Event Ticketing

How to Add Tickets to Your Event on Packet Africa

his guide covers how to add one or more ticket tiers to an existing event — including free, paid, VIP, and group tickets.


Before you begin


Step 1: Open Your Event

  1. Log in to app.packetafrica.com.
  2. On the left sidebar, click Event Ticketing.
  3. Click on the event you want to add tickets to. This opens the Event Details Hub.

Step 2: Go to Manage Tickets

  1. In the top navigation bar of the Event Details Hub, click the Tickets dropdown.
  2. Select Manage tickets.
  3. Click + Add Ticket (or Create Ticket).

Step 3: Configure the Ticket Tier

Fill in the following fields for each ticket type:

  • Ticket Name — a clear, descriptive label (e.g. Early Bird, General Admission, VIP Pass, Executive Table of 5).
  • Description / Perks — list what is included with this ticket (e.g. “Front-row seating, complimentary drink, and networking lounge access”).
  • Price (NGN) — enter the ticket price in Naira. Enter 0 for a free RSVP ticket.
  • Quantity Available — the total number of tickets available for this tier. Once this limit is reached, the tier is automatically marked Sold Out.
  • Purchase Limit per Order — the maximum number of tickets a single buyer can purchase in one transaction (e.g. set to 2 to prevent bulk purchasing or scalping).

Click Save Ticket.


Step 4: Add More Tiers (Optional)

Repeat Step 3 for each additional ticket tier. You can create as many tiers as your event requires. Common setups include:

VIP Pass₦35,00050Max 2
Executive Table of 5₦250,00010Max 1

Other tools in the Tickets menu

From the same Tickets dropdown in your Event Details Hub, you can also:

  • Coupons — create discount codes for attendees (e.g. STUDENT50 for 50% off, or VIP2025 for a flat ₦5,000 discount).
  • Custom questions — add ticket-specific questions that attendees answer at checkout.

Managing attendees and check-in

Once tickets are sold, use the Attendees dropdown in the Event Details Hub to:

  • Attendee list — view all registered attendees, their ticket codes, and check-in status. Export the full roster as a CSV file.
  • Check-in Staff — generate unique staff access pins so your ushering team can scan QR tickets at the door using the dedicated Staff Check-In Portal.
  • Send emails — broadcast messages directly to all registered attendees.
  • Meeting link — for virtual events, send or schedule the meeting link to attendees.

Viewing sales and requesting a payout

Go to the Sales dropdown in the Event Details Hub to:

  • Sales summary — view total gross revenue and net ticket earnings.
  • Payouts — request an instant manual payout of your ticket proceeds.
