Can I sell both team registrations and individual spectator tickets?

Yes, Eventbrite's basketball event ticketing allows you to create multiple ticket types for a single event. You can easily set up and sell team registration packages, individual player entries, and general admission tickets for fans, all from one event page.

How can I manage different age groups or divisions for my tournament?

You can create a unique ticket type for each division (e.g., 'U-14 Team Registration,' 'Men's Open Division'). This keeps your basketball registration organized and makes it simple for teams to sign up for the correct bracket from the start.

Is it possible to offer discounts for early team sign-ups?

Absolutely. You can create 'Early Bird' ticket types that are available for a limited time, or you can generate promo codes that offer a percentage or flat discount. This is a great way to encourage teams to register early for your basketball event.

Can I use Eventbrite to email updates to registered teams?

Yes, our built-in email marketing tools let you contact attendees directly. You can send schedule updates, rule reminders, or venue information to all registered players and team captains to ensure everyone is on the same page.

What's the best way to handle check-in on game day?

The Eventbrite Organizer app is your solution for a fast and efficient check-in. Your staff can scan QR codes on players' and fans' phones or printed tickets, eliminating the need for cumbersome paper lists and getting everyone into the venue quickly.

Can I sell merchandise like jerseys or T-shirts with my tickets?

Yes, you can list merchandise as an 'add-on' during the checkout process. This allows teams and fans to purchase items like tournament T-shirts or basketballs when they register or buy their tickets, helping you boost revenue.
