After choosing your Event Ticket design, the next step will be to edit the fields currently shown on the pass, and add some of your own.
This article will cover the following,
Terminology

A specific piece of information displayed on the pass.
Design:
The visual layout and organization of the pass.

Field Key:
A unique identifier for a custom data field.

Editing and deleting current fields
Editing Fields
To edit a field from your design, click on the field to open the field settings. Make your changes and click on Save.
Any changes made to a field will apply to the field on both Google and Apple designs.
Note: Any changes you make will immediately be sent to any passes issued from that tier when you click Save. Please double check before 'Saving'.
Deleting Fields
To delete a field from your design, first click on the field to open the field settings. Depending which design you are looking at you will have the option to remove the field from the Apple or Google design.
You will need to remove the field from both designs independently.
Moving fields on the Event Ticket design
Moving fields on the design is easy, simply drag and drop the field to the desired location, click Save when done.
Tip: The design is governed by the Apple Wallet and Google Wallet specifications, so field have set positions in the design. The rule of thumb is that if you can't do it in the designer, then it's not possible.
Adding new fields, including custom fields
There are 3 different types of fields you can add to your design.
Secure Fields - Secure fields (PII) store personal information about the pass holder. PassKit encrypts this data at rest and in transit.
Custom Data Fields -
Fields where the data remains the same across all passes
Fields where the data can be different for each pass
More information regarding Custom Fields here

Click on the plus sign where you want to add the field, click on New Data Field and click 'Add'
Select "This value is the same for each member.", then:

Change the label of the field to what you want, I'm using "Special Requirements"
Note: No need to set a default value as these values are provided when the pass is issued.
Click "Done" when finished.
Now we need to add the field to the other design.
