Free Event Ticketing and Check-In

Yes. Set up a table ticket with the number of seats. The purchaser assigns the seats at checkout or later, and GalaBid invites each guest by email to confirm their details.

Yes. Free ticket types work exactly like paid ones without the payment step. Useful for sponsors, speakers and free-entry school fairs.

Yes, you can set a capacity for the event overall and the number of each type ticket available for sale.

Yes. Add custom questions at registration in tick box, multiple choice or free text format and export the answers for your caterer.

Guests show their PDF ticket. Staff mark them in from a laptop or phone using a volunteer account or the dashboard, and can issue paddle numbers at the same time. QR scanning is coming soon.

No. The guest receives a benefit, so Gift Aid does not apply to the ticket price. Add a separate donation item for gifts that do qualify.

Yes. The purchaser or the campaign admin can transfer the ticket to another guest.

Determine which guests are to be seated at which table. Simply set up tables and assign guests.

Often not, if your event meets HMRC's fundraising events exemption. If it does apply, GalaBid can add VAT to the ticket price. Check with your accountant.

GalaBid integrates exclusively with Stripe UK for online payment processing. Stripe accounts are easy to set up from within GalaBid. Stripe's card fees can be passed on to ticket purchasers as an optional or mandatory fee.

It settles to your own Stripe account. GalaBid never holds your funds. Stripe's standard UK payout timing then applies.

Yes. An add-a-donation option at ticket checkout can be enabled on your campaign.  

Yes, and it connects ticketing to the auction, raffle and pledges on the night, which Eventbrite does not do. There are no per-ticket booking fees added by GalaBid; see pricing for current UK plans.

Ticket payments currently go through Stripe online, or tickets can be free. On some plans ticket purchasers can request an invoice intead of paying online.
