Why ticketing platforms ask this
On-sale moments create a spike nothing else has to handle. It usually surfaces the first time a real list goes out, when on-sale alerts, purchase confirmations and entry details stop being a plan and become a send.
What it changes for you
Get this right and the outcome is sell-outs without a support queue. Get it wrong and the cost shows up quietly, in messages nobody read and money already spent.
Doing it in the platform
The compose screen shows the segment count, the cost and the sender name before anything leaves, so the decision is made before the money moves.
