Running Your Event
Auctria makes running your event easy, with seamless options for sales, guest management, and participation across the online platform and mobile devices.
Run Your Event Like a Pro π
The big day is here! Now that your event is set up, itβs time to run things smoothly β from selling last-minute tickets and sponsorships to checking in guests and managing tables.
Sell Tickets
Even on event day, you can still sell tickets if your event allows walk-ins or late registrations.
Auctria gives you multiple ways to sell tickets:
- Guests can purchase them directly from your Event Website.
- Through the Tickets Dashboard if youβre processing ticket sales manually.
- With the Auctria Admin App, perfect for selling at the door and in the room.

Sell Sponsorships
If you have sponsorship opportunities still available, you can also sell sponsorships right up to the start of your event (or even during it). Just like tickets, you can do this:
- Online through your Event Website.
- Directly from the Sponsorships Dashboard.
- At the venue using the Admin App.

Promote Your Event Website
Even on event day, itβs important to keep driving traffic to your event website β especially if youβre running an online auction or virtual fundraiser.
Quick reminder: Make sure youβve added social media links to your website so guests can easily share your event!

Manage Table Assignments
If your event includes seating, you can use Auctriaβs Tables feature to assign guests to tables and make adjustments on the fly. This makes check-in easier and ensures everyone knows where to go.
You can access Tables by clicking through Participants Tables.
Check-In Your Guests
A smooth check-in process sets the tone for a great event. Auctria offers several ways to handle check-in, so you can choose what works best for your team and your guests.
Your Check-In Options
- Organizer Check-In β Use the Check-In Dashboard or Admin App to check in guests.
- Self Check-In β Allow guests to check themselves in from their mobile devices.
- On-Site Assistance β Use the Admin App for quick lookups and walk-in registrations.
