# Introduce Flexible Ticket Add-Ons for Your Events Event registrations are rarely one-size-fits-all. While some attendees only need access to the main event, others may want additional experiences, merchandise, workshops, meals, or exclusive perks. To help organizers create more personalized registration experiences and unlock additional revenue opportunities, KonfHub now supports **Ticket Add-Ons**. With Ticket Add-Ons, you can offer optional purchases alongside your main event tickets, allowing attendees to customize their registrations based on their interests and needs. ## **What Are Ticket Add-Ons?** Ticket Add-Ons are optional tickets or items that attendees can purchase in addition to their primary event ticket. These add-ons can be linked to specific ticket categories, ensuring that only relevant attendees see and purchase them. The reason why they are called “Add-ons” is because they cannot be purchased independently - and can be purchased only after purchasing the associated ticket.  ### **Examples of Ticket Add-Ons** Ticket add-ons can significantly enhance the attendee experience while also creating additional revenue opportunities for event organizers. Add-ons can be either free or paid, depending on the event's goals and audience preferences. * For **marathons and sports events**, popular add-ons include event T-shirts, finisher medals, timing chips, training sessions, and post-race meal vouchers. These additions help participants personalize their experience and often increase engagement before, during, and after the event. * For **tech conferences**, organizers frequently offer conference merchandise, goodie bags, workshop passes, networking dinner access, and certification exams as add-ons. These options provide attendees with opportunities for deeper learning, networking, and memorable takeaways from the event. * For **workshops and training programs**, common add-ons include printed study materials, access to recorded sessions, one-on-one mentoring sessions, and premium certificates. Such add-ons enable participants to extend their learning journey and gain additional value beyond the live event experience. * For **music and entertainment events**, organizers often provide VIP lounge access, meet-and-greet passes, merchandise packs, and food and beverage vouchers. These add-ons create exclusive experiences and allow fans to enjoy a more personalized and memorable event. Whether free or paid, ticket add-ons offer attendees greater flexibility and choice while helping organizers deliver richer event experiences tailored to different audience needs and budgets. ## **Why Use Ticket Add-Ons?** * **Increase Event Revenue** Offer valuable extras without creating multiple ticket categories. Attendees can choose exactly what they want, creating additional revenue streams for your event. * **Simplify Ticket Management** Instead of creating separate event tickets for every possible combination, organizers can maintain a clean ticket structure and attach relevant add-ons where needed. * **Improve Attendee Experience** Attendees can personalize their registration journey by selecting additional products, services, or experiences that matter to them. * **Better Planning and Inventory Management** Since add-ons are purchased during registration, organizers gain accurate data on merchandise quantities, meal counts, workshop participation, and other logistics. ## **How to Create Ticket Add-Ons** Creating an add-on ticket is similar to creating a regular event ticket in the admin dashboard. ### **Step 1: Create the Add-On Ticket** From the Event Dashboard: * Navigate to the Tickets >> Add-ons section * Create a new ticket * Configure ticket details Unlike the tickets, for add-ons we have the option to add images for the respective ticket. For eg- image of the t-shirt or the medal. It is mandatory to add GST on the add-ons and the user also has the option to add HSN/SAC code (Product classification code) which helps generate GST-compliant invoices and accurately classify the ticket. This ticket will act as your add-on offering. ![](https://cdn.hashnode.com/uploads/covers/6412b643ab81b092709ad1c2/1b6de9e1-1a07-4bc1-a115-748d8dd037cd.png align="center") Examples: * Marathon T-Shirt * Workshop Pass * Goodie Kit * Networking Dinner Access ### **Step 2: Link Add-Ons to Main Tickets** When creating or editing a primary event ticket, you'll find a new section called **Ticket Add-Ons**.
