Counts can vary by roll, so it helps to read the product title and details closely. On this page, you’ll see options like:

• 2,000 tickets per roll (often listed as 1,000 pairs), popular for raffles and 50/50 drawings.
• 500-ticket rolls, useful for smaller events or when you need multiple colors.
• Multi-packs that combine several rolls for larger crowds or multiple activities.

Quick tip: “Pairs” means two matching tickets share the same number—one for the participant, one for the drawing or records. If you’re estimating quantity, consider your expected attendance and whether you’ll offer single tickets or bundles. Checking the item description for “count,” “pairs,” or “consecutively numbered” can clarify exactly what you’re getting.

Think of it this way:

• Single tickets: One piece per number. They’re simple and often used for admission, coat checks, or basic drink/food vouchers.
• Double tickets: Two matching pieces per number with a perforation. One half goes to the buyer, the other half goes into the drawing or stays with staff for tracking—ideal for raffles, 50/50s, and prize drawings.

Many double rolls are consecutively numbered for easy tracking, and the tear line helps the halves separate cleanly. Colors vary, which is handy for organizing multiple activities. Choose single when you just need quick entry control, and double when you need a matched stub for pulls, prizes, or record-keeping.

Double roll tickets are a practical pick for 50/50s. Here’s a simple approach:

1. Use both halves: Give one half to the participant and place the matching half into a drum or container for the draw.
2. Set clear rules: Decide your ticket bundles and communicate start/end times and how the winner is selected.
3. Track numbers: Note the starting number on your roll and log ranges sold for accountability.
4. Mix thoroughly: Use a box, bag, or drum to shuffle stubs before drawing.
5. Stay compliant: Raffle guidelines can vary by location and venue. It may help to review local policies before your event.

This setup supports quick sales and easy matching without adding extra steps.

Most paper ticket rolls are easy to write on with a pen or fine-tip marker. For the best results:

• Test first: Some styles use coated or waterproof stock; try a small spot and let it dry.
• Use clear, quick marks: Permanent markers or ballpoints usually work well for names, phone numbers, or table numbers.
• Look for “blank” rolls: If you want to customize, products labeled as blank roll tickets are designed for hand-written notes or stamps.
• Consider stamps or labels: A self-inking stamp or small adhesive label can add logos or codes without fuss.

Roll tickets typically aren’t designed for standard home printers. If you need fully customized printing, reviewing item details for printability can help you choose the right style.

Good organization makes events smoother and helps with reconciliation later on.

• Record the start number: Before selling, jot down the first serial number on the roll.
• Use a dispenser or box: It keeps the roll tidy and reduces accidental tears.
• Log ranges sold: Note start/end numbers per shift or volunteer for simple auditing.
• Color-code activities: Different colors for admissions, drinks, and raffles help avoid mix-ups.
• Protect stubs: Keep collected halves in a sealed bag or box until the drawing.
• Store properly: Keep unused rolls in a cool, dry place away from moisture and heat.

These steps can help improve tracking and reduce loss, but the best system depends on your team and event size.
