Ticket Sizes
Tickets are usually handy, one that can fit in your purse or slip into your pocket, and you
could determine the appropriate size of a ticket by determining its function or purpose.
Whether you need to create a ticket for discounts, a game show, or a party invitation,
picking out the right size is important so you may be able to include all the graphics and
incorporate all its details.
Ticket Sizes Standard
A ticket’s size matters only if you are able to determine beforehand what purpose will it
serve, take for example a BBQ dinner raffle ticket should have a stub that is detachable, or
perhaps airline tickets can still follow the standard size but stubs are usually not included
since a separate boarding pass for flights is issued after check-in. Here are the following
standard ticket sizes that you can choose from.

for raffle and lottery tickets.

Ticket Sizes for Print
Before you can print out your ticket, decide on the printable space where you need to print
all relevant information if you need to include a stub which would require using longer
sheets of card stock or paper, as well as pre-perforating the stub to make them easier to
tear off. You can still take into account the standard sizes mentioned in this article once you
have decided to print out the tickets.
Ticket Sizes for Email
E-tickets are quite popular nowadays; once a customer pays online, instead of mailing a
physical copy, an electronic ticket copy is sent via email instead, and since e-tickets can be
shared with anyone, they must have anti-counterfeit features. So when sending a virtual
ticket copy via email, the image size should be around 600–620 px wide while the length is
often adjustable to the design and attachments should be 20MB for Outlook, 25MB for
Gmail and Yahoo Mail.

for the organizers and companies, so the standard ticket sizes that are mentioned earlier

basketball, since all these places and events require a ticket for entry and to admit people to
