Enable the Attendee Account Center

Allow attendees to resend and print tickets and view, edit, transfer and/or partially refund their orders in the Attendee Account Center

Written by Ashley

With the Attendee Account Center, you can give attendees a simple way to manage their own orders. When enabled, attendees can create an account to view all of their tickets and purchases for your events.

You can choose to enable the Account Center on one or multiple event pages, set permissions for editing tickets, charge a fee for making changes to specific fields, and allow attendees to transfer their tickets if they can no longer attend.

Enable the Attendee Account Center

When the Attendee Account Center is enabled, attendees can use their email to log in and easily manage their ticket orders. You can control when attendees see the link to log in.

  • From the top menu bar, click the pencil icon on the page you want to edit

  • Hover your mouse over the Settings tab in the top menu bar

  • Select Attendee Permissions from the dropdown

  • Toggle the Allow Attendee to Create an Account button to Yes

  • Select when attendees can see the option to log in. By default, no dates or times are set, so attendees will always see the option. To restrict this, enter a specific date and time range

  • Select where to display the link to the Attendee Account Center

    • Click the At the bottom of the receipt page checkbox to show attendees the link to the Attendee Account Center on the confirmation page. If desired, customize the message and the button text

    • Click the On email confirmations checkbox to show attendees the link to the Attendee Account Center on the confirmation email. If desired, customize the message and the button text

Pro Tip: When you limit the dates and times attendees can create accounts, TicketSpice will only display the link to the Account Center on the confirmation page and/or confirmation email during that window.

It's important to note that this feature limits login based on the date the attendee purchases tickets, not the current date. For example, if someone purchases tickets while the account creation window is open, their confirmation page and email will include the Account Center link. Even if the window later closes, they can still use that link to log in at any time.


Customize Attendee Permissions

After enabling the Attendee Account Center, you have full control over the actions attendees can take for each individual event page. From here, you can customize permissions such as whether attendees are allowed to edit their tickets, whether an edit fee should apply, and whether ticket transfers are permitted. You can also create a button that links to your Account Center, making it easy for attendees to access and manage their orders.

Allow Attendees to Edit their Tickets

TicketSpice makes it easy to let attendees update their own orders. When this option is turned on, you can decide when edits are allowed, customize if attendees can make changes that result in a partial refund, and determine which fields attendees can modify.

Pro Tip: In TicketSpice, attendees cannot cancel their order entirely. They can only edit their order. If an attendee wants to cancel their order, they will need to reach out to the event organizer.

  • Toggle on Allow Attendees to Edit their Tickets to Yes

  • Set when attendees can make changes to their orders. If this option is left blank, attendees can edit their orders up to the date of their event. You can add a date and time if you want to restrict this

  • Toggle the Allow changes and downgrades button to Yes to allow attendees to make changes that result in refunds. This option is turned off by default. Note: Attendees cannot cancel their order, even if this option is turned on

  • If you have a date-based event, toggle the Allow Ticket Holders to Make Changes to their Orders the Day of their Event to Yes if you want to allow attendees to make edits to their orders on the day of their event. By default, TicketSpice only allows attendees to make adjustments to their order until 11:59PM the night before the event or ticket date. Enabling this setting overrides this default setting

  • Use the Disallow These Fields from Being Edited to restrict attendees from editing specific fields

Note: Allowing attendees to make edits that result in partial refunds does not give them the ability to cancel their entire order. It only permits changes such as reducing the number of tickets or removing merchandise items.

Enable Change Fee for Edits

You can charge a change fee when attendees modify their orders. This optional setting automatically applies a fee whenever an attendee modifies their tickets or edits specific fields.

  • Toggle on Enable Change Fee for Edits to Yes

  • Choose whether you would like to adjust the price by $ or %, and enter the change fee in the text field

  • Toggle the Apply Change Fee Modifying Tickets to Yes to charge a change fee when a ticket is changed to a different ticket level

  • Use the Apply Change Fee when These Fields are Modified to only apply a change field when certain fields are modified

Note: The Change Fee is not applied when attendees add additional tickets to their order. It only applies when tickets are removed or when other changes are made, such as adding or removing merchandise, updating sessions, and more.

Allow Attendees to Transfer their Tickets

Ticket transfers allow attendees to transfer their tickets to another interested buyer. If an attendee can no longer attend and refunds aren’t offered, they can recoup their costs by transferring their ticket to someone who can go in their place. Click here to learn more about ticket transfers.

  • Toggle the Allow attendee to transfer their tickets button to Yes

  • Set when attendees can transfer their tickets, if desired. If this option is left blank, attendees can transfer their orders up to the date of their event

  • Add a Transfer Fee to charge a fee for transferring your ticket, if desired. This fee can be a fixed dollar amount or a percentage

Note: Once the transfer is completed, the original ticket buyer will be refunded. If you have a change fee, this fee will be deducted from the refund the ticket buyer sees. The original tickets will be canceled, and the new ticket buyer will receive new tickets

Create a Button for Your Website

The Website Button Builder lets you quickly create a button for your website that attendees can click to log in to their account.

  • Scroll to the Website Button Builder section

  • Select whether you'd like to have the button open the link in a new window or open in a pop-up over your website

  • Customize the Button Text

  • Customize the Button Text Color and Button Background Color

  • Copy the HTML code that appears in the box on the right, and add this code to your website


Configure Your Account Center Settings

In TicketSpice, you have control over the look and feel of your Account Center. From customizing design settings to updating the email “from” name, you can tailor key elements to match your brand and provide a seamless experience for your customers. You can also personalize the support details that appear at the bottom of the Account Center, ensuring your ticket buyers always know how to reach you. These simple customizations help you present a consistent, professional presence across your Account Center.
