Customize ticket templates

Prev Next

Create branded ticket templates that give guests all the information they need for a smooth arrival. You can customize the PDF tickets guests open from the Print tickets button in their booking confirmation email, and the tickets POS prints with cloud printing.

Emailed and printed tickets come in two formats: a master ticket for the whole booking, or itemized tickets with one for each pass. This guide shows you how to choose between them and customize each one.

Choose which template to edit

The Ticket templates page (Settings > Design > Ticket templates) lists four templates: two for emailed tickets and two for tickets POS prints with cloud printing. The Modified column on the Ticket templates page shows Unmodified for any template you haven't changed.

Each template changes one kind of ticket. Editing one doesn't change the other three. The emailed tickets are PDFs guests download from links in their booking confirmation email. Their templates apply whether your venue prints with cloud printing or ROLLER Connect.

Template

Changes

Master ticket

The emailed PDF for the whole booking, with one QR code that covers every guest.

Itemized ticket

The emailed PDF with a page for each ticket in the booking, each with its own QR code. Most venues use itemized tickets.

POS master ticket (cloud printing)

The ticket POS prints with cloud printing when staff choose a master ticket. It covers the tickets staff select, with one code for the booking. Staff can choose it when Print master tickets is turned on in POS device settings.

POS itemized ticket (cloud printing)

The tickets POS prints with cloud printing, one for each pass, each with its own code. POS prints these by default.

POS prints tickets with cloud printing or ROLLER Connect:

A POS device can use both, so you can print stickers and wristbands with ROLLER Connect and everything else with cloud printing (recommended if you require wristband printing). To compare the two methods or set up ticket printing at POS, see Set up printed, emailed and wallet tickets.

Customize emailed tickets

What each emailed ticket shows

The master ticket is one PDF for the whole booking. It shows:

  • Your venue logo and ticket instructions

  • The product name, booking holder, validity, purchase date, arrival time and booking reference

  • One QR code for the booking

  • The booking items, invoice and contact details

  • Your venue name and address

Emailed master ticket PDF with the venue logo, booking details and one QR code for the whole booking.

The itemized tickets are one PDF with a page for each ticket in the booking. Each page shows the same details as the master ticket for one ticket, with its number in the booking (eg Ticket 1 of 7), its own QR code and a booking reference that adds the ticket number (eg 111632769-384922420).

Emailed itemized ticket PDF open on page 1 of 7, showing Ticket 1 of 7, the booking details and that ticket's QR code.

Choose which ticket guests get

If

Send

Guests arrive at different times or scan in one by one (eg at entry gates), so each guest needs their own QR code. Or you sell recurring passes and want each class on its own page.

Itemized tickets

One person holds the tickets for a group or family that arrives together. Or you sell recurring passes and want one ticket listing every class date and time.

Master ticket

To choose master or itemized tickets, go to Settings > Design > Email templates and select Order confirmation. In the Settings tab, add Master ticket PDF or Itemized tickets PDF under Attachments. If you add both, guests get itemized tickets.

For the steps, see Set up emailed tickets in the guide Set up printed, emailed and wallet tickets.

Guests open the ticket you've set, master or itemized, from the Print tickets button. ROLLER sends the booking confirmation email automatically when a guest books through your online checkout. To send or resend it yourself, open the booking in Venue Manager, select the options menu (3 dots) at the top right, then select Send confirmation email.
