How to add tickets to a sold-out event's guest list

Create a new admin-only ticket type to add more capacity, and manually add your guestlist.

Written by Rhio

Sold out is a good problem to have. But it doesn't always mean the guest list is finished. Maybe your venue's given you a few extra spaces, or you need to add the band, the photographer, or a couple of VIPs who aren't buying a ticket the normal way.

If you've been wondering how to add someone to a sold-out event, add names to a guest list manually, or issue free, complimentary, or press tickets without reopening sales to everyone, here's how.

  1. Create an admin-only ticket type to increase your event capacity without releasing more tickets for general sale.

  2. Add your new guests

    1. A few names? Add them one at a time with a manual order.

    2. A longer list? Import them all at once from a spreadsheet.

That's it, your guest list is sorted, and your event stays sold out to everyone else.
