With the fall season well underway, it’s the perfect time to reflect on your event processes and strategize for winter. Leading athletic directors like you are adopting a unified approach to ticketing, concessions, and fundraising to enrich the event experience for their staff and fans.
Game Changers of Digital Event Management for Winter Sports
Save Time and Effort
Managing events can be especially time-consuming in the busy winter season, but a digital platform simplifies the process from start to finish. Now you can easily create, promote, manage, and reconcile all your events in one system. Redirect your time and resources to other critical aspects of your program.
Simplify Scheduling
Winter can be hectic, with numerous events to organize simultaneously. Streamline your scheduling, seating charts, and season passes by using a digital ticketing provider that offers a complete event administration platform. Easily import schedules from all top scheduling platforms and edit events as needed with just a few clicks.
Offer Convenient Digital Concessions
Expand your digital capabilities this winter by managing concessions in the same platform as ticketing. This integrated approach offers fans the ease of purchasing refreshments alongside their event tickets. Fans can check out quickly with a credit or debit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay and get back to the game, and your busy staff won’t need to worry about counting cash or having enough change on hand.
Raise Funds Effortlessly
Now you can also manage fundraisers digitally in the same platform as ticketing and concessions. Easily tell your story, connect with your loyal fanbase, and make it easy for them to support your causes. You also can track your progress, process donations securely, and receive funds promptly. As you close out the fall season, think about the fundraisers you could launch to support your winter sports programs.
Get Transparent Financial Reporting
Streamline your bookkeeping for all your events this winter by managing tickets, concessions, and fundraising in one platform. Every transaction is accurately recorded in real time, minimizing risk and accelerating reconciliation. Finance teams can access detailed reports and easily meet audit requirements.
Reduce Costs and Increase Revenue
By adopting a digital approach now, you won’t need to ask as many of your busy staff members to work at your winter events. Fewer people will be needed to validate tickets, work in the concession stand, or count and transport cash. You can also drive more revenue with reduced accounting errors, better security, and higher sales.
