Can I create different ticket prices for participants who bring their own kayak versus those who need a rental?

Yes, you can easily create multiple custom ticket types. Set different prices and quantities for participants with their own gear, those needing single kayak rentals, and those needing tandem rentals to accurately manage your inventory.

How can I collect emergency contact information from participants?

You can customize your event's order form to collect essential information from every paddler. Add custom questions to gather details like emergency contacts, dietary restrictions for included meals, or skill level.

Is it possible to set a maximum number of participants for my kayaking tour?

Absolutely. When you set up your tickets on Eventbrite, you can define the total capacity for your event. This ensures you don't oversell spots and can maintain a safe and manageable group size on the water.

Can I send a pre-event email with a weather update and gear checklist?

Yes, our integrated email tools allow you to contact all registered attendees at once. You can schedule emails to go out before your event with important updates, reminders, and detailed instructions to ensure everyone is prepared.

How do I handle check-ins at an outdoor location like a beach or boat launch?

The Eventbrite Organizer app is designed for mobile check-in anywhere. As long as you have a mobile signal, you can scan QR codes on attendees' phones or look up their names to check them in quickly right at the launch point.

What's the best way to promote my kayaking event to local outdoor enthusiasts?

Eventbrite helps your event get discovered by people searching for outdoor activities in your area. You can also use our integration with Facebook and Instagram to create targeted ad campaigns that reach potential paddlers near you.
