Multiple tickets

There are two options to do multiple tickets:

  • The first is the change numSeats. This means a single reservation will represent tickets for numSeats number of individuals.

  • If you want to have one ticket (i.e. barcode) per individual and have names for each individual on the ticket, create multiple EventReservations (one per individual) with numSeats set to 1. The example below shows what this looks like.
