How to Set Up the Print-at-Home Ticket: https://help.pm.leapevent.tech/a/940790

While the Print-at-Home Ticket is still available, we highly recommend using mobile tickets instead!

Mobile tickets are newer, faster, fully accessible, and more convenient for both you and your patrons.

When your patrons choose to have their tickets delivered via email, they can receive a PDF containing their Print-at-Home tickets. The Print-at-Home ticket has multiple blocks with the potential to convey important information about an event, the venue, and your organization.  

In this article, you'll learn how to configure the Print-at-Home ticket so your patrons can get all the information they need on one page, or how to disable the Print-at-Home ticket if your organization doesn't use email delivery.

These are typically designed to mimic your POS ticket and stub.

If you'd like to make changes to either of these sections of the page, visit our Ticket Design Services for more information. Alternatively, if you or someone on your staff is familiar with CSS, you can make edits to these sections. We have guidelines on updating the CSS of your tickets.
