Run ticketing for a charity gala Guías por tipo de evento # Run ticketing for a charity gala Charity and fundraising teams sell a gala dinner by the seat and by the table, with sponsors to seat and a meal choice for every guest. Seats, tables and company invoices all come from the same event. On the night, your door team finds every guest by name. Sell gala seats and whole tables, invoice a company for a block of seats, ask every guest for their meal choice, send sponsors their tickets, let supporters bring friends, email your guests and welcome them at the door. Para: Charity and fundraising teams selling a gala dinner, benefit or awards night by the seat and by the table Dura: 16 minutos - [Create the gala event](#step-1) - [Sell individual seats](#step-2) - [Sell whole tables](#step-3) - [Invoice a company for a block of seats](#step-4) - [Ask every guest for their meal choice](#step-5) - [Send sponsors and honoured guests their tickets](#step-6) - [Let supporters bring their friends](#step-7) - [Email your guests the evening's details](#step-8) - [Welcome each guest at the door](#step-9) ## Antes de empezar - You're a brand owner or admin. You can create the event, its tickets and tables, its checkout questions and its emails. - You know your seat prices, how many tables you have and how many guests sit at each. - You have the names and email addresses of the sponsors and honoured guests you seat for free. 1. ## Create the gala event Select **Create Event** and choose **Start from scratch**, then enter the gala's name, date, venue and description. [Create an event](https://www.ticketfairy.com/es/guides/create-an-event) ![Ticket Fairy event template gallery with the event assistant and built-in event setups](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-event-templates--gallery.png) Create Event, template gallery. 2. ## Sell individual seats On **Tickets**, create a ticket type for each seat price, such as Gala seat and Supporter seat, with its price and how many you can sell. **Nota:** Give each seat price its own share of the room rather than the whole capacity, so the seats and tables together never sell more places than you have. [Set up ticket types](https://www.ticketfairy.com/es/guides/set-up-ticket-types) ![Ticket Fairy ticket type form with the name, price, Maximum Number of Sales and purchase multiple](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-ticket-page-form--create.png) Event, Tickets, Create Ticket Type. 3. ## Sell whole tables Under **Table Types**, select **Create** for each table you sell, with its price, the number of guests it seats and the share paid online. **Nota:** Enter the same number as the minimum and the maximum guests for a table that always seats ten. Every table booking asks the buyer for an identity check before we confirm it.

[Sell a block of tickets to a company and invoice them](https://www.ticketfairy.com/es/guides/take-a-group-booking-and-invoice-it) ![Ticket Fairy group bookings table listing each company with its passes, price, payment terms and status from draft through to paid](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-group-bookings--bookings.png) Event, Group Bookings. 5. ## Ask every guest for their meal choice Open **Settings** on the event, select **Create Custom Field** and choose **Ticket** under **Append to**, so each seat carries its own answer. **Nota:** A table booking is one ticket for the whole party, so it holds one answer. To collect each table guest's choice, send the person who booked the table the link to a form that asks the same question. [Añade preguntas personalizadas al proceso de compra de tu evento](https://www.ticketfairy.com/es/guides/add-custom-checkout-questions) ![Ticket Fairy Create Custom Field dialog with the checkout question settings](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-checkout-customisation--custom-field-create.png) Event, Settings, Custom Fields, Create Custom Field. 6. ## Send sponsors and honoured guests their tickets Open **Guest Tickets**, select **Send Guest Tickets**, then choose the seat or table and enter each guest's details. **Nota:** An event that sells tables lists them in the same field, so a sponsor's table goes out as one guest booking. [Envía boletos gratuitos a tu lista de invitados](https://www.ticketfairy.com/es/guides/issue-guest-tickets) ![Ticket Fairy Send Guest Tickets form with a recipient, ticket type and quantity](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-guest-tickets--send-guest-tickets.png) Event, Guest Tickets, Send Guest Tickets. 7. ## Let supporters bring their friends Optional: On **Tickets**, open **Settings** and keep **Disable Rewards System** off, so each paying guest gets a referral link that earns back part of their ticket. **Nota:** Set the reward tiers before the first ticket sells, because the terms buyers saw when they bought stay fixed.

[Envía un correo a quienes compraron boletos para tu evento](https://www.ticketfairy.com/es/guides/email-your-buyers) ![Ticket Fairy email composer with the audience selector](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-messaging--email-composer.png) Event, Messaging, New Email. 9. ## Welcome each guest at the door Open **Check-In** and select **Individual Tickets** to find a guest by name or email address as they arrive. **Nota:** Once a guest is in, the row shows when they checked in and who admitted them.

Set the online share to 100 to take the whole price online once the buyer passes the identity check, or lower to take a deposit and collect the rest yourself. Can a company pay for its seats by invoice?: Yes, with group bookings. You build the company's block from your real ticket types, record their purchase order number and payment terms on the booking, get it signed off where you need to, and raise one invoice with a due date that matches their terms. Can each guest at a table give their own meal choice?: A table booking is one ticket for the whole party, so it holds one answer to a ticket question rather than one for each guest. Guests who buy individual seats answer for themselves, and we can turn on each table guest's name, email and phone at checkout for your event when you ask. How do I give a sponsor their table?: Send it from Guest Tickets. Choose the table type in the ticket field and enter the sponsor's details, and the booking takes one table from that type's stock. Can guests add a donation when they buy their seat?: Checkout has no field for a gift of an amount the guest chooses. Create an add-on for each gift you suggest, such as 25 and 50, so a guest adds one beside their seat in the same checkout, and link your own donation page in the words you add to the confirmation email for a gift of any other size. ## ¿Todavía tienes una pregunta?
