SimpleTix offers three main event types: Flex Pass, General Admission, and Reserved Seating. This article will help you understand these options and select the best type for your needs.
Key Benefit: Can allow multiple scans (unlimited or a fixed amount).
Common Use: Ideal for farms, festivals, or any event where a pass grants entry multiple times (e.g., “come as many times as you want”).
Capacity?: No built-in capacity limits.
Season Tickets?: Flex pass offers multiple entry tickets which can give customers a certain number (or unlimited) entries on the same ticket. Think you can come to the farm every day this season - not you have a ticket to each day the farm is open.
Scans: Can be configured as single-scan or multi-scan tickets.
Only Flex Pass can handle multi-scan tickets (unlimited or limited re-entry).
GA or RS can’t offer unlimited re-entry on a single ticket.
Season Tickets for Multiple Dates/Games:
Only GA or RS support true “Season Tickets,” allowing each pass holder to access every game/performance in a season (and optionally have assigned seats).
Webinars (Online Events):
A Webinar is a specialized form of GA event that has no physical venue — designed for virtual attendees.
Reserved Seating Complexity:
Setting up a reserved seating chart requires extra steps.
We generally recommend using GA unless you specifically need attendees to pick seats at checkout.
