    Designing your tickets is one of the most essential steps in building a successful event. Whether you're creating a yoga retreat, breathwork immersion, meditation workshop, kirtan concert, or multi-day festival, your ticket structure shapes how your attendees understand — and move toward — your offering.
    ‍

    BrightStar gives you a flexible, intuitive way to create Early Bird tickets, VIP passes, donation-based options, tiered pricing, sliding scale tickets, and more — all in a beautifully organized flow designed for conscious creators.
    ‍

    This guide walks you through Step 4 — Tickets in the BrightStar event creation process.
    ‍

    🌼 Step-by-Step Ticket Creation Guide


    1. Navigate to Step 4: Tickets


    After setting up your event details, simply move to Step 4 — Tickets in the left-side creation flow.
    ‍

    Click “Add Ticket” to begin.
    ‍

    🌱 2. Enter Your Ticket Details


    Ticket Name


    Examples:

    • General Admission
    • Early Bird
    • VIP Experience
    • Friday Night Only
    • Meal Add-On
    • Onsite Lodging
      ‍

    Use clear, concise names to reduce buyer hesitation and increase conversions.

    ‍

    Quantity Available


    Choose to limit your ticket inventory or leave it unlimited.
    ‍

    Limiting quantities can create:

    • urgency,
    • clarity, and
    • mindful pacing for your ticket release.
      ‍

    🌿 3. Group Tickets Using Categories (Optional but Recommended)


    If your event includes many choices — meals, lodging, add-ons, day passes, VIP tiers — categories help attendees feel calm and oriented.
    ‍

    Popular categories include:

    • Admission
    • Onsite Lodging
    • Meals & Add-Ons
    • Workshops / Sessions
    • Scholarship & Donation Tiers
      ‍

    To manage or create categories, click the filter icon next to “Ticket Types.”
    ‍

    🌙 4. Customize Your Ticket Behavior


    These settings help shape the flow of your attendee experience.
    ‍

    Max Tickets Per Transaction


    Limit how many of each ticket can be purchased at once.
    Examples:

    • VIP: Max 1
    • General Admission: Max 10
      ‍

    Currency


    Select your event’s currency from the dropdown.
    ‍

    Click “Add Coupon” to create discount codes — helpful for:

    • Early Bird promos
    • Influencer partnerships
    • Street team incentives
    • Special community rates
      ‍

    Who Pays the Service Fee?


    You choose:

    • Buyer pays (most common), or
    • Organizer absorbs (useful for donation-based or spiritual/community-focused events)
      ‍

    Collect Mailing Address?


    Toggle Yes/No depending on your needs.

    💡 BrightStar Tips for Conscious Organizers


    1. Clear Naming Creates Ease


    The fewer questions buyers have, the smoother the checkout flow.
    ‍

    2. Categories Reduce Cognitive Load


    Separation creates calm — essential for events with meals, lodging, or multi-day options.
    ‍

    3. Time-Sensitive Tiers Create Momentum


    Early Bird tiers help build energy and financial grounding early in your sales cycle.
    ‍

    4. Keep Your Audience in Mind


    Conscious communities often appreciate:

    • donation tiers
    • community supporter pricing
    • pay-it-forward options
    • zero-barrier scholarship tickets
      ‍

    These deepen resonance and increase attendance.
    ‍

    🙏 Final Thought


    Every ticket is more than a purchase — it’s an opening, a doorway into presence.


    When you create your ticket structure clearly and lovingly, those meant to attend your offering feel it immediately. Your event begins long before anyone arrives; it begins here, with the care you bring to each step.


    BrightStar is honored to be the platform that supports your work.
