GameDay's Events module provides an end-to-end event management solution which integrates with various other elements of your GameDay database, such as memberships, products, reports, promotions and finances.
Through the Events module, you can create a comprehensive event journey for your entrants including front end landing pages and registration forms, payment processing, back end entrant management, communication, reporting and much more.
GameDay caters to various different type of events, including:
- Ticketed Events: An event in which each entrant receives a ticket that can be presented upon entry.
- Event Entry Events: An event in which each entrant can simply enter into an event, or select multiple Sub-Events to register into.
- Team Events: An event in which a team manager can register their team to participate in the event, and subsequently invite teammates to register as team entrants.
Accessing GameDay Events
To access the Events module, click Events > MANAGE EVENTS in the left-hand menu.
