Step-by-step guide Purchase and checkout

Enter the attendees’ details (Who’s attending?)

For named tickets you have to enter the details of each attendee before payment: which fields are always required, how to fill in the cards, the Same as buyer checkbox, the error messages and how to resume an incomplete reservation.

When the organizer sells named tickets, every ticket has to be made out to a specific person. After the choice of the ticket types, the Who's attending? screen appears with a card for each ticket; payment is unlocked only when all the cards are complete.

At a glance

  • When: for named ticket types and, always, for events with a capacity of 5,000 seats or more.
  • Always required fields: First name and Last name; the others (Email, Phone, Date of birth, Gender, place of birth and the like) depend on what the organizer requires for that ticket type.
  • Time: the countdown Tempo residuo: MM:SS Min. (time left: MM:SS min.) is visible on this screen.

Step by step

  1. Read the card. Each card shows the Ticket, the Participant and the To complete badge; the tooltip Enter attendee details for access ticket … indicates which ticket it refers to.
  2. For yourself tick Same as buyer: the fields are filled in with the details of your profile.
  3. For the others fill in the required fields. For the city fields (place of birth) pick the city from the suggestions.
  4. Confirm each card with Confirm attendee: the badge changes to Completed (in the app only To complete remains visible, on the cards that are still empty).
  5. Continue. When all the cards are complete, press the button at the bottom, which shows the purchase label of the event (for example Buy 2 tickets).

Resuming an incomplete reservation

  • If you close the page before finishing, the reservation remains pending. Open My accountView reservations (app: Reservations tab): in the details the Complete attendees button appears at the bottom; in the app you also see the notice Complete the attendee details for reservation #… before continuing.
  • If the time has expired, the tickets become available again and the reservation shows Payment not completed: repeat the purchase.

Special cases

  • The attendees’ details do not create Nightify accounts: they are used only for the ticket and for the check at the entrance.
  • You got a name wrong after payment: use the name change, if the event allows it, otherwise write to the organizer with Contact organizer.
