While Evey offers many customizable options, one question that sometimes arises is whether it's possible to create a ticketless event. Currently, Evey does not support ticketless events.
Here are some reasons why it's not possible:
The ticketing system is integral to how the platform functions, from registration using the attendee form to check-in. Tickets serve as the primary means of managing attendance, providing a way to track who is attending the event, controlling access, and ensuring that the event runs smoothly.
One of the main benefits of using Evey is its ability to track attendance accurately. Tickets provide a way to gather essential data about attendees, such as their names, contact information, and any specific preferences or requirements they might have. This data is crucial for event organizers who want to understand their audience, tailor the event experience, and follow up after the event. Without tickets, tracking attendance would be much more challenging, and organizers would lose valuable insights.
Tickets play a vital role in ensuring the security and smooth operation of events. They act as a form of access control, allowing organizers to regulate entry to the event. Each ticket has a QR code, making it easier to verify attendees and prevent unauthorized access.
Although the ticketless event is not possible for now, it is possible to create a free event. Here's where you can offer free tickets.
It's important to note that Shopify counts any item processed through checkout as a "purchase," even if it’s $0. To avoid fees for free tickets, you can manually add attendees with $0 tickets if you're on the Standard or Professional plan. These manually added tickets won’t be considered sold and won’t incur fees. More details can be found here.
