Ticket Types

Ticket types group tickets by access, such as General Admission, VIP or Staff. Every new event starts with a General Admission type.

Add a ticket type

const { data: ticketType, error } = await eventlayer.ticketTypes.create({
  eventId: "ev_123",
  name: "VIP",
  description: "Priority seating and backstage access.",
});
if (error) throw error;

Pass ticketType.id as ticketTypeId when issuing a ticket. If an event has only one ticket type, Eventlayer selects it automatically.

List ticket types

const { data: page, error } = await eventlayer.ticketTypes.list({
  eventId: "ev_123",
});
if (error) throw error;

console.log(page.items);

Pause check-in for a type

const { error } = await eventlayer.ticketTypes.update({
  ticketTypeId: "tt_123",
  status: "inactive",
});
if (error) throw error;

An inactive type blocks check-in. Existing assigned tickets remain assigned. Set the status to active to allow check-in again.

Deleting a type removes its tickets. Use deactivation when you only need to pause entry.

You can also manage types in the dashboard. For optional fields, including Wallet templates, see the API reference. To start an event without a default type, pass disableDefaultTicketType: true when creating it.
