Table Sales & Guest Management

Sell table tickets and empower table purchasers to allocate the seats at their table. Assign seats at the point of purchase or at a later date. Pre-fill the answers to custom questions such as meal or beverage preferences.

Once a seat is assigned, GalaBid takes care of sending an invite to the guest. Invited guests simply edit or accept any pre-filled fields and accept or decline the invite! If guests can’t attend, reassigning seats is a breeze with GalaBid’s ticket transfer feature.

NEW!

"If you are looking for a bidding site, stop here. This was my first time and it is easy to navigate. The reports they offer are phenomenal. The best part is their customer service. At any moment I had a question and posted in the chat, they were there to help me! Even during our busy EVENING event, 5 minutes before the auction was ending, I wanted to know quickly, where to find a report to view winners, top bid, etc. - they were there even then! FanTAStic company to work with!!"

“Galabid was really easy to set up and amend as needed. The online chat system was invaluable, and the help menu was really useful for helping to navigate the site. Would definitely recommend to anyone setting up a silent auction whether they have done it before or not..”
