Note: Event organizers sometimes set up their Eventbrite event page to take registrations from people who purchased a voucher on a site like Groupon, LivingSocial, or HomeRun. Typically, organizers collect voucher codes from attendees using a custom question at checkout. See below for a look at how to set things up!
1
To get started, first sign up for a free Eventbrite account or log in to your existing Eventbrite account and create an event.
If you’d like to edit an already-created event, click My Events at the top of the screen and then click on Edit to the right of your event’s name.
2
In Step 2: Add Ticket Information on the Edit page, click the Add a New Ticket button. (If you're creating your first ticket type for this new event, this button will say Create a Ticket instead.)
3
In the Edit Ticket window, enter the following information:
- Ticket Name: You want to choose a name that will indicate to the attendee that they will be using a voucher when registering for this ticket type. An example would be "Using a Voucher."
- Ticket Price: Free, since they have already prepurchased the voucher.
- Quantity Available: This indicates the quantity available of this particular ticket type.
Note: You can change the Quantity Available at any time, even after publishing your event, by going to Step 2: Add Ticket Information on the Edit page for your event and clicking on the name of the ticket.

Under Optional Settings, choose to show this question only for the voucher ticket type you created. (You can learn more about creating ticket type-specific custom questions here.) Be sure to select Save to save your changes.

On the next screen, select that this question be Required. Remember to click Save Changes once you're finished.

Before your event, you can compare the number of “Use a Voucher” tickets that have been “sold” or redeemed in Eventbrite with the number of deals or vouchers that you sold on the outside “daily deal” website to make sure that these two numbers sync.
If you’d like further details, you can run an Attendee Summary report and export it to Excel. The Attendee Summary report will include the answers to all of the custom questions you asked your attendees, including the voucher numbers they redeemed. You can then cross reference the voucher numbers collected on Eventbrite with the numbers provided by the “daily deal” site.
