Creating tickets for an event

Does Constant Contact allow for an "event ticket" that is "I can not attend, but would like to make a donation.." option? It seems like there is only ticket price or free. I'd like an option for those who can not attend, but would like to fund our event with a donation. This option would obviously not have a set price but could be any amount. How do I select any amount.

Hello @Chatfield ,

 

At this time, explicit donations aren't available in the newer event tool. The only workaround would be to setup a ticket for a specific donation amount, or link to a separate site for collecting donations in your email invites / event landing page.

The lack of the extra donation feature makes the new event feature not usable for me.

 

Also the lack of the ability to number the tickets or individualize the tickets in a way for check in. Wanting to create a minimal cost event with discounts. Expect that donations will make up for the low cost. Also expect that churches will buy multiple general admission tickets so they will not have individual names attached to them.

 

This is a start, but no where as good as old version.
