A ticket seller sells tickets for various events, including concerts, films, and plays. They may also sell raffle or amusement park tickets and manage cash sales. They may enforce rules set by their employer, limit ticket purchases, and sell tickets to groups at discounted rates.

A ticket seller is a person responsible for selling tickets to concerts, recitals, films, plays, lectures and other events that require payment for admission. Depending on the size of the venue and the number of people attending a given event, a ticket seller may be responsible for selling tickets and admitting event holders. Very large venues often have a second group of employees who check or collect tickets and admit holders into the venue. A ticket seller may also be responsible for holding tickets for people who have paid in advance. These are often referred to as “call tickets”.

In some cases, a ticket seller will sell tickets long before an event. Concerts by very popular musicians or musical groups sometimes sell out weeks in advance. The same goes for certain types of sporting events. Sometimes the company overseeing the event limits the number of tickets a single person can purchase at one time. In such cases, a ticket vendor will have to enforce the rules set by their employer.

In addition to selling tickets to an event, the seller can also sell raffle or silent auction tickets. This type of event is often used as a fundraiser for nonprofits, charities, and community organizations. A ticket seller who sells raffle tickets must keep track of the numbers or codes for each of the tickets he sells. These numbers or codes are later used when a sweepstakes winner is chosen. Whether a ticket seller is selling tickets to a movie theater at a concert venue or selling tickets to a silent auction, he is likely to be asked to manage and account for a significant volume of cash sales.

Yet another type of ticket that a seller may be responsible for is carnival ride tickets and amusement park tickets. In these cases, the seller may be responsible for selling multiple types of tickets, including day passes that allow customers to ride all rides for an entire day. A ticket seller may also be responsible for selling tickets to groups such as school groups, summer camp groups, and families. These tickets are often priced at a rate that allows each group member to pay less than they would as individuals.
