Event registration landing page: pick a ticket
A working professional wants one ticket to a paid workshop, and needs a receipt their manager will accept. Mimiq sends simulated visitors through registration and shows where each one stops and why.
How do you test an event registration landing page before tickets go on sale?
Run the path a paid attendee takes, from the agenda to the payment step, using a ticket that is still on sale and one that is sold out. Check the time zone beside the agenda, the fields the form asks for before payment, and what the page says will arrive by email afterwards. A simulated test follows that path with visitors who have a reason to register and shows the first point where one stops.
What this looks like in a report
“The full day is gone and the half day says it starts at nine, but I can't see the time zone. I need a receipt for my manager, and I can't tell if lunch is in the price.”
The fix. Grey out sold out tickets with a line that says so, and put the time zone beside the agenda. Move the company and job title fields below the ticket choice, and show the refund rule and what lunch includes above the ticket buttons.

The ticket picker can offer a sold out ticket as the default choice
A paid attendee is deciding whether a day of their time and their company's money is worth it. They read the agenda, then look for the ticket that fits them. If the cheapest ticket sits first, a visitor who wants the full day may pick one that is already sold out, or one without the lunch they assumed was included. The form then asks for job title, company and dietary needs before they have seen what they chose. The owner sees a sale that never happened, not the visitor who stopped at the picker.
- Does the ticket picker mark a sold out ticket as unavailable, with a line that says so?
- Is the start time shown with its time zone beside the agenda, not only in the footer?
- Can a visitor see the refund rule and what lunch includes before the payment step?
- After registering, does the confirmation say what to bring, and does the email arrive?
The agenda, the time zone and the first thing an attendee reads
The attendee reads the agenda to decide whether the day is for them, then looks for the start time. Organizers often publish that time in their own zone, in a footer or a line of small text, while the visitor lives in another zone. A visitor who reads nine in the morning will assume local time, and may book a train that gets them there at the wrong hour. Check the page from a browser set to a different time zone, or ask a colleague in another city to read it. The time should carry its zone right beside the agenda, not in a footer where it is easy to miss.
Sold out tickets, default choices and fields asked too early
The ticket picker has the most failure points on the page. A ticket that is sold out can still look selectable, so a visitor clicks it and reads a message only after typing their details. A default ticket chosen for them can be the cheapest one, which may not include the lunch or the materials the agenda mentions. The form then asks for job title, company and dietary needs before the visitor has seen what they chose. Each step is small, but together they make a purchase feel like paperwork.
What the test covers before the payment step
Send a simulated visitor with a reason to attend, such as a manager who wants a seat for one team member. Its task is to pick the one day ticket and continue to the payment step, so the report covers the ticket labels, the sold out line and the form fields on the way. A payment step that needs a real card ends the run there, and the report marks that step. If your registration is free, the run can reach the confirmation email, so you can compare the page with what the email says. A visitor who sees 'check your inbox' and gets nothing has a second stop the test can show you.
Four ways to check a registration page
| Method | What it shows you | What it misses |
|---|---|---|
| Your analytics | How many visits reach the registration page and where they leave | Why a visitor left at the ticket picker |
| Session recordings | What a real visitor did on the page, after they did it | Visitors who never reached the page, and any run you can repeat on demand |
| A scripted end to end test | Whether the path you wrote still works after a change | A sold out label or a time zone you did not think to script |
| Simulated visitors | Where a visitor with a reason to register stops, and what the page said | Real demand, and how many real people would buy a ticket |
Use more than one. None of them tells you how many tickets will sell.
What you get with Mimiq
- 01
Run it by hand, or on every pull request
Paste a link and a task in the app and watch the visitors work. Or run them on every preview deploy: the GitHub Action comments on the pull request, any other CI can call the MCP endpoint, and your coding agent can run it too.
- 02
Bugs and usability problems in one report
The browser records errors and failed or slow requests on the step they happened. The visitors say where the wording or the steps confused them, and where they left.
- 03
Visitors that behave like your audience
Each visitor is a different profile with a reason to be there, matched to who the page is for, described by you, or built from your own customers.
- 04
A prompt to fix each problem
Every problem comes with a fix to paste into Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable or any coding agent, and one prompt hands over the top problems at once. Then send the same visitors through again.
- 05
Follow every visitor
See each visitor's whole path, step by step with screenshots, and what it was thinking at every step. Ask any visitor a question.
The browser records relevant JavaScript errors and failed or slow app requests encountered during the run, attached to the step where they occurred. The visitors are simulated: they find problems, they do not predict how many real people will convert.
A second workshop date can reset the ticket picker and its defaults
A new session, a new ticket tier or a new payment tool changes the picker, and the defaults can come back with it. Rerun the same simulated visitor after each change, once on a sold out ticket and once on a session in another time zone. Test again before you send paid traffic or a mailing to the page, since each new list brings attendees who are choosing for their company.

Questions
Can a simulated visitor pay for a ticket?
No. A visitor cannot pay with a real card, so a paid registration stops at the payment step. The test covers everything before that step, including the ticket choice and the form. To see the paid confirmation, use a test order in your payment tool's test mode.
Does this tell me how many people will register?
No. Mimiq does not predict registrations, and it cannot tell you how many people will buy a ticket once the page is live. It shows where a simulated visitor stopped, which ticket they could not choose and what the confirmation said. Your ticketing reports give the sales numbers, and a live change measured against the same traffic gives the cause.
Should the test use my real attendee list?
No. Use made-up names and addresses in the test, and do not upload a list of past attendees. A test visitor should never see or send a real person's details. Keep real attendee records out of the test entirely.
Can the test show whether a refund works?
It can show whether the refund rule is visible before the payment step. It cannot tell you whether a refund would be paid correctly, because the test does not complete a payment. Check the refund path yourself with a test order.
