When registering, please note the difference between a Buyer and an Attendee!
These roles change depending on the scenario:
An individual makes a ticket purchase for themselves, so the buyer and attendee are the same
An individual makes a ticket purchase for one or more other people, so the buyer and attendee(s) are not the same
An individual makes a ticket purchase for themselves and other(s), so they are both the buyer and attendee, in addition to other attendee(s)
