How do I add raffle tickets to my event?

As well as selling tickets and merchandise through IWannaTicket, our platform supports the sale of raffle tickets. Selling raffle tickets online is a great way to get organised before an event and raise money ahead of time. This article demonstrates the best way to set up and manage Raffle Ticket sales. 

1. In the Summary page of your event, locate the Ticket Types button and then select ‘Add Raffle Ticket’. 

2. On this page, you will be required to fill in all of the necessary information about your raffle. This is essentially the same as setting up a normal ticket type for your event. 

Later in this article, we will cover applying the Raffle ticket breakdown so that sales for Raffle tickets can be separated from regular ticket or merchandise sales. 

3. Once all of the information has been entered, click the blue Save button. The raffle tickets will now appear on the Summary Page and on the first page of your event if you are using the ticket link. 

4. When the attendee receives their confirmed tickets via email, they will receive their e-raffle ticket and number. 

The header and footer for the e-raffle ticket that emailed to the patron, is the same as what is applied to the regular ticket. If you require a customised banner and footer for the e-ticket please contact us. 

5. In the ‘Reports’ area of your account, you can download the Guest List Report and filter by the Ticket Type - this being the Raffle ticket.

You will have a complete list of who has purchased the raffle tickets and the corresponding raffle ticket number when you draw the raffle on the day and how to contact them in case the attendee does not have their e-raffle ticket on the day. 

How to separate the money collected for the raffle from the money collected for tickets? 

We recommend using a Breakdown to separate the funds collected from Raffle Ticket sales. This will make it easier for accounting and planning purposes. 

Ask your Account Manager to create a ‘Breakdown’ in your Account for Raffle Tickets. This means that funds collected for regular tickets and raffle tickets will be separated for accounting purposes. 

Once this has been created to apply the Breakdown, do so in the Breakdown box when you are customising or editing the raffle ticket type. 

If you require any further assistance, please get in touch via support@iwannaticket.com.au and your Account Manager will be able to provide additional information.
