Event price type with zero registrants

Mehgan Bechtel:

Carrie Sauer:

We've created a form for an upcoming university event which has many different sponsorship levels. One of the levels provides a table for students to attend the event - it includes no tickets for the donor so the entire amount is tax-deductible. It seems that Online Express will not allow me to create a price type where the registrants number is 0. Can anyone suggest a work-around for this? Why isn't 0 an option?


Thank you in advance for any advice!

We really need this option as well. Still no update or answers? 

 

• Create one registration record for an event even when multiple registration fees are selected
• Events - Allow multiple purchases for event to stack within one registration.

• Add the sponsorship option on your event form: Using this option would allow your guests to purchase a registration and a sponsorship in the same transaction, but you would still need to gather a registrant name for your sponsorship.
  
  
  For example, on this form, I've included my options (I used the Fine Tuning Tab to "hide" the number of registrants under each option) and my registrant has selected the Double and the Hole-in-One Sponsor: 
  
  
  As you can see, when they select both options, they will need to fill out any registration information for their registrants, and information for the sponsor. You can make this clearer by editing the headings. In this example, you can see I've changed the Name to be "Golfer or Sponsor Name."
  
  
  
  If the same person is registering and sponsoring, this will create 2 registrations for them on your Event Record. In this case, I have one registration for the Double (me + my guest) and one registration for my Hole-In-One Sponsorship: 
  
  Note: By default, The Raiser's Edge only allows one constituent to be registered once for the same event. You can disable this if you need to allow multiple registrations for one constituent. To do this, go to Config > Business Rules > Event Options. 

• Create separate event forms for sponsorships and registrations: You can also have multiple forms for the same event, so if you'd like to create one event form for your registrants and one event form for your sponsors, you can do that as well. This works well if you need to gather different information from participants versus sponsors. By creating separate forms, you can set up different participant attributes you'll collect on different forms. The downside here is that your donors would need to complete two separate transactions if they wanted to purchase a registration and a sponsorship.
