Simple Event Registration Through Bloomerang

fundraising tools

fundraising event

We frequently encounter organizations that have some very straightforward event registration and tracking needs. While Bloomerang is not event management software, our online forms can handle event registrations for organizations using these specially designed enhancements:

  • Selecting from multiple ticket types (or sponsorship levels)
  • Additional donation during ticket purchase
  • Calculated totals
  • Registration information stored to generate an attendee list (general seating)

Multiple Registration Types

When creating an event, there can be a variety of ticket options that are appropriate. It could be tickets that have different benefits (VIP access, early registration) or are for different audiences (general admission vs. students). Tickets can even be set up to handle sponsorship levels that include tickets for multiple attendees. Finally, don’t forget the non-deductible amounts to ensure year-end receipts are correct.

Registration setup

Additional Donation Amount

Commonly overlooked, it’s a great idea to give donors the option to specify an additional donation amount to help boost what the event is supposed to do – generate additional fundraising revenue.

Registration selection

Calculated Totals

For both the selected registration type and the total number of tickets included, registrants can quickly pick how many tickets (or sponsorships) they would like to buy and display how many total tickets they’ll get and for what total price.

Record Registrations and Report

All registration information is stored in Bloomerang: the name of the purchaser as well as the ticket quantity, type, and total amount. Then, it’s straightforward to get a count of total attendees and list of constituents.

All of this functionality can be quickly set up by anyone using Bloomerang so you can spend less time working with technology and more time with your donors!

    Hi Alexandra - Please reach out to our customer support team ([email protected]).

  • Alexandra Scott

    How do I create an event? I can't find that in my account.

  • Kristen Hay

    Hi Denise - you can check out some of our new event functionality and peer-to-peer tools powered by Qgiv: https://bloomerang.co/product/online-giving/

  • Denise

    I wish it would allow for free events instead of having a completely different process for them. Sometimes we're friendraising.

  • Kristen Hay

    Thanks for your questions, Theresa. Can you pass these along to [email protected]? They'll be able to answer your questions and walk you through how to set this up in your Bloomerang account.

  • Theresa Stevens

    How do I allow the donor to select the number of tickets they wish to purchase in one transaction, and have the total calculated based on their input? Currently we set up 1 ticket, 2 tickets, 3 tickets, 4 tickets, etc. and that is extra scrolling and confusing for our attendees.

  • Pamela Kohler

    How can I cap the number of tickets sold? I can't find that anywhere.

  • Tanya Adolph

    How do I create an event code in bloomerang? And custom questions -- is this your first event?

  • Kristen Hay

    Yes, you can cap registrations

  • Jason

    If you have an event with limited seating, is there a mechanism for capping the number of registrations available for the event?

  • Jenae Ridge

    In the example of Hans Solo who purchased 3 tickets, do you capture who his guests are or he is simply attributed to those tickets?
