Review the following options to see whether it makes sense to sell tickets or direct your supporters to the signup page in order to give them access to online mobile bidding at your event.
- If you are having a live auction and/or paddle raise using bid paddles, in-person guests must purchase or be issued a ticket. Tickets are the mechanism for assigning each guest a bidder number. A ticket may cost $0.
- If you want to charge admission for in-person (or all) guests, you must sell tickets.
- If you're already selling tickets for in-person guests, it's usually easier to add a $0 Online Bidding Only ticket for remote supporters. This allows you to direct everyone, regardless of how they plan to participate, to the same place to register for your event. And all registered guests can be found, managed, and invited to bid from the Tickets page or the Send Invites screen (filtered to Ticketed Guests).
- If your event is free and all bidding is taking place via smartphones, tickets are not necessary. You can make things easier for your participants by directing them to the Signup form (a more streamlined registration process) and turning off your Buy Tickets/Online Registration page.
