Can I sell different tickets for competitors and spectators?

Yes, Eventbrite allows you to create multiple custom ticket types. You can easily set up separate tickets for competitor entries, general admission spectators, vendor booths, and even special passes like early-bird or VIP tickets, each with its own price and capacity.

How can I manage entries for different breeds or competition classes?

You can create a unique ticket type for each class (e.g., 'Golden Retriever - Open Class,' 'Agility - Novice'). This lets you control the number of entries for each specific competition and track registrations by class directly from your event dashboard.

Is Eventbrite a good platform for a small, local club dog show?

Absolutely. Eventbrite is scalable for events of any size. Our tools make it easy for local clubs to create a professional-looking event page, manage registrations online, and simplify check-in, freeing up your volunteers to focus on running a great show.

Can I sell tickets for vendor booths or sponsorships?

Yes, you can create specific ticket types for vendor spaces or sponsorship packages. This streamlines the registration and payment process for your partners and helps you manage all event-related revenue in one place.

How do I promote my event to other pet lovers?

Eventbrite gives you built-in marketing tools. You can send email campaigns to your contacts and use our integrations with Facebook and Instagram to run targeted ads. Plus, your event gets listed in our marketplace, helping you with discovery.

What if I need to collect additional information from competitors?

While creating your event, you can customize the order form to ask registrants custom questions. This is useful for collecting information like the dog's name, breed, or age for each competitor entry.
