Making money by selling tickets¶
You can use electronic tickets with the Smart Buzzer app and the buzzerpad website to generate revenue when hosting (online) quizzes. Selling digital tickets to your audience is however your own concern. There are several CMS web shop plugins that allow you to sell tickets on your web shop or you can use online ticket platforms such as https://www.tickettailor.com/. For QuizXpress, all you need is a simple plain text file with all the ticket codes (one ticket per line, case insensitive). This text file should be named tickets.txt and must be stored in the same folder as your quiz. When you launch your quiz, the tickets will be sent to the server and when a player connects to your quiz, he/she is prompted for a ticket code that must match a line in tickets.txt. Each ticket can only be used once at a time so people cannot share tickets. You can refresh the tickets even while the quiz is running. For this open the Director screen on your PC, activate the Mobile tab and locate the ‘Refresh Tickets’ button. Make sure you have saved a new version of tickets.txt and click the button to upload the latest updates,
