount Code usage

You can choose how many times your Discount Code(s) can be used.

🔒 Limited

Set a fixed number of uses.

Usage limits apply per individual Discount Code.

For example, if you create 5 different codes with a usage limit of 100, there could be up to 500 discounted orders.

♾️ Unlimited

Each individual Discount Code can be used an unlimited number of times.

💡 Important: Discount Code usage is tracked per order, not per ticket. If a customer purchases multiple eligible tickets in one order, this counts as one use of the code, but the discount will apply to all eligible tickets in that order.

Customers can only use one Discount Code per order.


🔑 Add your Discount Codes

Scroll down to the Discount Codes section.

You can either:

✍️ Create your own codes – enter each code on a separate line.

or

Generate codes automatically – use the Generate button to create as many codes as you need.

The Generate option is particularly useful if you're creating lots of single-use codes.


📅 Event Series & Session-Based Promotions

Setting up a Promotion for an Event Series or Session-Based Event works in much the same way as a standard event.

The main difference is that you can also choose which Dates the Promotion applies to.

📆 All Dates

Select All Dates if you want the Discount Code to be redeemable across every Date in your Event Series.

✅ Selected Dates

Choose Selected Dates if you only want the Discount Code to work on specific Dates.

You can then select which Dates are eligible.

🚫 All but excluded Dates

Alternatively, select All but excluded Dates and choose which Dates you don't want the Discount Code to work on.

This is particularly useful when you want to offer a discount across an Event Series but exclude specific dates, such as peak periods or special events.


💡 Useful to know

Discount Codes give you plenty of flexibility when promoting your event. You can create different codes for different audiences, control how many times they're used and decide exactly which tickets and Dates they're valid for.
