An organizer can make a ticket type visible only to a group of people (members, guests, customers of a partner) through an access code. The code is not a discount: it makes ticket types that are otherwise hidden appear in the list, at the price set by the organizer.

At a glance

  • Where: the Limited-access tickets block in the ticket selection screen, on the website and in the app (same labels).
  • Format of the code: only letters, numbers and underscore, at most 64 characters (for example OSPITI_2026).
  • When the block appears: only if the event has ticket types that can be unlocked by the channel through which you opened the page.
  • How long it lasts: the unlock is tied to the current cart, not to the browser.

Step by step (website and app)

  1. Start the booking from the event page.
  2. Find the block. Locate Limited-access tickets with the text Have an access code? Enter it to unlock reserved offers available to your channel. and press Enter access code.
  3. Enter the code. Type it in the Access code field (placeholder Enter the code) and press Unlock offers.
  4. Choose the unlocked ticket type. Confirmation: Reserved offers unlocked.; the new ticket types appear in the list: set the quantity and continue normally.
