1. You can add a button to purchase tickets to a linked event by toggling **Ticket Purchase Required** to **YES** on the Auction Settings tab and selecting the event the auction is linked to.
2. You cannot select an event the auction is not already paired with.
3. However, a ticket purchase is **NOT** required to participate in the online auction.
4. This label will be updated soon in the software to reflect the change.
