How to host a hockey event that scores with fans and players

Organizing a hockey event, from a local youth tournament to a charity all-star game, requires careful planning. Eventbrite provides the tools to manage the process from start to finish, so you can focus on the action on the ice.

Your Game Plan for Success

  • Secure Your Venue: Lock in your ice time at the local rink or arena well in advance.

  • Define Your Event: Is it a multi-team tournament, a single exhibition game, or a full season? Structure your schedule and brackets.

  • Set Up Ticketing & Registration: Create your event page on Eventbrite. Set up different ticket types for fans (like single-game or season passes) and create a seamless hockey registration process for teams and players.

  • Promote Your Games: Use our email and social media marketing tools to reach local hockey families, fans, and community groups. Build excitement and drive early ticket sales.

  • Manage Gameday: Use the Eventbrite Organizer app for fast check-in at the door. Scan QR-code tickets to get fans to their seats before the puck drops.
