If the tools or features mentioned in this article are unavailable to you, please speak to your Dashboard Admin(s) about updating your permissions.  This is a comprehensive guide to ActBlue Core's event forms, used to sell and track tickets while keeping fundraising in one place. It covers creating an event form (title, link, customer service email, in-person vs. virtual), adding event details and ticket levels (pricing, quantity limits, per-transaction limits, post-purchase questions, free tickets), the built-in "Can't Attend?" donation option, timezone behavior for event start times, editing/re-ordering/archiving ticket levels, viewing and downloading the guest list, sharing the form and promoting it via host refcodes, and running at-the-door sales using a private/incognito browser window.  ### **In this article:** 1.

Using ActBlue's **event forms** tool, you can easily sell and track tickets for an event and keep all of your fundraising in one place. Your donors can buy tickets using all the same payment methods they can use on regular contribution forms, including their debit/credit card, the saved card in their ActBlue Express account, PayPal™, Google Pay™, Apple Pay®, and Venmo™.  --- ### **How do I create an event form?** To create a new event form, simply log onto your Dashboard and click the **Create Form** button in the top left corner:  ![](https://actblue-img.s3.amazonaws.com/support.actblue.com/For+Campaigns+and+Organizations/EventsandMerch/SellingTickets/event_WizUpdate_1.png)   Next, select **Event Form** from the form type options provided:  ![](https://actblue-img.s3.amazonaws.com/support.actblue.com/For+Campaigns+and+Organizations/EventsandMerch/SellingTickets/Selling.tickets+update+6-22/event+form.png) Once you've selected event form, you'll need to provide a title, link name, and customer service email address for your new form. Don't worry if you haven't settled on a final title yet - you can always change it later! We ask that you provide a customer service email address so our support team can contact you if a donor has questions about your event. You can also fill in your **donation ask** on this page.  Additionally, you will be required to indicate whether your event is in-person or virtual. After you finish filling out the basic information for your event form, click **Publish Now** to complete the form creation process. While your form will become live as soon as you publish it, we strongly recommend ensuring that all ticket levels and event details are fully added to your form before actively sharing it with your supporters.  --- ### **How do I add event details and ticket levels to my form?** To add event details and make other edits to your form, simply open up your form and click the blue **Edit** button in the top left corner. This will open up the **Form Editor** and the following menu:  ![](https://actblue-img.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/support.actblue.com/For+Campaigns+and+Organizations/WorkingWithForms/SellingTickets/FormEditorNoEntryMode.13.18%E2%80%AFPM.png) From here, you can add or edit your event form's title, link, and donation ask by clicking on the **Title, Ask, and URL** tab: ![”image](https://actblue-img.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/support.actblue.com/For+Campaigns+and+Organizations/WorkingWithForms/SellingTickets/TitleAskAndURL.png) Generally, you should treat the donation ask as an overview of your event. If your event includes speakers or a program agenda, we recommend adding that information in the donation askfield so that attendees have all the details they need before they purchase a ticket. Make sure to save any changes you make by clicking the green **Publish** button as you work! Next, add your ticket levels by clicking the **Tickets** tab:  ![](https://actblue-img.s3.amazonaws.com/support.actblue.com/For+Campaigns+and+Organizations/EventsandMerch/SellingTickets/Selling.tickets+update+6-22/tickets.png) To create a new ticket level, click the green **Add Ticket Type** button: ![”image](https://actblue-img.s3.amazonaws.com/support.actblue.com/For+Campaigns+and+Organizations/EventsandMerch/SellingTickets/Selling.tickets+update+6-22/add+tick.type.png) Fill out your new ticket's name, description, price, and number in the spaces provided. If you want to limit the amount of tickets that can be purchased for a specific ticket level, select **Limited Number** from the dropdown and then enter the specific number of tickets that can be sold for this ticket type. Once you reach the limit, that ticket type will sell out and the option will be automatically removed from the form. If you ever need to increase the limit you entered, you can do so by editing the ticket level later.   ![”image](https://actblue-img.s3.amazonaws.com/support.actblue.com/For+Campaigns+and+Organizations/EventsandMerch/SellingTickets/Selling.tickets+update+6-22/lim+number.png) You can also set a per transaction limit on tickets by selecting a number from the **Max of this Ticket Type Per Transaction** dropdown. This will prevent a donor from buying more than one single kind of ticket in one transaction:  ![](https://actblue-img.s3.amazonaws.com/support.actblue.com/For+Campaigns+and+Organizations/EventsandMerch/SellingTickets/Ticketlimitupdate.png) Lastly, if you'd like to ask your guests a question post-purchase (ex. what meal they'd like at a dinner event), include that question in the **Post-Purchase Question** box: ![”image](https://actblue-img.s3.amazonaws.com/support.actblue.com/For+Campaigns+and+Organizations/WorkingWithForms/SellingTickets/image5.png) Once you've finished filling out the information for your ticket level, be sure to click **Done** and then **Publish** to save your changes.   If you want to include an option for free tickets, add a ticket type and leave the **Price** field blank. The ticket price for this ticket option will then appear on your form as **“Free!”** ![”image](https://actblue-img.s3.amazonaws.com/support.actblue.com/For+Campaigns+and+Organizations/EventsandMerch/SellingTickets/Selling.tickets+update+6-22/select.tickets.png) The **“Can’t Attend?”** donation box will also appear underneath your ticket levels to enable supporters to contribute even if they can’t attend your event. Please note that this donation box is included on every ActBlue event form and cannot be removed. Additionally, after a ticket quantity has been selected, the **"Can't Attend?"** language will automatically change to **"Make an additional donation,"** allowing donors to make a donation alongside their ticket purchase. After purchasing a ticket, donors will be asked to provide the name(s) of the guest(s) attending and any notes they may have. Donors will also be given the option to add your event to their Google, Apple, or Outlook calendar by clicking the **Add to Calendar** button at the top of the receipt page.  ![Screenshot of the ticket receipt page which shows the Add to Calendar button.](https://actblue-img.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/help.actblue.com/Selling+Tickets+to+Event+Forms/Screenshot+2025-04-30+at+4.31.06%E2%80%AFPM.png) Creating ticket levels will also trigger the **Event Details** tab to appear:  ![](https://actblue-img.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/support.actblue.com/For+Campaigns+and+Organizations/WorkingWithForms/SellingTickets/FormEditorUpdated-2.png) Here, you can include your event's start and end time and the type of event you'll be hosting (virtual or in-person). If you’re hosting a virtual event, you’ll also be required to include the link in the **Event Details** tab**.** Please note that the event link will only be available via the receipt your donor receives post-purchase and will not appear publicly on the form. #### **A Note on Timezones** When setting the start time for your event, please note that the timezone for your form will default to the form creator's local timezone (ex. if the team member who created your form is located in California, the form's timezone will automatically be set to PST). If a donor from a different location views your event form, they should automatically see your event's set start time displayed in their local timezone (ex. if your event is set to start at 10am PST, a New York donor will see the start time displayed as 1pm EST).  **This change does not extend to the confirmation receipt your donor will receive via email**, meaning that if a donor purchases a ticket through your event form, the start time listed in their confirmation email will still be in the form's original timezone (ex. if your event is set to start at 10am PST, a New York donor will see the start time on the form displayed as 1pm EST, but will receive a confirmation email indicating the event begins at 10am PST).  --- ### **What if I want to provide specific event information to ticket purchasers only?** If you have certain information that you’d prefer to keep private (such as the address for a high-profile event), we recommend including it in the email receipt text for your form vs the **Event Details** tab. This will ensure that only guests who purchase tickets to your event will have access to your event information.  If you choose to go this route, we strongly suggest including a line in your donation ask text explaining what information will be sent to guests post-purchase. This will help prevent guest confusion leading up to your event.  To edit your email receipt text, open up the **Form Editor** and select the **Thanks and Receipt** tab from the options provided:  ![](https://actblue-img.s3.amazonaws.com/support.actblue.com/For+Campaigns+and+Organizations/EventsandMerch/SellingTickets/Selling.tickets+update+6-22/thanks%2Breceipt.png) Next, write your message in the **Email Receipt Content** box and publish your changes. You can also send a sample receipt to yourself here.  ![”image](https://actblue-img.s3.amazonaws.com/support.actblue.com/For+Campaigns+and+Organizations/WorkingWithForms/SellingTickets/image18.png)   --- ### **How do I re-arrange, edit, or delete ticket levels?** If you need to make changes to a ticket type after creating it, open up the **Form Editor** and select **Tickets** from the options provided:  ![](https://actblue-img.s3.amazonaws.com/support.actblue.com/For+Campaigns+and+Organizations/EventsandMerch/SellingTickets/Selling.tickets+update+6-22/tickets.png) Next, identify the ticket level you'd like to edit and then click on the pencil icon to make your changes: ![”image](https://actblue-img.s3.amazonaws.com/support.actblue.com/For+Campaigns+and+Organizations/EventsandMerch/SellingTickets/Selling.tickets+update+6-22/pencil.png) To remove a ticket level from your form, click the black box/archive icon. You can also restore an archived ticket level by clicking the arrow icon that will appear in the box's place:  ![”image](https://actblue-img.s3.amazonaws.com/support.actblue.com/For+Campaigns+and+Organizations/EventsandMerch/SellingTickets/Selling.tickets+update+6-22/archive.png) To change the order of tickets on your form, simply drag and drop your ticket levels and then click the green **Publish** button.  --- ### **Where can I view guest information for my event form?** To view your event form's guest list, simply open up your form and click the **Guests** tab at the top of the page. The **Guests** tab will display a list of all guests attending your events, along with their notes or responses to your **Post-Purchase Question**. You'll also be given the option to download a copy of the guest list as a PDF or CSV: ![”image](https://actblue-img.s3.amazonaws.com/support.actblue.com/For+Campaigns+and+Organizations/EventsandMerch/SellingTickets/Selling.tickets+update+6-22/guest+list.png)   --- ### **How can I share and promote my event form?** If you want to share your event form's link with potential supporters, simply open up your event form and copy and paste the URL displayed in the address bar.  If you’re having hosts sell tickets on your behalf, click the **More** dropdown at the top of your form and then select **Promote** from the dropdown:   ![”image](https://actblue-img.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/support.actblue.com/For+Campaigns+and+Organizations/WorkingWithForms/SellingTickets/GuestsInTopNav.png)   Here, you can create custom links for your event form that each host can use to sell tickets. To do this, type the host’s name (or other identifying feature) in the **Refcode** box provided and then copy and paste the new URL: ![](https://actblue-img.s3.amazonaws.com/support.actblue.com/For+Campaigns+and+Organizations/PreSetRecurringUpdates/daverefcode.png) Every guest who uses a host’s custom link to buy a ticket will then be tagged with the host's refcode, ensuring you're able to track which tickets were purchased through which link. To learn more about refcodes, [check out this guide](https://help.actblue.com/hc/en-us/articles/16870087678615-refcodes)! --- ### **What if I want guests to be able to purchase tickets at the door?** If you’d like to sell tickets at the door of your event, we strongly recommend bringing a laptop or a mobile device, pulling up the event form on an Incognito or private browsing window, and having guests buy tickets as they walk in. This will prevent your web browser from saving cached information across transactions.  If you're using an iPhone for this process, simply open Safari, tap the **Pages** icon (it appears as two squares), and then tap **Private** to launch an Incognito window.  If you’re using a laptop, consult the following instructions per web browser:  - In Google Chrome, click **File** \> **New Incognito Window.** - In Safari, click **File** \> **New Private Window.** - In Firefox, click **File** \> **New Private Window**. - In Microsoft Edge, select **Settings, More**, and then **New InPrivate Window**. --- Google Pay is a trademark of Google LLC. © 2009 PayPal, Inc.
