[Getting people in the door quickly] wasn’t something that happened before. But since we’ve switched to Eventbrite, we decided to release all of our tickets ahead of time instead of holding the majority to sell at the door.Megan Wilson, Director of Digital Strategy, Harpoon Brewery
How to Organize & Sell Tickets for a Track & Field Event

How to host a track & field event successfully
A successful track and field meet requires precision planning. Start by securing your venue, permits, and qualified officials. Then, map out the schedule of events, ensuring you have enough time and volunteers for each discipline, from sprints and hurdles to javelin and long jump.
Your next step is setting up a clear and simple track & field registration process. An efficient system is key to managing entries and avoiding confusion on event day. With a powerful track & field event platform, you can:
Create distinct ticket types for each event, age group, or skill level.
Set registration deadlines and capacity limits for popular events.
Collect essential athlete information during checkout, such as team affiliation or qualifying times.
Offer team or group registration packages to streamline entries for clubs and schools.
