Build an Event Ticket — Guides — Documents

Overview

Event tickets combine visual appeal with essential information: event name, date, venue, seat assignment, and a scannable QR code for entry. This guide walks through building one.

Page Setup

Size: Custom — 600 × 250px (landscape ticket shape)
Orientation: Landscape
Margins: 15px all sides
Background: Use a gradient or brand color

Multiple Tickets Per Page

For printing multiple tickets on A4 paper, design each ticket at 595 × 200px and stack 4 per page using multi-page templates.

Layout Structure

Divide the ticket into two zones:

Main area (left 70%) — Event details and attendee info
Tear-off stub (right 30%) — QR code and ticket number

Separate the zones with a vertical dashed line element.

Main Area Fields

Field Key	Style	Example
`eventName`	20px bold, white	Tech Summit 2025
`eventDate`	12px, white	March 15, 2025
`eventTime`	12px, white	7:00 PM
`venue`	11px, light gray	Moscone Center, SF
`attendeeName`	14px bold	Alice Johnson
`section`	11px	Section A
`row`	11px	Row 12
`seat`	14px bold	Seat 5

Tear-Off Stub

qrCodeImage — Dynamic QR code image (100 × 100px)
ticketNumber — Monospace, 9px
ticketType — VIP, General, Student, etc.

Design Tips

Use a dark background with white text for visual impact
Add a subtle background image related to the event theme
Make the event name the largest element
Ensure the QR code has adequate contrast and padding for scanning
Use icon elements for calendar, clock, and location markers
