  • 1.  Setting up Gala Dinner

    Posted 07-26-2019 01:34
    Hey folks, I'm setting up a gala dinner event in classic.  Wondering if anyone out there has tips on setup?  I'm selling tickets and tables.  Invitees can purchase up to 10 individual tickets at once and add names of their guests at registration, they can also buy tables and then also add guest names during registration.  Can also buy a table and individual tickets (1x table plus 6 tickets, for example). 
    I'm a bit confused about whether I should be setting up admission items and optional items, or just one?  Would single tickets and tables be separate admission items? 
    Generally, any tips from folks with a lot of experience with dinners. 
    Thanks

    Never done anything like this, but...
    Could you set the guest tab make it minimum 6 and maximum 6 for a table?

    If you need to collect names, don't use optional items.
    Or I suppose you can use a question to collect names but reporting would be cumbersome.

    I forgot cvent has a seating function. :)

    Have you looked at?
