SUMMARY:BW Test
DESCRIPTION:Brian Wold’s Test Event. To test advanced settings like table sales\, table plus ad\, etc. NOTE that each ticket/ad type asks for different information: just names for the general\, guest #s1-5 for the table\, and a note about submitting ad copy for the ad option.\nBecause each is a separate item\, they can stack\, such as table plus an ad.\nAfter checkout\, the user can log in or create an Eventbrite account and edit the names on their ticket if they want to switch guest names\, for example. It’s not immediately clear how to do this\, so I’d suggest adding that info to a confirmation message or followup message.\nDo not publish or share this event.
