How can I manage different start times for my walking event?

You can easily manage staggered start times using Eventbrite's timed entry feature. This allows you to create specific time slots for registration, which helps control crowd flow at the starting line and on the route.

Can I offer group or team registration for my walk?

Yes, Eventbrite supports group registration. You can allow participants to sign up as a team, making it easy for families, friends, or corporate groups to register and pay together for your walking event.

What's the best way to handle check-in for a large number of walkers?

The Eventbrite Organizer app is the most efficient way to handle check-in. You and your volunteers can use your smartphones to quickly scan the QR codes on attendees' tickets, reducing queues and getting everyone on their way.

Can I sell t-shirts or other merchandise with my event registration?

Yes, you can sell merchandise by creating different ticket types (e.g., 'Registration + T-Shirt') or by using our add-on feature. This allows you to bundle items with registration or sell them separately.

How do I promote my charity walk to get more participants?

Eventbrite offers built-in marketing tools to help you succeed. Use our email campaign features to reach your contacts and our integration with Facebook and Instagram to promote your walk to a wider audience on social media.

Is it possible to create a free walking event and just collect RSVPs?

Absolutely. You can set up a free event on Eventbrite to collect RSVPs instead of selling tickets. This is a great way to get a headcount and communicate with your participants before the event, and it's free for you and your attendees.
