– Custom text ticket template element

Solutions · 2 min read · Updated May 21, 2026

you want to print arbitrary custom text on every ticket — a disclaimer (“No re-entry after 10pm”), a sponsor mention (“Powered by Acme Corp”), gate instructions (“Enter via North Gate, bring photo ID”), legal terms (“By using this ticket you agree to…”) — and the default ticket-template fields don’t include a free-text element. This is the fix.

The free add-on

We maintain a small add-on that adds three Custom Text fields to the ticket-template builder. Each accepts arbitrary static text that prints on every ticket generated from that template.

  1. Download: tc-custom-template-elements.zip
  2. WordPress admin → Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, upload the ZIP, install, activate.
  3. Open Tickera → Ticket Templates, edit your template.
  4. Three new draggable elements appear in the builder palette: Custom Text 1, Custom Text 2, Custom Text 3.
  5. Drag each onto your layout where you want it.
  6. Type the text directly into the element’s settings, style (font, size, colour), position, save.

Every ticket from then on shows your custom text. Different ticket templates can have different custom text — useful when you have multiple events with different rules.

Why three slots, not one

Customers asked for separate slots so you can style each independently. Typical use:

  • Slot 1: the disclaimer (small text, bottom of ticket).
  • Slot 2: the sponsor line (medium text, top right).
  • Slot 3: the gate / entry instructions (highlighted, near the QR).

Works in standalone and Bridge mode

The add-on hooks the Tickera template builder directly, so it works whether you’re running Tickera standalone or with Bridge for WooCommerce — the same custom-text fields appear on tickets generated either way.

If you need more than three slots

The same approach extends. Drop us a line via support and we can build a version with more slots, or you can fork the add-on and add more elements yourself — it’s a small plugin using the standard Tickera hooks and filters.
