Adding individual guests:
- Add guest details - name, quantity and type are all required fields
- Add an email address if you want to email the guest their ticket
- Company and tags are optional fields
Adding tags:
Tags can be used to add additional entry information for a guest that entry staff can see e.g whether the guest needs drinks tokens or green room access. Tags are displayed next to a guest’s name on the guestlist.
Upload guests in bulk from a file:
To bulk upload a guestlist from a .csv file please use this template .
- Fill in the template
- Save it as a .csv
- Upload the file into the guestlist
Name, Quantity and Type are required fields + email if you wish to email tickets
If you are having issues uploading the file, please check these troubleshooting tips:
- Columns can be uploaded in any order but the titles must be as stated.
- Check for spacing before or after the words as any additional characters or spaces in the title field can cause upload issues (including capital letters and -s at the end of the titles)
- Accents or special characters in customer names can also cause files to not upload. If you are experiencing issues, try removing them.
- If there’s a separate column for first name and last name in the export spreadsheet, you’ll need to collate this into one column.
- Please check this guide for further info if you still need help
