TABLE OF CONTENTS

Editing an Order

Edit the order to change the ticket quantities, or add additional ticket types for the purchased event,

  1. On the Order Summary screen, select the Edit Order button in the bottom-right corner of the screen.
  2. On the Edit Order screen, you can:
    • Change the number of items for each category
    • Add additional ticket types and add-ons that are associated with the same event
    • Remove certain items from the order by clicking on the X icon to the right of the line item
  3. Click Continue when you are finished making your changes. You can review and confirm your changes on the next screen.
  4. If additional payment is due, the balance will be re-calculated based on the adjusted order items. Individual order purchases must be paid in full to proceed. Organization orders can defer payment if the organization's payment policy is set to Deferred Payment. If collecting payment, enter the Payment information, Billing Address, and payment details.

Rebooking an Order

  2. Next, navigate to Events > Events List and to the date the guest would like to rebook to.
  3. After confirming availability, select the "calendar" icon in the row for that event. Once the icon is selected it will open up a new screen.
  4. Place or type the order number into the open field that pops up after selecting the calendar icon and select "Find Order".
  5. Next, adjust quantity for the new date as listed on the right side of the screen as desired - see green highlighted area in the image below. You can rebook some or all of the tickets.
  6. Select "Review and Pay". If tickets for the new date are MORE Expensive, payment is required to complete the reschedule. If tickets for the new date are LESS Expensive, a refund will be made to the original purchaser's credit card.
You may reschedule tickets from one event into a different event, if you wish. Any change in Order total will trigger the system to collect payment or issue a refund to save the change.
