The electronic ticketing support team is running open-house style demos and answering questions for event organizers and GMs utilizing electronic ticketing for their events this year.
Description:
This is a great chance for event organizers and GMs who aren't already experts with electronic ticketing (or who just need a reminder) to get a chance to talk to our support team and refresh their understanding and skills. For some of us, it's been a couple years, so it never hurts to double-check. Priority will be given to folks using electronic ticketing for 2023 events, but anyone interested in running their events with electronic tickets in the future is welcome and will be helped as time allows.
