# Event Tickets 5.4.0.2

### Summary

Maintenance Release

The latest version of Event Tickets adds a safety check when creating tickets with Tickets Commerce and PayPal, to avoid declined purchases.

As always, we recommend [testing updates](https://docs.nexcess.com/software/the-events-calendar/creating-and-using-a-wordpress-staging-site/) on a staging site first, but it should all be smooth sailing.
