# Run ticketing for an esports tournament | Guías de Ticket Fairy 1. [Ticket Fairy](https://www.ticketfairy.com/) 2. [Guías](https://www.ticketfairy.com/es/guides) 3. Run ticketing for an esports tournament Guías por tipo de evento # Run ticketing for an esports tournament Esports and gaming tournaments sell seats to spectators while running a separate sign-up for the players who compete. You can keep player places away from the public, give teams, casters and crew their passes, and see how many tickets your stream sells. Sell spectator passes for an esports or gaming tournament, take player sign-ups with a form, issue player tickets from a place spectators cannot buy, give teams and crew passes, measure the tickets your stream sells, and check everybody in on the day. Para: Running an esports or gaming tournament with players and a paying crowd Dura: 20 minutos - [Build the tournament from the Convention template](#step-1) - [Take player and team sign-ups with a form](#step-2) - [Create a Player ticket type spectators cannot buy](#step-3) - [Send each accepted player their ticket](#step-4) - [Sell jerseys and merchandise with the spectator pass](#step-5) - [Give team staff, casters and crew a multi-entry pass](#step-6) - [Give your stream its own tracking link](#step-7) - [Open the on-sale at the minute you announce it](#step-8) - [Put the scanning app on the door team's phones](#step-9) - [Check players and spectators in on the day](#step-10) ## Antes de empezar - You're a brand owner or admin. You can create events, change tickets and add-ons, read applications and publish. - You know how many player places the tournament has, what you ask each player or team, and what spectator passes cost. - You have the list of casters, press, production crew and team staff who come in without buying a ticket. 1. ## Build the tournament from the Convention template Select **Create Event**, choose **Convention**, then rename its weekend, day and VIP passes for your spectators, such as Weekend spectator and Finals day. The template puts a name on every ticket, so each spectator's pass carries their own name. **Nota:** A one-day tournament keeps the Day pass and removes the Weekend pass. Remove the Cloakroom add-on if you do not run one.

Every sign-up arrives in one list with a column for each answer, so you pick the field before anyone gets a place. **Nota:** Every form starts with an email question you cannot remove, which is where your decision email goes. [Take act and trader applications for your event](https://www.ticketfairy.com/es/guides/take-applications-with-a-form) ![Ticket Fairy Forms page with two sign-up forms, their dates and their public addresses](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-custom-forms--forms.png) Event, Forms. 3. ## Create a Player ticket type spectators cannot buy On the event's **Tickets** page, create a ticket type named Player with your number of player places as its allocation, then turn on **Hidden** and choose **Always hidden**. Player places then never appear on your public event page. **Nota:** Enter 0 as the price for a free tournament. A tournament with an entry fee can leave the Player ticket type visible so players buy their own place. [Set up ticket types](https://www.ticketfairy.com/es/guides/set-up-ticket-types) ![Ticket Fairy ticket type form with the name, price and Maximum Number of Sales](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-ticket-page-form--create.png) Tickets, Create Ticket Type. 4. ## Send each accepted player their ticket Open **Guest Tickets**, select **Send Guest Tickets** and send each player you accepted a ticket on the Player ticket type, with their own name on it. Each player's ticket carries a barcode for the door, and the issued list shows who you have sent. **Nota:** Press and guest casters get their tickets the same way on a spectator pass. A guest ticket comes out of the stock of the ticket type it is on.

Spectators add them in the same checkout as their pass. **Nota:** Limit an add-on to the passes it belongs with, so the Player ticket type is never offered merchandise meant for the crowd. [Sell parking, camping and merchandise with your tickets](https://www.ticketfairy.com/es/guides/sell-add-ons-with-your-tickets) ![Ticket Fairy Create Add-On form with the name, price, stock and the switches that limit it](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-add-ons--new-add-on.png) Tickets, Add-Ons, Create Add-On. 6. ## Give team staff, casters and crew a multi-entry pass Open **Multi-Entry Passes** on your brand, create a pass type for each group, such as Team staff, Caster and Production, then add each person under **Enter Recipient** and send the passes. The same app scans passes and tickets, and a pass does not take a ticket out of your allocation. **Nota:** The maximum number of uses covers the whole tournament rather than one day, so set it high enough for every trip in and out. We turn passes on for a brand, so ask us if the page is not in your menu.

With the link in your stream panel and chat, the tracking links table shows the clicks, orders and ticket revenue your stream brings in. **Nota:** A tracking link measures a placement and pays nobody. Make a separate one for each channel, co-streamer or partner you want to compare.

The tournament page goes public at that minute in the event's own timezone. [Programa cuándo se publica tu evento](https://www.ticketfairy.com/es/guides/schedule-when-your-event-goes-live) ![Ticket Fairy Schedule Publish dialog with the date and time the tournament page goes public](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-event-publish--schedule-publish-dialog.png) Publish, Schedule Publish. 9. ## Put the scanning app on the door team's phones Open **Check-In** and select **Download App** for the Entry Fairy links on both app stores. Each person on the door signs in with their own Door Staff login, so every admission carries a name. [Escanea los boletos en la entrada](https://www.ticketfairy.com/es/guides/scan-tickets-at-the-door) ![Ticket Fairy Entry Fairy scanning app download links for the tournament door team](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-check-in--download-the-app.png) Event, Check-In, Download App. 10. ## Check players and spectators in on the day Open **Check-In** as players and spectators arrive, then select the **Ticket Type** tab. It counts players apart from spectators, so you know how many players are in before the first match. ![Ticket Fairy check-in report with arrivals by hour against tickets sold on tournament day](https://www.ticketfairy.com/embeds/posters/marketing-check-in--hourly-report.png) Event, Check-In. ## Prueba estos pasos en tu propio evento Crea una cuenta gratis, monta tu evento y sigue los pasos de arriba en tu propio panel.

Sin tarjeta de crédito. ## Preguntas que puedes tener Can players pay an entry fee?: Yes. Price the Player ticket type at your entry fee and leave it visible, so each player buys their own place at checkout. A hidden Player ticket type suits a free or invited field, where you send each place yourself. How do I register a whole team at once?: Ask for the team name and every member's gamer tag on the sign-up form, then send the team's tickets on the Player ticket type once you accept them. One email address receives every ticket in a batch, so send each player their own when they arrive separately. Can I see which of my spectators came from the stream?: Yes, through the tracking link you put in your stream panel and chat. The tracking links table counts the clicks, orders and ticket revenue that link brought in. Do team staff and casters need a ticket as well as a pass?: No. A multi-entry pass scans at the same door as a ticket, lets its holder in and out up to its maximum uses, and does not take a ticket out of your allocation. Can I run a free tournament with free spectator seats?: Yes. Enter 0 as the price on the spectator passes and the Player ticket type, and buyers still get a barcode each for the door. ## ¿Todavía tienes una pregunta?
