How-to: Add Raffle or Sweepstakes Tickets You’ve Sold Offline

Add physical ticket purchases to your Raffle or Sweepstakes entry records so donors can participate offline. 

If you’re selling Raffle or Sweepstakes entries offline in addition to the tickets being sold online, you’ll need to add these tickets to your entry records in RallyUp. This will ensure that all entries are included when you draw a winner. 

Before You Begin 

  • The Enter Physical Entries option will be available in Experience Management once your Experience is published. 
  • If you’re adding Sweepstakes tickets, you’ll need to confirm that the donor was informed of the free entry option before they purchased their tickets offline. This helps you comply with local and federal laws and regulations.
  • All free entries for your Sweepstakes must be mailed in using the free entry link in the official rules section of your Sweepstakes page. For more information, see this Knowledge Base article: Understand: Sweepstakes Free Entries.  

Entry Numbers

The system will ask for the start and end numbers for the tickets that were sold for each person. You can have the system automatically assign entry numbers, or manually assign your own entry numbers: 


Note that if you manually assign your own entry numbers, you won't need to include the prefixes. To learn more about entry number prefixes and how entry numbers are automatically assigned, see this Knowledge Base article: Understand: How Raffle and Sweepstakes Entry Numbers are Assigned.

Add Tickets One at a Time 

  1. Select Experiences from the left menu.  
  2. If you have chosen a list view, click on the Experience title. If you have chosen a grid view, click on the Experience image

Import Multiple Tickets 

If you plan to sell many tickets offline, we recommend downloading our import template when your Experience starts. This will allow you to add all sales to the template and import them in just a few steps rather than one at a time. 

  1. Select Experiences from the left menu.  
  2. If you have chosen a list view, click on the Experience title. If you have chosen a grid view, click on the Experience image
  3. Select Enter Physical Tickets. 
  4. Click on Add tickets, then select Import multiple ticket purchases.
  5. This will bring up a pop-up window:

  1. Follow the instructions in the pop-up step by step until you successfully upload all ticket entries.  
  2. When you’re done, select Import.
