If you'd like to offer comp tickets, there are a few different ways you can go about this:

1. **Comp an entire order** when selling via your admin panel.
2. **Create a $0 ticket price that is "admin only",** so only admins have access to this price when selling tickets via your admin panel.
3. **Create a 100% discount code** that you can give to patrons to use when buying tickets on their own (can include limits to give X number of free tickets).

## Comp. an entire order

When selling tickets via your admin panel, you have three payment options by default: Credit, Cash, and Complimentary. You can process sales via your admin panel by clicking the **New Order** button next to an event time and adding tickets to your cart. Once you're in the cart, click the **Complimentary** button.

***This method will comp. the entire order.***

## Create a $0 ticket price that is "Admins Only" (a mix of free and paid tickets)

Click the **Pricing** button next to your event and add a new $0 ticket price, ensuring you set the "Access" to **Admins Only**.

Now, when you go to sell tickets via your admin panel (using the **New Order** button next to an event time), the $0 price will be available. Remember, *only admins* have access to this via your admin panel because it was set to "Admins Only" — this price will be hidden from patrons online.

## Create a 100% off discount code

Click the **Pricing** button next to your event and then select the **Discounts** button. Here you can create a 100% discount code that anyone with the code can apply to their order during checkout.

The most popular option is to create a 100% discount that is limited to X number of tickets (to prevent someone from getting unlimited free tickets). *Suggested Article*: [Create a discount for free ($0) tickets](https://support.ludus.com/create-a-discount-for-free-dollar0-tickets)
