Ticketing and Registration

You may not need to ticket or register guests for your event—many events can be held without it. However, adding ticketing or registration can help with planning, safety, and communications.

Free Event Options

If your event is open and free to attend, registration may not be necessary. You can also use simple tools (like RSVP forms) to get an estimated headcount.

Determining if an event should be ticketed

Ticketing or registration may be helpful if your event involves:

• Limited venue capacity
• Safety or crowd control needs
• Security concerns
• A requirement from the venue
• Collection of attendee data for follow-up

Paid Ticketing or Registration

If you plan to charge for admission or require paid registration, you must use an approved, PCI-compliant system that is registered with merchant services and follow any ticketing requirements.
