You can add a second email address on patron profiles.  The primary purpose of this is to merge records when you find a patron has purchased tickets under a different email address and you want to keep that email as part of the record. 

Having a secondary email address on an account allows the patron to log in using either address once merged and view all purchases. If this is a partner's email address, a secondary email address lets the patron log in with either address. After merging, both patrons can log in, view purchase history, and print tickets.

The secondary email address does not:

- Send a second marketing email to that address.
- Send a second confirmation email.
