# Create a Ticket Manually > Issue a ticket yourself — handy for complimentary guests, sponsors, or at-the-door sales. No payment required, and you can email it to the attendee. Sometimes you need to put a ticket in someone's hands without taking a payment — a complimentary guest, a sponsor, or an at-the-door sale. You can issue tickets yourself from the dashboard. ## Steps - Open Ticket Sales and click Create. - Pick the ticket category and how many, then enter the attendee's name, email and phone. - Leave Send the ticket to the attendee's email on to email them their ticket (with barcode), or turn it off to create it without notifying them. - Click Save — the ticket is created, and emailed in the background when the toggle is on. ## Good to know - The attendee's QR scans at the gate like any other ticket. - The email sends in the background, so it may take a moment to arrive. - A manual ticket can be split and checked in just like a purchased one.
