#### Limit the total number of tickets sold for the price you've set

You can do this by entering a number into the "Total number of tickets for this rate" section. Once this number is reached, the word "Full" will appear next to the rate.

#### &#x20;Set up a **minimum** and **maximum** number of tickets per purchase&#x20;

If you enter the numbers 2 and 10 respectively, for example, the buyer will have to purchase at least two tickets and no more than ten tickets while making a purchase. If you don't want to set up a minimum or maximum number, you can leave these fields blank.

### Defining a sales schedule

To further customize the sale, you can set the link and date in the General Information step of the editor.&#x20;
