The TicketCreator main window of has five sections:

The list shows for each sections the files that can be used. Select a file in the list and perform the requested operation. If you want to use a file that is not in the list, you have to add it to the list first. See file list below.

Events

An event (*.tiv) contains the event, venue, and ticket layout. For each performance of the event there is a seat list (*.tia) logging free and printed seats, the reservation list (*.tis), the list of deleted tickets (*.tig), and the list of printed reservations (*.tip). These files must always be in the same directory.

If you select an event in the list its information is shown in the bottom panel: The event note (which you can edit with the edit button ), the event file and the venue in which the event takes place. If there are several performances the percentage of not printed (green) and printed (red) tickets is shown for all performances.

The bottom right panel shows the selected performance, the percentage of not printed (green) and printed (red) tickets for the selected performance and its date and time. Use the edit button to  add a performance note. If the performance is part of a season ticket the appropriate button allows to switch to the season ticket.

Subscriptions

If you want to print a seat for several events at the same time, you can combine these events as a subscription. Thereby you have to select and print a seat only once in the subscription, instead of selecting and printing the seat in each event individually. For each event a separate ticket is printed.

However, a subscription requires that all events take place in the same venue and have the same ticket format and price structure.

If a subscription is selected the included performances are listed and details on the selected performance are shown in the bottom right panel. The appropriate button allows to switch to the selected performance.
