But besides an event, tickets can also be required before you can board transportation vehicles such as buses, airplanes, ships, etc. to make sure you have paid the sum for the fare.

Elements of a Ticket

For instances when you are in charge for planning an event, you have to know what elements or components you need to include in your ticket in order to make it effective. Here is a list of some of the elements found in a ticket:

• Proper shape and size: Choose the shape and size of your ticket based on what can accommodate the words you are about to put in the ticket. It is important to make sure your ticket can hold all the information needed to grant one admission.
