Handling Specific Scenarios

High-Volume Ticket Sales

Cash Payments

  • Direct cash-paying guests to the event host manager. Only they can handle cash transactions for tickets.

Ticket Scanning Issues

  • If a ticket won’t scan, use the name search in the Eventbrite Organizer app. If the guest isn’t listed, escalate to the event host manager.

Crowd Control and Venue Transitions

  • Remind guests they must leave each venue when its time slot ends to move to the next location.
  • DJs will assist by announcing venue transitions. Encourage guests to take a photo of the QR code with venue details.

Managing Guests Without Wristbands

  • If guests arrive at later venues without wristbands, check for a stamp. Those without stamps must purchase a ticket. Direct them to the event host manager if necessary.

Large Group Handling

  • For large groups, split into designated roles: one for scanning and stamping, another for wristbands. Ensure clear lanes for guests with and without wristbands to maintain flow.

Policies and Disclaimers

  • Ticket Validity: Tickets are valid only for specific time slots at designated venues. Late arrivals or incorrect venues are non-refundable.
  • Venue Capacity: Entry is subject to each venue’s capacity. Guests may need to wait if a venue is full, and refunds will not be issued.
  • Weather Considerations: The event will proceed rain or shine; guests should dress appropriately.

Refund Policy
