Promo codes can be used to offer discounts on tickets to your customers. They can be used across all your events, limited to specific events, or limited to specific tickets within an event.
Promo code discounts are applied per ticket. You can restrict the total number of tickets that can be discounted, and you can limit the total number of tickets that can be discounted with the code in one order.
Create a Promo Code
Navigate to the Promote tab in the main navigation and click on the Promo Codes card. If this is your first Promo Code click "Add A Promo Code" or click the "+" button to begin the Promo Code creation workflow.
Promo Type
There are 3 different types of Promo Codes you can create. Select a Promo Type and click Continue to move to the Promo Code details.
Details
After selecting your Promo Type you will be presented with the details. Here you will configure the basic settings for your Promo Code.
- Name - name your Promo Code something specific that distinguishes exactly what it is (i.e. Holiday Special, 18-19 Season Discount, Half Off Friday, etc.).
- Promo Code - this is the actual code that customers will enter to receive the discount. The code is not case-sensitive.
- Discount Type - select the type of discount you want. It can be a percent off, dollar off, or comp. Remember this is an amount off per ticket. If comp is selected, the ticket is free and there is no ticket fee.
- Amount - designate the amount of the discount (see options below).
- Start Date/Time - this will default to the current time. If you don’t want this Promo Code to start yet, set it to a future date.
- End Date/Time - this is an optional field. Set an expiration date or leave it blank and the Promo Code will never expire.
When you have configured the details for your Promo Code, click Continue to move on.
Currently not available:
- limit the amount of times a specific user can use a promo code

Constraints
Constraints allow you to implement usage limits or restrictions to your Promo Code. If you enter a Total Tickets Limit your Promo Code will no longer be valid once the limit is hit. This is an optional field that can be left blank for unlimited use.
The other option is to limit the number of tickets that can be discounted in any given order.
