How can I manage both paid tickets and free RSVPs for my Pride event?

You can create multiple ticket types on the same event page. Set up paid tickets for general admission and create a separate, free ticket type for volunteers, parade marchers, or staff to easily manage all registrations in one place.

Can I sell pride parade tickets or registrations for groups?

Yes, our group registration feature is perfect for parade contingents. You can set a maximum number of attendees per group, allowing organizations and community groups to sign up their members all at once.

What tools does Eventbrite offer to promote my LGBTQ+ event?

Eventbrite provides integrated email marketing tools and a seamless integration with Facebook and Instagram. You can also use Eventbrite Ads with Smart Audiences to target people likely to be interested in your Pride event.

Is it possible to sell tickets for a multi-day pride festival?

Absolutely. You can set up an event that spans multiple days and create different ticket types for each day, such as a weekend pass, a single-day ticket, or VIP access for the entire festival, giving you total flexibility.

How do I handle check-ins for a large crowd at a Pride festival?

The Eventbrite Organizer app turns your phone into a ticket scanner. Attendees receive QR codes with their tickets, allowing for fast, contactless check-in to keep entry lines short and your guests happy.

Can I offer discount codes to community partners or sponsors?

Yes, you can create and distribute an unlimited number of unique promo codes. This is a great way to offer special pricing to sponsors, community partners, or early supporters and track where your ticket sales are coming from.
