How to Make Tickets for an Event or Raffle

See how easy it is to create and order custom tickets for your next big event

Whether you’re looking to have a raffle or build excitement for your next event, Avery makes it simple. Customize your tickets online in minutes and choose either full-color, professionally printed tickets or DIY, whatever fits your event.

Add your logo, event name, date, and time. You can even include sequential numbering to keep track of admission, VIP passes, raffles, or prize drawings. Just pick your printing method, customize, and order or print. It’s that easy.

Pro tip: For larger events like fundraisers, grand openings, or company meetings, we recommend Avery custom printed tickets for a premium look. For smaller gatherings like birthday parties or backyard movies, printable tickets are quick, easy, and fun.

If you’re ready to start, follow the steps below.

1. Choose a format

Decide where you want the stub: left, right, or bottom. Your format choice determines how your tickets will be cut and numbered.

2. Pick a ticket design template

Browse our design categories or start with a blank template to add your own images or artwork. Check out Avery Ticket Templates for extra tips on DIY.

3. Edit text and images

• Click any text box in the template to edit.
• To add new text, click Add Text Box in the left menu. Drag boxes to position them exactly where you want.
• Replace images by clicking Add Image, then browse to upload your new graphic.
• Use the navigator on the right-hand side: Edit All changes all tickets at once, while Edit One edits individual blocks.

4. Add sequential numbering

• Click More → Sequential Numbers in the left menu.
• Choose numbers or letters, set start/end values, and define increments. Add leading zeros or a prefix/suffix if needed.
• Click Add Sequential Numbers to automatically generate pages. Drag numbers into position.
• To number stubs, copy the ticket number to the stub and adjust placement. All tickets and stubs will now match.

5. Approve your design

Double-check your work! Ask a friend, family member, or coworker to proof your tickets to catch any errors before printing.

6. Order or print DIY

Once you’re happy with your design:

• Order custom printing via Avery for a professional finish.
• Print at home using your printable Avery tickets.
