Why is my event not showing in the upcoming events or events calendar

In order to show the Event on the Upcoming Events page or Calendar, the following ...

In order to show the Event on the Upcoming Events page or Calendar, the following need to be set on the campaign:

  1. Start date on or before today
  2. End date on or after today,
  3. The Campaign must be active
  4. The Campaign must be linked to a payment form. The linked payment form needs to have a Payment Type of “Event”, "Training" or “Program”
  5. Have the “publish on web” checked

If for some reason, any of the above fields are not showing on the page layout, you need to press the edit page layout link and drag/drop these fields onto the page layout.

Tickets for my Event have been booked and paid for, but they're not being counted in the booked ticket amount on the campaign. Why is it doing that?

  1. Check the status' of your Campaign Members. They need to be set to Paid in order for the ticket numbers to be included in the Booked tickets on your event.
  2. Go to your Payment Form and make sure that the Campaign Member Paid Status is set to Paid. If this field is left blank then they will by default be set to Responded.

Note: If you update the Campaign Member Paid Status field and tickets have already been booked, it will not update any bookings made prior to the change. You will need to manually update the Campaign Member status' and add the number of booked tickets. Custom workflows could be created to make these changes, but note that this will affect any past Campaigns using that Payment Form.

You will need to create a new report. The Report Type that you use will depend on the "Event Type" selected on the Payment Form.

  • If the Event Type is Tickets Only, then use "Payment Txn's" as your report type.
  • If the Event Type is NOT Tickets Only, then use "Payment Txn's with Payment Items"

You would most likely want to add the following filters:

  • Where Campaign Name equals your campaign
  • Banked Payment equals YES

Why is the Require Membership No. not being enforced?

If you have selected the checkbox field "Require Membership No." and the membersh ...

If you have selected the checkbox field "Require Membership No." and the membership number field is not being validated, then please check:

  • Payment Item Object, has validation rule "Check_for_Valid_Membership_No" enabled
  • On the Payment Form, the "Event Type" field is NOT blank or "Ticket Only"
  • Note, the validation occurs on the specify attended page only and not on the first screen that has the tickets selection. This is because the membership validation is at the Individual contact level and all attendees are required to have a valid membership no.

For more details on this, please see Turn on the "Require Membership No." validation rule on the Payment Option guide.

Is there a limit to the number of tickets, or why am I seeing no tickets available?

How the field values and purchased tickets work to mark a Payment Option as SOLD OUT?

The "Sold Out" of Tickets depends on the "Ticket Type" you choose in Payment Form ...

The "Sold Out" of Tickets depends on the "Ticket Type" you choose in Payment Form. (Extract from release notes: 8.6 Release  Events Correct Issue when “Max No. Per Ticket Type” specified would incorrectly mark ticket types as sold out).The corrected issue is for "Max No Per Ticket Type" in the Payment form. Normally the reason for tickets sold is due to specifying "Max No. Tickets Available" at the Payment form level and having Event Type as "Tickets Only". Please specify Max No Ticket Available at the Payment Option level if you are using Event Type -Ticket only in Payment Form Level. If you change the Event Type-" Ticket and specify all attendees" it should all work.
