If you are planning to use the phone camera or a barcode scanner that can read from the phone screen (most barcode scanners nowadays can read from the screen) buyers won't need to print their tickets and you can easily scan the tickets from their phone.

Ask the buyer to check their spam folder. You can also re-send the confirmation email from the invoice. Browse to Control Panel > Box Office > Find Invoice / Ticket Pickup and edit the invoice

They can simply reset their password if they have entered the correct email address and have access to the email. Simply click on the sign in button, click on "Forgot password", wait a few minutes till you receive the password recovery code in your email and change your password.

The buyer has probably signed up with a wrong email address or has had a typo in their email address. You can browse to Control Panel > Account & Settings > User manager and try to find the user by name. Then you can give them the actual email address they used to sign up or you can edit and correct the email address for them.

1- Check the Control Panel > Reports > Sales & Invoices to make sure they purchased only once. If they purchased more than once, you may want to refund or void the duplicates.

2- Authorization and not a Charge: When you charge a client through your payment processor, the process is a two-step process. First step is Authorization. If the authorization is successful, the system then re-validates the shopping cart and tickets and proceeds to Capture the funds. The system will not Capture the funds if the tickets in the shopping cart are not valid anymore. Also, the Capture may fail due to fraud protection system by the payment processor. It is important to know that an authorization is not a charge and will go away from the buyer's credit card statement in a few days or hours.

In this scenario, just ask the user to try purchasing tickets again.

This is also explained to the buyer in the FAQ section of your Contact Us page. Make sure you have not deleted the contact us page.

How to prevent un-captured authorizations

Even though un-captured authorizations are not a big issue and no action is required from you, it is best to try to minimize them.

Do not make any changes to the event when it is selling: Although the system allows you to make changes to your events or pricing at any time, such changes will reset the shopping carts of the buyers who are in the process of purchase and will cause bad experience or un-captured authorizations. You should try to finalize your event before start selling or make changes at the times that you have the least amount of traffic, such as late at nights. Try to avoid making changes to the event during the busy hours.

Other causes of uncaptured authorizations are very rare and are either due to fraud protection or temporary network or system outages somewhere in the card processing network and are out of your control.

We support 2 methods of seat selection.

1- Exact: Buyer clicks on a certain seat and gets that exact seat. If the buyer clicks on the row (instead of a seat in the row) it will work similar to limited mode and the buyer can select multiple seats in one click.

2- Limited: We do not allow user to exactly select their seat on the seating chart. Instead they can pick their row and preference in the row (left, center or right of the row). In this method, the buyer can buy as many seats in one click instead of clicking on each individual seat. This limitation does not apply to administrators and sales agents.

Why limited? There are several reasons for that. The most important is to protect you (the event organizer) from many single, fragmented unsold seats that would cause loss of profit to you. Buyers tend to leave a seat next to them vacant so they can sit more comfortably. This will result in single unsold seats throughout the venue and as a result, money loss for the event planner. Our limited method of picking seats, ensures that the buyer can get the seat they want while preventing abuse.

You can select the method that best works for you by editing the event, then going to the 'Details' tab and use the 'Seating Chart' option.

Read the charge-back to see if the buyer really qualifies for a refund or not.

If not and you want to fight back, simply respond to the charge-back with all the evidence.

The system can help you prepare a generic response with all the buyer and invoice details. Simply browse to Control Panel > Box Office > Find Invoice / Ticket Pickup, find the invoice, edit it and from the Actions menu choose "Prepare charge-back response".

You can either print it out as is or save it as html and open it in MS-Word to edit it. Just make sure to submit your response on-time.

You will get your statements monthly (on the same day of the month as your original sign up), however, you may get charged anytime during the month for your current balance (for the tickets you have already sold and collected the money).

You will auto-pay for bills using your credit card or PayPal account on file.

Whenever you get charged, you will receive an email indicating that your payment has gone through and if the charge fails or is declined, you will get another email requesting you to update your credit card on-file and make the payment.

You can always see your statements including the on-going (in-complete) one in Control Panel > Account & Settings > Billing & Payments.

If you have unpaid balance and your auto-payment does not go through, the system may ask you to make the payment before continuing your use of the site. Please note that it will only affect you and not the buyers. The buyers can continue their use of the site and purchase their tickets as normal, unless you receive emails from us, warning you of blocking the site due to unpaid balance.
