# About the Ticket Definitions V3 API

With the Ticket Definitions V3 API, you can create definitions for tickets. A definition includes the following ticket settings:

- Fee type. Determines whether the fee is paid by a guest or a seller.
- Pricing. Defines different ticket prices based on factors such as early bird discounts, VIP packages, group rates, or special promotions. Several pricing methods are available for you to select from: **Fixed price**, **Guest price**, **Free**. Additionally, you can customize prices for different groups of people using **Price options**.
- Availability. Set the ticket limit available to buy. Also, you are able to check the number of purchased or reserved tickets.
- Sale period. Set the sale start and end dates. Also, when defining the sale period, it's possible to choose to display event tickets to customers even before the sale starts.
- Seating details. These details are read-only and seats can be assigned to ticket definitions only through the dashboard when creating a [seating map](https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-events-creating-a-seating-map). Also, you can use this information to display a list of seats for customers to select.

## Before you begin

It's important to note the following before starting to code:

- A site must have [Wix Events & Tickets](https://www.wix.com/app-market/web-solution/events) installed.
- A ticket definition isn't the same as a ticket. Ticket definitions define settings for a set of tickets. After a customer pays for selected tickets, the [Orders API](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/events/registration/ticketing/orders/checkout.md) automatically generates the tickets.

## Use cases

- [Add a specific-price ticket counter for an event](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/events/event-management/ticket-definitions-v3/sample-use-cases-and-flows.md#add-a-specific-price-ticket-counter-for-an-event)
- [Sync ticket definitions with an external ticketing system](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/events/event-management/ticket-definitions-v3/sample-use-cases-and-flows.md#sync-ticket-definitions-with-an-external-ticketing-system)
- [Notify customers when tickets go on sale](https://dev.wix.com/docs/api-reference/business-solutions/events/event-management/ticket-definitions-v3/sample-use-cases-and-flows.md#notify-customers-when-tickets-go-on-sale)

## Terminology

- **Pricing method**: Different pricing methods are available for events.
    - **Fixed price**: All tickets in the same definition are sold at the same price, regardless of when they're purchased or other factors.
    - **Guest price**: The guest enters the ticket price. Optionally, you can set a minimum price guests must pay for a ticket. This pricing method is applied to donations.
    - **Price options**: All tickets in the same ticket definition are priced at different rates, such as different prices for adults, children, and students.
- **Ticket availability**: The status of ticket inventory, indicating whether tickets are available or sold out. This can also include availability limits and timeframes for ticket sales.
- **Sale period**: The duration of time during which event tickets are available for purchase.
- **Event dashboard**: A control center in the Wix site UI for managing site event settings and features.
