Opening Sales
⏱︎ 3 minutes
BookTix doesn't require that sales open at a set time prior to your event, you can choose the best time to open sales for your organization.
Once you open sales, you can still make changes like updating pricing or dates. The only thing you cannot do once you have sold something is replace your seating chart.

Setting specific sale start and end dates and times
After switching the dropdown to public, you'll gain two new fields.
Public Sale Start: This is to set a future on-sale date and time.
Public Sale End: This is to set a future sale closing date and time.
Public Sale End: This is to set a future sale closing date and time.
If you don't set a sale closing time, online sales will close automatically at the time set in your Department Settings -- typically 15 minutes prior to the event. This does not affect the ability to sell in the Point of Sale tool.
3. Toggle SHOW ON HOME PAGE to "on" (when it is green, it is on!).
