Uploading a guest list / multiple attendees
With the "Bulk Upload" feature, you can easily upload hundreds of attendees at once to your event.
You will need to make sure that you have created the ticket type you would like to allocate your complimentary tickets to before doing bulk upload. How do I create a ticket type?
To set this up, simply follow the steps below:
Downloading & Editing Templated CSV File
- Head to "Manage attendees >> Bulk Upload"
- Click on the "templated csv file" to download and open the file with Excel
- Type in or copy & paste your guest's details into the right column. Make sure you fill out the following 4 required fields and match the details with the correct column:
- Ticket Type (Column A) - please double check if you have put in the correct ticket type
- Buyer First Name (Column B)
- Buyer Last Name (Column C)
- Buyer Email (Column D)
- If you have added additional questions, you will also see them appear as additional columns in the CSV file. However, they are not required to be filled out so feel free to leave them blank if not necessary.
Please note: each row only generates ONE ticket. So if you want to issue 10 tickets for Jane Doe, for instance, you will need to duplicate the same row to 10 identical rows. Here is a great tip from Microsoft Excel to quickly copy cells by using the fill handle.
Uploading Your Completed CSV File
- Click "Choose File" and select the file you just edited.
- Select the event date you would like to create tickets for. If you only have one event date, feel free to skip this step.
- Tick "Email each order created" if you would like to send an order confirmation email to each order you added in the CSV (one email per row).
- Hit "Load".
Mapping Fields
This step is only necessary if you have an existing database and your column names are named differently from our "Additional Questions" fields.
- From here, you can manually map the columns in your CSV file to the fields created in "Additional Questions" or simply toggle ON "Ignore column" if it doesn't matter.
- Review the examples generated and if everything looks good then hit "Upload"
You will get an email notification once tickets have been generated. It will also include any tickets (rows) that failed to be processed so you can review your CSV file and see if there were any mistakes.
