Create ticket bundles to simplify and customize your ticket checkout process! Bundles allow donors and event attendees to purchase multiple tickets (the same or different types) in a single transaction. They can also be personalized with a description and image, as well as custom quantities across individual tickets and bundle sales.
Ticket bundling is available for all Event campaigns that include tickets. When ticket bundles are created, additional inventory for tickets included in a bundle is automatically created. Bundles do not draw from the inventory of available individual tickets – they are additional.
Why bundle? When a group of tickets are bundled, they are purchased in a single checkout step instead of being individually selected, filled out, and purchased. Bundling creates a fast, seamless experience for your donors, sponsors, and event attendees. It also results in less manual tracking for your team!
Creating ticket bundles ➕
Navigate to the Event campaign that you want to add ticket bundles to, and click on the Event tab.
In the submenu, click Tickets, then click Bundles. Click the New bundle button near the upper right corner. A sidebar menu will open where you can configure your new bundle.
In the sidebar menu, fill out the following information to create a ticket bundle:
Bundle name (required)
Description (optional) – Will appear under the bundle name in checkout
Upload an image – Add a photo to be shown with the bundle in checkout
Price (required) – Price for the entire bundle (or check the box for free bundles)
Bundle Quantity (required) – Number of bundles available for sale (or check the box for unlimited)
Set as live
Toggle ON – The bundle will be available for purchase on your campaign and will be made unavailable when there are no longer any remaining tickets.
Toggle OFF – The bundle will not be added to your campaign and will appear in your bundles list as unavailable.
You'll be prompted to enter the ticket type and number of tickets you'd like to include in each bundle. Click Select a ticket to begin adding tickets to your bundle.
Ticket type – The type of ticket added to this bundle
Quantity in bundle – Number of tickets for the selected ticket type included in this bundle
A specific type of ticket can be added to multiple ticket bundles.
As you bundle tickets, the number of tickets reserved for individual sale will appear below each ticket type. This quantity is set in the ticket editor (if a quantity has been set, and this ticket is not a "bundle-only" ticket).
Click Create at the bottom of the screen when you're ready to add this bundle. You'll be taken to the Bundles page. Bundles will be listed here, including:
Name
Quantity (available versus total bundles)
Price (for the entire bundle)
Status (Live or Unavailable, for unpublished bundles)
What does "bundle only" mean? This is a setting indicated in the ticket editor for a specific ticket type. When toggled on, it means that this ticket type is not available for individual sale. It can only be sold as part of a bundle and will not appear in the checkout for sale as a standalone ticket.
Buying ticket bundles 🎟️
Ticket bundles are purchased the same way as individual tickets in a campaign checkout flow. The donor/attendee selects the quantity of bundles they'd like to purchase.
On the next screen, the donor/attendee will be asked to fill out ticket information for each ticket included in this bundle. Clicking Apply to all bundle tickets will populate the same information for all entries.
Per-ticket custom fields can be added at the ticket level to collect optional or required information. For example, a dropdown selection for meal preference may be helpful for bundled meal tickets. Bundle custom fields are not available at this time.
Once details have been filled out, checkout can be completed via any of Givebutter's available payment options. The contact purchasing the tickets will receive an automatic emailed receipt, and each email address entered under Ticket Details will receive a copy of their ticket, as applicable.
Uses cases + examples 👨👩👧👦
Group tickets – Offer a discount to event attendees by selling a group of tickets as a single purchase.
Example: "Family Ticket Bundles" which include two adult tickets and two child tickets, to be bundled at a 10% discount (when compared to separate purchases).
Table sales – Sell full tables at events, including an option for a number of seats. You can include meal tickets or other custom field information to collect preferences ahead of your event.
Example: "VIP Table Packages" for groups of 6-10 attendees, including custom field entries for meal preferences for each guest.
Sponsorships – Create custom packages for sponsors to select the offering they'd like to purchase.
Example: "Sponsorship Packages" for local businesses that include 10 discounted tickets and advertising space in the event program.
Raffles – Create set quantities for raffle drawing entries, including discounts for larger purchases to encourage more entries.
Example: 5 raffle tickets for $30, 10 for $50, and 25 for $100. The cost of each raffle ticket decreases as quantity increases to incentivize larger purchases.
FAQ 🤔
Do promo codes apply to bundled tickets?
Promo codes only apply to individual tickets – they will not apply to bundled tickets. If you'd like to create a discounted rate for a bundle, you'll need to include that discount in the price of the bundle. Read more about promo codes →
Can a ticket custom field apply to a bundle of tickets, rather than each ticket separately?
Not at this time. Custom fields set at the ticket level will apply to each individual ticket in a bundle. Ticket custom fields will not apply once overall to a bundle. Read more about per-ticket custom fields →
Can ticket bundles be sold in the Givebutter mobile app?
It is not currently possible to sell ticket bundles in the Givebutter mobile app. We hope to add this option in the near future!
