How to display the number of available tckets on the event page?

As an event organizer, you may want to show your customers the number of available tickets remaining for an event. This feature allows you to display the balance of available tickets directly on the event page. By displaying the remaining ticket count, you can encourage potential attendees to register early, and keep customers informed about the ticket availability.

This article will guide you on how to enable the option to display the number of available tickets on the event page.

What does the "Available Tickets" count mean?

The number of available tickets displayed on the event page refers to the remaining tickets that have not yet been sold. The count is calculated by subtracting the number of tickets sold from the total ticket quantity specified for the event. This shows visitors how many seats are left for the event, helping them make informed decisions when purchasing tickets.

For example, if your event has a total of 500 tickets and 200 have already been sold, the system will display "300 available tickets" on the event page. This count updates dynamically as more tickets are sold or reserved.

Benefits of displaying available tickets

Transparency: It keeps attendees informed about the remaining availability, which helps manage expectations.

Encourages action: Seeing the available tickets may motivate potential attendees to purchase tickets before they sell out.

Improves event management: Allows you to visually track the progress of ticket sales and gauge demand.
