Table Sales and Guest Management Made Easy

Sell whole tables and let purchasers invite and manage their own guests, at checkout or later. Collect meal choices, dietary requirements and other details in advance.

GalaBid sends each guest an invitation to confirm attendance and review their details. If plans change, tickets can be transferred to another guest.

From Ticket Sales to Check-In, All in One Place

Set up your tickets, collect guest details and manage registrations in one dashboard. When event day arrives, check guests in from a phone or laptop.

Frequently asked questions about event ticketing

What does ticketing software do for Australian events?

arrow-down

It sells tickets and tables, collects the information you need from attendees, checks them in on the night and reports on it afterward. GalaBid does that inside the same campaign as your auction, raffle and donations.

Is there an upfront fee?

arrow-down

Ask our Australian team for pricing for your event. We will explain the software costs, payment processing and any optional services.

Can we sell corporate tables?

arrow-down

Yes. Sell full tables alongside individual tickets and let table purchasers invite and manage their own guests. Our Australian team can confirm which payment options are available for your event.

Do ticket buyers have to register again to bid?

arrow-down

No. Ticketing sits in the same campaign as your auction, so a ticket buyer is already registered and ready to bid, buy or donate.

How does check in work?

arrow-down

A volunteer logs in on any device, opens Event Check-In and scans QR codes. You can see at a glance who has accepted, who is pending and who has declined.

Can we collect meal choices?

arrow-down

Yes, with custom fields and checklists at purchase, so you can collect dietary needs, accessibility requirements or any other information you need in advance.

Are event tickets tax deductible?

arrow-down

Only partly, in many cases. The deductible portion is generally what a supporter pays above the value of what they receive, such as dinner. Check your position with your tax adviser.

Who works out the deductible amount?

arrow-down

Your organisation, usually with your accountant. GalaBid supplies the transaction data and the values you record.

Can we offer complimentary tickets?

arrow-down

Yes. Complimentary admission is a ticket type, which is useful for invited guests, sponsors and staff.

Can we change seating after tickets are sold?

arrow-down

Yes. Tables and seat assignments can be edited without cancelling and reissuing tickets.

What reports do we get?

arrow-down

Excel exports on ticket sales, attendees, custom field responses and payments, which is what your finance team needs for event reporting.

Can supporters donate when buying a ticket?

arrow-down

Yes. Donations are prompted at checkout with a slider or suggested amounts.

Can we reuse the event next year?

arrow-down

Yes. Clone Campaign copies ticket types, table structure, branding and payment settings.
