How do I sell tickets and tables for a charity gala online?

List each seat and each table as its own ticket type with a price and a quantity. Ask the buyer for the name of everyone at a table. Take payment by card or PayPal, close sales on a set date so you know your head count, and keep the guest list for check-in. Any ticket page that does these things will work.

Why Payly

Single seats and tables of 8

Sell seats one by one and whole tables as separate ticket types, each with its own price and number available. Offer only as many tables as your room holds.

Every guest's name at the table

A question asks for the name of everyone at a table. Add questions for a company name or dietary needs. Every answer is in Responses, which you can download as a CSV.

Tables paid in three payments

A company can pay for a table in 3 monthly payments. The tickets come by email after the first payment, and the payments stop by themselves after the last one.

Honest answers

Can guests choose their seats at a table?

No. Assigned seats are not supported. Ask for each guest's name, then seat everyone yourself from your list of responses.

Can I stop selling before the night?

Yes. In the builder's Settings, set Close on under Responses. After that moment the page shows your closed message instead of taking orders. You can also set sale dates on each ticket type, for an early bird price.

Do the date and place print on the tickets?

No. Write them in the event's description, under its title. Each ticket shows its type, its code and a QR code. Sell tickets to an event goes through the steps.

What if a guest cannot come?

Refund the payment from the Payments screen. A full refund puts that order's tickets back on sale, so you can sell them again, and Check in turns the ticket away. A partial refund keeps the tickets.

Is it really free?

Yes. There is no monthly fee, no transaction fee and no paid tier. PayPal and Stripe charge their standard processing fees on each payment, as they would on any platform. How can this possibly be free?
